Macbook Pro Resurrected!
Filed Under Apple on 2008-04-11, 19:45
It is back from the dead! Upon suggestions from a couple of friends and some vague posts on random forums, I swapped out the new 4gb of RAM I bought with the original 2gb that came with the machine. My Macbook Pro then booted without problems. *sigh* Looks like this RAM is headed back to Crucial. For anyone else that’s trying to figure out why their Macbook Pro is showing a grey screen and the light is blinking on the front 3 times, pausing and then blinking again, check your RAM! While trying to find out a way to test RAM, I finally found this page from Apple. I don’t know why I wasn’t able to find this page in any of my searching before. I guess it’s not well indexed for the search terms I was trying. So, this link is for Google to find the page when some poor unfortunate soul that ends up in the same predicament as I did, wondering what the heck three blinks means:

yikes, i just bought a new MacBook Pro… as well as 4GB of RAM (2gb sticks x 2) from Crucial. I haven’t run into any problems yet, but after reading your story, i’m now worried.
on the PC side, there is a memory testing program called “memtest” or something like that. Is there anything similar on the Mac side?

@victor: I use memtest on the PC side all the time too. I’m not sure of an equivalent tool for the Mac yet.
Anyone have any suggestions?

i guess memtest exists for Mac, too! I found this article in MacWorld:
