Picked up a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2011 real cheap the other day. Problem is it doesn't turn on. I get the apple logo and 3 beeps. Google says it's a memory issue. So I boot into the Mac diagnostic tool, and I run the test about 5 times. No problems detected, it even detected the 2 2gb sticks installed. So I boot into recovery and no hdd is detected. So I open it up, obviously, and I find the hdd sata cable damaged, rubbed raw between the hdd and the case.
My question is, could this damaged cable, and the lack of a hdd be causing the beeps and not booting?
I already have a new cable on order from eBay, but it's going to be a few days, and my curiosity is killing me.
Thanks
Update:
I don't think their is an actual memory issue because the diagnostic tool came back perfect. I'm wondering if that bad hdd cable could cause a false reading during bootup
