An idea is all I have! I had the same problem when I pulled my 540c 
apart to clean it (and to uhhh... poke around the insides cos I hadn't 
seen inside one before :D and when I'd clipped the memory back in, the 
tiny fine-pinned connector had one pin leaning over to the side and 
shorting with another. I used a pair of tweezers to straighten it, 
popped the memory in and all was fine again.

I don't know what the CPU connector is like, but that's my experience...

be well :D
