It could be that your RAM is the problem, it may have come loose slightly. What you can do is to remove the memory (see www.ifixit.com for the guide to remove) and then place it back into the macbook. Restart and see if that sorts it out. Hope this helps.

Ibook g4 will not turn on when pushing start button

Check the power source. If there are lights or beeps, they indicate issues. If not, it might be dead.

My apple macbook won't start and continuously keeps on giving a beep sound.

the beep pre-boot is signaling a kernel panic. It could be bad ram or something else, it's hard to tell without hearing the beep (they signify different things)
1 beep = no RAM installed

2 beeps = incompatible RAM types

3 beeps = no good banks

4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)

5 beeps = processor is not usable

taken from http://www.welovemacs.com/whdoallthbme.html
So depending on the beep, it means different things. However in any case I'd suggest taking it to an Apple Authorized Repair Facility. Unless you feel comfortable with assessing the proper solution on your own
Good Luck.

Frozen Mac Book now with blank screen and 3 beeps

Pull your ram cards and restart... see what you get. Then restart WITH them... you may just have an unseated ram card.

There is no display on the laptop and it does three short beeps three long beeps and three more short beeps

The video card or onboard video is dead. That is what that beep code is telling you. More than likely you will need it replaced. Sorry.

Beeping before booting

probably the RAM. Take it out and put it back in to check. You will need some RAM to boot, so try each stick separately if you can. I'm guessing though that you'll have to get at least one other stick of RAM to check. You'll probably find that one is bad. It's probably covered for life, but that would be a good reason to upgrade it.
