Pismo memory ? and dead machine ?

[Will Schoumaker]

Pismo has been running great.But with only 192 MB of RAM was over due 
for more . Bought 2 -256 MB chips online (ebay) from a Power book parts 
place I'd heard of. Stated it was 1 in low Profile RAM could be used in 
either slot . It is in fact 1 1/4 in RAM . No big deal if that size 
will work in both slots? OWC sells 1in low profile "fits both slots" , 
1 1/4 in low profile no mention of working in lower slot and 2 in high 
profile (top slot only)
I put the new RAM in one in each slot and the Pismo refused to boot . I 
finally put the old RAM back in (bottom slot RAM is 1 in) and the 
machine is still dead :-(
The only odd thing I did was by mistake I removed the heat sink from 
the CPU . I didn't realize the heat sink and cpu card would lift out as 
one piece. I put back together carefully and put a very small amount of 
thermal grease on the cpu.
I have lots of experience with desktop machines and have replaced cpu's 
and you name it in them. This is really my first Power book. Any ideas? 
I don't have a clue what to look for. It all looks good to me. thanks
