Upgraded RAM but didn't work
A friend asked me to upgrade the RAM in their Compaq Presario notebook. The correct RAM was purchased and was installed but notebook would not start.
I uninstalled the new RAM (2GB) and reinstalled the original (512MB!!!) however the computer is not starting.
Don't know where to go from here, and HP support are just not supportive at all unless I want to pay...please help!!
Questa è una buona domanda?

What happens when you try to start the computer without any RAM?

Haven't tried that, I assumed that it would need RAM to start

See, or better hear what it does. Let us know if you get any beep

Did it work before you tried to upgrade the RAM?

yes it did, albeit extremely slow. I am really starting to think that the hard drive has had it as well. Think my friend is probably better off buying something new...unless you think it's an easy fix and not the hard drive?
