    Hi,

    I just bought a 512mb stick of MicroDimm (214pin) ram for my Asus M5Ae laptop. I tried to install it but I'm having some problems.

    When I put the ram in, the laptop doesn't boot up. It turns on and then shuts off. When I remove the ram, the laptop boots up normally.

    Do I have a stick of faulty ram or am I doing something wrong here? :confused:

    You have to be really careful putting those microdimms in, it just lays on the connector as opposed to 'snapping' in like normal ram, and the pins are very delicate.
