    I tried to replace some RAM in the slot under the keoboard, and when i tried to turn it back on, all it did was start the fan (which is a bit louder than before) and the battery light flashes for about 5 seconds, then it all goes off again :confused:

    Any help would be great people, thanks for your time :)

    Bad RAM, most likely. Does it boot up with the old stick still?
