white screen and beeping noise
hi, i have problem with my macbook for a time now it doesn't start up
for sometime i was only able to see a white screen with an apple on it and a black mark getting longer but never riched more than half way and fan was going like crazy. finally i found somewhere if i press option+R and power it goes on utility mode, which for my surprise it did...
than i decided to erase everything on it and start all over. so i pressed HD to erase but it said it doesn't work, lucky me :) than i tried to erase the sub part? XZ? on HD on journal security option which it did but after that i wasn't able to navigate any more on the screen. so i turned of the laptop. now when i turn it on it has a white screen and beeping noise - lucky me :)
so i just want to erase everything from it to able to put a new mac os on it or to sell as parts...
thank you for help. oh i'm not a geek so please use plain language pls :)

@susienot Susie Go buy a USB flash stick. These things are cheap.

How many beeps are you getting? Is there a pattern to the beeps? The number and timing of the beeps will tell us what one of your problems may be.

3 beeps and quiet that 3 beeps again....
thank you for your help

That points to a Ram problem. Try reseating the Ram sticks, exchange slots, remove one, remove the other, until you find a proper combination when the beeping disappears.
