Hi John,

Sounds like a typical tech weekend to me ;p

Not to rub salt in your wounds, but I recently got a price on upgrading my Alienware 51 7700 to 4GB. I gave Crucial a call in the UK as my MB wasn't listed on the site and was really chuffed to discover that a 2GB kit was only going to cost me ~£185.

Not exactly peanuts, but loads better than I was expecting. Time to up the RAM in my VM's :)

Keep on playing ....

Cheers

Adam

I've seen a few dells go like that in the same way (all after warranty periods too) I managed to get one working again after taking it apart and pushing at things :-) including replacing the internal battery. Also I have also witnessed the blue scfeen of death with a Dell TruMobile 1300 attached to Fujitsu Siemens Hardware but it only had 512mb of memory. I'm still trying to find a solution to that one, I hadn't heard about the memory before but I might try a different set of memory modules. You dont still have any links to where you got your info from by any chance?

Cheers

Mike
