Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 20, 2004 Please try our module by itself and see if the system will post, please try it on either memory slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makalif Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Hi, Thanx for replying. I tried the ram by itself, in both slots, and also in combination with my other rams (2x128MB). When it is installed in either of the combinations- the laptop beeps and i have the fan of the laptop on and the num and scroll lock blinking. Blank screen. can't enter the bios with the new ram. In your opinion is it the compatibility or the product. Thanx again, -alif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroChip Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I have the exact same issue with the exact same laptop and RAM module. We have already sent one back to ZipZoomFly and are trying a second today with the same results. Rick Dickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
