Hello,
I changed the RAM on my Dell Inspiron 1100 Laptop from 128 MB to 512 MB RAM, PC2700. Only DIMM A is working, DIMM B does not function well. So I put 512 MB in DIMM A leaving DIMM B blank. The laptop works fine once started with good speed. But every time I start laptop the CAP & Shift lights go on, The fan starts the power light comes on, but the computer fails to start and the power light goes off. I have to remove and insert the memory every time I start my laptop. Sometimes do this exercise twice.
The RAM is Infeneon 512MB DDR SO DIMM PC2700, Also tried with MT RAM PC2700.
Originally the Laptop had MT Brand, PC2100, 128MB DDR.
I have tried leaving the 128 RAM in DIMM B and 512 RAM in DIMM A, The laptop first started but eventually afer 5 minutes screen shows there has been a hardware problem, run checkdsk f/.
I have upgraded the BIOS too.
HELP!
Thanks
Kim.

hi there,

as you mentioned the laptop from origin

used pc2100 and you upgraded it from 128mb to 512mb

thats great but you didnt use the same frequency as it used at beginning

this issue can be solved only by using the default frequency

that is the pc 2100

Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade the memory in my Acer Aspire One ZG5 from 1 GB to 2.5 GB by putting a 2 GB memory card in. When I tried to boot it up, the screen remained blank and nothing happened.

Question I have is whether 2GB is too big for it or did I get the wrong memory part for it (see below). The memory fitted like a glove.

Memory inserted was PC2 5300 667MHz
Netbook configuration 1GB (PC2 5300S 555) 160 GB HDD

Thanks for your help

Should I delete my TikTok account and start over?

Hi I’ve had an account for about a month.  I have just over 1000 followers and 43 videos.  None have more than a few hundred views, lots of the fist ones have very few.  
My first videos weren’t very engaging  - too long, “slow” etc.  The more recent ones seem to do a bit better.   I do travel videos with the hopes of building a big enough audience to do affiliate links.  
  Should I keep plodding along or would I be better off starting over?  If I should try again could I create another account with the same purpose or do I need to delete the old one?  Thanks for the help   www.tiktok.com/@my_travel_list
