[DM-MUG] problems with MacBook Pro [small one] in Chile

[AB]

Apple Care will pay for shipping if she bought Applecare and it has not expired.if it beeps on start up with a ?mark it is a start up systems folder issue and she's lucky if it boots and should not shut it down untill she's sure she wants to and willing to accept it may not start up again. I'd call Apple. or to circumvent the $50 phone call tech support fee for non-applecare products, she could call an Apple Store and ask the Genius, then she'd have to find a certified and authorized Apple Technician to work on her laptop in Chile.

Sounds similar to the warning beeps I've had with harddrive or motherboard issues.

Our daughter has a 12/13" MBP and is in Chile in a tiny town.  She 
just called [Skype] and says that the machine is running really slow, 
takes a minute to open up applications and it beeps at her.  She is 
running Tiger still.  She is also moving off the computer everything 
she wants to save.

Any thoughts on what is going on or what she can do?
