| 577432 | 2007-08-07 04:00:00 | wainuitech: hey thanks for everything! wratterus: I see two of those clip like things? which one do I take out? |

| 577433 | 2007-08-07 04:03:00 | OK. There should be a clip (cache.lifehacker.com) on each end of the slot (www.zabzaa.com) that the ram (www.dansdata.com) goes into. All the RAM chips need to come out, to do this you will need to unclip them. Hope all those links work for you...they are sweet for me here ;) |

| 577435 | 2007-08-07 04:09:00 | OK. Thats sweet, take both chips out. | wratterus (105) | ||

| 577437 | 2007-08-07 04:14:00 | Cool. Clips don't matter. Now plug the PC in, turn it on and tell me what happens, and if theres any beeps. |
wratterus (105) | ||
| 577438 | 2007-08-07 04:15:00 | there are NO beeps<<<<thats not good is it? just exact same as before should that little battery be in there while the RAM is out? |

| 577439 | 2007-08-07 04:22:00 | No, unfourtunatley it's looking like a failed motherboard.:dogeye: :dogeye: One more thing to try. Leave the RAM out Take out the graphics card, and any other PCI cards, EG modem. The PCI (www.build-your-own-computer-tips.com) slots look like that.. those white ones. Anything in them, including the graphics card which will be at the top, take out. Make sure the bios battery is in and the RAM is out. Then turn the PC on and see what happens. What we're doing is diagnosing and narrowing down the problem, by removing all the items possible that could be causing the problem. |
