Hey, My ThinkPad 13 2nd gen won't start up for no good reason. The red light is on right now. I took the laptop apart and put the RAM back in properly, also removed the battery and put it back in again. When I turn it on, a loud high-pitched beep comes out. What should I do? Thanks so much!

Welcome to the forums! ThinkPad 13 2nd generation. Can you explain what that beep means? Did you change slots for RAM? Maybe you could borrow another piece to see if it works better, just in case your current one is broken or not working properly.
