system specs, HP DV9010us 17" laptop
Cpu Amd turion X2 1.8ghz
mobo Amd Compaq V6000 motherboard
ram Samsung 2x1gb ddr2 pc5300
videocard nvidia 6150 128mb
hard drive 250gb wd blue
i just bought this laptop yesterday for 70 dollars with a blown board, i had a parts v6000 compaq 15" laptop, all i had to mod was the battery post to extend the legs, and now it works great but one of the ram slots isnt working or so i think, if i put 1gb in that slot it works, if i put 2 sticks in the machine it wont work. if i try one stick in either slot it works. im not sure what the deal is.
but this board is not for this laptop, i had to modify it to make it work, but my modifications had nothing to do with the ram issue, as im using the laptop to type this right now
and i must say best 70 bucks i've spent lately.
i really need to get off of 1gb, even in windows xp this thing is a dog loading stuff without the extra 1gb
please help thanks
EDIT: THE SECOND RAM SLOT IS NOT WORKING AT ALL......
