Memory problems
Incorrectly connected or faulty memory modules may cause
errors that seem to be device-related. It is worthwhile
checking for these first:
1
Click
Start
, then click
Turn off computer
.
2
Click
Turn Off
.
The operating system shuts down and turns off the computer
automatically.
3
Remove the memory module.
4
Reinstall the memory module, following the instructions
in
“Installing additional memory (optional)” on page 61
and making sure it is seated properly.
5
Check for the error again.
6
If the error recurs, remove the memory module entirely
and check for the error again.
If removing the memory module eliminates the error, the
memory module may be faulty. If the error recurs without the
memory module installed, the error is not caused by the
memory module.
TECHICAL NOTE: You must have a least one memory module
installed for the computer to work.

will neither power the computer nor recharge the batteries.
Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:
