hi gents, I've got a little dilemma. I went to upgrade my moms acer 5315 laptop with more memory, from 2 x 512mb samsung DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) to 2 x 1gb crucial DDR2 667 (PC2 5300). now it won't boot up. nothing on the screen now period. power led lights and dvd tray will open but screen is dead. no error beeps. I reintalled the original memory and same problem. it has vista home premium for OS. any suggestions? TIA.
send laptop back under warranty replacement & don't tell them about new ram. was new ram compatible with laptop?
that's a good question. I assumed it was because it's the same memory tiger direct recommended as an upgrade with the laptop purchase. it should work ok don't ya think since I replaced both sticks and it is the same speed memory that came in it. I'm a complete novice when it comes to laptops (as you know, I can build high performance desktops all day) but upgrading memory should be a breeze in most any case. this has thrown me for a loop. thanks for the suggestions ddp.
