    Laptop Fails to Boot
    « on: January 09, 2010, 07:32:56 PM »
    I upgraded the RAM in my laptop and now when I attempt to power on, it won't boot.  The power led comes on and the optical drive led comes on but not the HD led.  It will spin a CD but won't boot from it.  I put the old RAM back in and it does the same thing.

    Also, I changed the little round internal battery as the clock had been resetting every time it was turned off.  Maybe I messed up the bios when I took the battery out?

    It was working fine before I messed with it.  It's about six years old with an Intel Centrino cpu and running XP.  Any thoughts?
