Oh dear, I've killed it.
Trying to install a 256Mb upgrade in the bottom slot.
Put it all back together again, pressed go and nothing,
nada.
Here's what I did:
1. Popped off the keyboard
2. Took the two screws out of the heat shield over the
processer, and the longer one out of the big heatsink
under the lower left hand side of the keyboard.
3. Pulled gently at the tab on the side of the processer
card to lift it out. It was very reluctant. So I pulled the
one for the hard drive (which came out quite easily),
then had another go. Eventually it came free, though it
felt more difficult than I had expected. And in the
process I knocked the heatsink off the top of the
processer (though this seemed to clip back on OK). But
I didn't hear any 'breaking' noises.
4. Removed the old 64 chip and replaced it with the
new 256 one.
5. Reversed the above. The processer card went back
in quite smoothly, and I felt it had engaged OK in that
big socket with all the little pins.
Question - could I have dislodged something during this
process? If so, what, where, and is there an online
resource which can show me how to put it back?
I'm 99% sure I haven't fried it with static - I discharged
myself and didn't move while I was working on a clean
desk etc etc.
Any and all help gratefully received before I reluctantly
admit my failure to a £50 per hour techie.
TIA
Mike
