Mac Air 2011 Beeping 3 times with Black screen


My macbook air (July 2011) screen was blinking/flashing while in use (was plugged in with 100% charge) & screen went blank and now doesn’t get switched ON but only beeps multiple times (3 times i think) when I press power button. None of the known fixes work. Could you suggest something?

Three beeps, pause, repeat: RAM failure.
