    Hello,
    I just put together an M6Ne, following the setup guide in this forum. I installed the HD, Proc, Memory, wireless card and CD Drive. I double checked everything and it all is installed just fine. The problem is when I turn on my computer, the blue light goes on for a second, then goes off, then it goes back on and the screen is just black and nothing happens. I figure I should at least be able to see a BIOS splash screen or something similar, but the LCD does absolutely nothing. Do I have to do somthing to connect the LCD, or could the Screen it self be faulty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    -Trey

    Don't know what it was, but i went back inside and pushed everything in again, and it seems to work great.

    Probably your memory wasn't seated tight. Happens a lot...

    I had the same exact problem, it was the memory that is was using. I bought 2 512 crucial mems from newegg and one of them didnt like the machine. It was the slot under the keyboard.
    Raplace you ram.

    I agree that it could have been that your memory wasn't in all the way the first time. I did the exact same thing. It seems that you need to push quite hard (compared with normal PC Motherboards) to get it in there right.

    Remember that the little round parts of the retaining clips should fit into the the round cutouts of the memory. If they don't, then you probably haven't pushed hard enough... or you have to flip the memory around :p but I assume most people here know that :)
