Does anyone have any spare memory that we could borrow and test??? naturally you will get it back....

eventually........

Anyone?????

let us know exactly what memory it is.
surely someone will have some in their stash drawer.
maybe even me.

MDU - cheers for that, but those are the post codes rather than the beep codes - cant see Acer on the list on the right, or am I missing something obvious? Unless someone has a mini PCI post card the codes alone wont narrow it down.

9cents - fans are working, and circulating the air plus it doesnt seem to be getting too hot so fairly confident its not overheating.

I have a spare stick of SODIMM 256MB ram if you need Cibby. Not sure on condition though.

I also have an Intel Celeron 1.7 Cetrino Prosessor ( Cant vouch for condition). Both came out of a liquid damaged NEC Versa M400 and I cant look for the official bits and bobs till I get home.

**WRT** · 30th May 2006, 16:03

Ok, sorry just been busy with "work" . . . pfft, rude buggers. Dont they know I'm busy?

Ok, badcat, I think the PC2700 should work, as thats whats labelled on the RAM already in there. Had assumed it was 266mhz as Memcheck detected a 133FSB.

If you dont mind parting with that we can give it a try and see whether the RAM is the problem or not?

Your help is all much appreciated guys.

Just had a look and I was wrong.

It is a stick of 256MB DDR SDRAM for a lapto

the Processor is an Mobile Intel Pentium 4 2.3GHz- 3.06GHz with enhanced Intel Speedstep technology (WOW!!)
L2 cache is 512kb
533MHz is Processor bus speed.

If they help.......
