Several weeks ago, my Macbook crashed and wouldn't recover. When I tried to boot, I didn't get the "bong," successful power-up noise, but instead for three beeps repeatedly.
After replacing the hard drive and installing 10.6.3 from the D D, I am still experiencing the problem intermittently. The MBP will run for a while, then suddenly lock up, not speak or respond to any keyboard commands. When I shut it off with the power button and try to turn it back on, I get three beeps and no bong. If I tape lightly on the underside of the casing, often this seems to help fix the problem. Waiting a while also seems to be beneficial. I'm thinking now that it might be a fan problem, but I am not enough of a hardware person to know, especially about Mac hardware. The nearest apple store is about 8 hours' drive away, so not at all practical. Does anyone have any suggestions for further diagnosing and pinpointing this problem, and what I might do about it? I'm going to talk to Apple today as well.
