rvaro Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi, I have a MacBook 1.83 intel core 2 duo... I tried to install 2GB of RAM and it would not take. Upon startup the sleep light would blink rapidly with black screen... no responce. I tried different slots for each, one at a time with old RAM in the other slot, exchanged the previous set for a new set just in case they were damaged. I have tried almost everything.. any ideas would be great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 What is the part # of the memory in question? Have you looked up your laptop on the configurator? http://www.corsair.com/configurator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2008 On some laptops you will need to reset the configuration for the laptop to recognize the new hardware. Follow these steps: Please make sure when physically removing or installing hardware that the system is not plugged to the AC adapter and remove the battery. Power on the laptop with no RAM installed. Leave the system on for 30 seconds. Then install the new memory and power on. If it still does not boot up correctly, test the modules one at a time.
