Hello CH,
I have a Dell Inspiron D620 Laptop that is not POSTing. At boot, the Dell splash / loading screen appears for a split second, and loads about 1/8 of the bar before displaying a black screen with white text:
Memory read/write failure at [ADDRESS]. read [ADDRESS] expecting [ADDRESS].
To resolve this issue, try reseating the memory.
*The address is always the same, I believe. If its relevant I could get the specific address.- I have no access to BIOS, or to boot from CD.
- I have tried booting without the hard drive installed.
- I have tried reseating the RAM.
- I have tried booting with a different RAM module pulled from a working laptop.
I have taken apart the laptop and have found no obvious signs of damage, etc.
Any ideas what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Diatech
P.S. There are no audible beep codes coinsiding with the error, and I only have one DIMM installed.
