Brad Fallon,

I have installed a 1gb and a 512mb ram in my compaq presario sr1940il but only the 1 GB works the 512mb remains idel. my friend said that there is a hardware lock in the motherboard so can any one give idea about this problem

There shouldn’t be any hardware lock.
I checked three different memory sellers and they all said that Compaq Presario sr1940il supports up to 2GB RAM.
Make sure the 512MB memory module seated correctly. Try reconnecting it.
Also, try switching memory slots.
The installed memory should be detected and configured automatically.

I have a Compaq presario laptop and it has been giving me an issue. I’ve had it for about 2 years now, but whenever I turn it on, about 20 minutes later it gets real hot underneath where the fan is suppose to be and it’ll just shut off. I don’t think my fan is working anymore either, ’cause I believe that is what used to prevent it before from over heating. I have to movie it to different spots, ’cause my desk gets real hot from it over that period of time. Is this something I can fix easily?

After I replace the current chip with a Corsair 1GB and tried to start it, Nothing Happen. Then i replace it with the old chip and nothing happen. What have I done or what can I do to get running again?

This is not a comment but another question. I was poking around on my laptop tonight and suddenly got the blue screen of death. Now I cannot even get any power out of the damn thing! It won’t turn on, so I can’t reboot. It is an old Dell laptop, it was to the point where it had to be plugged in to function (no more battery power) and the plug came out after I got the BSOD. Any ideas on how to get it turned on again at least or should I just go get a new laptop(gulp)?

The best program I’ve found for diagnosing any computer problems is a program called UBCD4win. It boots windows from a cd and has a bunch of tools built right in, even a memory tester. We use it a lot on our client’s machines.
