On my laptop there is a small button which needs to be pressed in with the tip of a pencil or similar.

If you have one of these, try it. if you can't find it check the laptop manual. make sure the laptop is turned off when you do this.

Ps: are you sure the RAM is attached in there properly? Desktop computer RAM is easy but the slots on laptops can often be a lot trickier and the RAM may seem to be in properly when it isn't.

This is the usual method.

778831 2009-06-03 01:35:00 Try taking the battery out & unplugging the AC adapter, press the power button down & hold for 30 seconds & then release, put the battery back in the then try booting up again. Try this with the original RAM in. Nictech (14748)

Did you check that the RAM was properly installed following the instructions at the link I posted before?
