    What might be reason or either solution to problem i have with my Acer Travelmate 7520, any other solution, than throw it to the deep sea.
    I bought two pieces of new memory module, for upgrading memory from 2 Gb to 4 Gb.
    New memories are 2GB-DDR2-667-S, and the label on them is 268 2RX8 PC2-5300S-555-12-ZZ 2GB, DDR2, 667, CL5.Those are bought from Memory Ten and those where in there list for my laptop, so those should be suitable for my purpose.
    If i try to start laptop, both modules installed , the power turns on but disk seek light only blinks but nothing happens and the laptop remains blind. With one mody everything is ok. Also tried wiht mixed memories one original on one new, laptop remain blind. I would be veru greatfull if some advices could be found, what would be solution to solve this.

    Be more patient and less rude if you want help here in the future.
    For best results avoid combining different brands of memory, because they're never guaranteed to be compatible with each other.

    I would suggest you return the new set of memory, remove the old set and put in two new identical sticks from a reliable brand like Corsair or G-Skill.

    Now i have been patient, but no real advices. One friend of mine had one spec site where they said that only 2 mb´s is accessible, so i some one have details and real info about this case please provide that to me. I will really contact authorities in our country to solve this.

    Well, if you refuse to believe your memory is faulty, that's your perogative, but it can happen, and happens often. It's the first thing most of us would test.

    I have tested those memories one by on and those really works , but when trying two of those nothing happens, when i try those with one new one original nothing happens, so i think those memories are ok , but ACER isnt, but will see

    Right, in which case they're probably incompatible as I mentioned earlier, or one of the memory slots is faulty.
