[Ti] PBook making strange noise

[John Griffin]

Back last Spring there was a thread about beeps coming from inside  
the computer. At the time the consensus was that it was a signal that  
RAM was defective, coming loose or put in wrong. However, this would  
happen at startup, not while you are using the computer. And it would  
usually be three beeps, not just one.

That being said, Apple does seem to have an audible signalling system  
for reporting faults. To relieve your mind you could run the Hardware  
Test that comes with your System Installer Disk 1 to see if you are  
having a RAM problem or some other hardware problem.
