Apple recommends the following procedures for a 4 chime startup tone:
1 Check that mylar tape on docking connector is attached and in
place.
2 Disconnect hard drive cable from logic board and reboot
system. If startup sequence is normal, power off system,
reseat cable, and retest.
3 Check for sound from spinning hard drive.
4 Replace hard drive.
5 If system is connected to any external device, disconnect
device and reboot system. If startup sequence is normal,
reseat device�s cable and retest.
6 Replace logic board.
Good luck,
