Ok, heres my question. I have recently been given the above laptop by a friend to see if i can get it working again. It will not boot. The power button iluminates, the fan works, the CD rom makes a noise, nothing else.
Anyway, i have spent some time looking on web and have tried a number of old wives tales before opening up the laptop, to find what i think is no RAM. I have downloaded the service manual and this also says that the location where i have an empty RAM port, should have RAM in it.
I went back to the owner who says, that no one has been in the laptop and it just stopped working.
I have took the full back off the cover and the RAM has not worked loose, its not in the laptop moving about.
My question to everyone is in 3 parts...
1 - is there a second RAM built in to the laptop which i may have overlooked?
2 - would lack of RAM cause my symptoms?
3 - is my friend telling porkies?
