Re: Memory Issues, Sighs and the anguish of helplessness...
First test the ram to make sure all is OK. Test by replaceing with known good modules. Go to PBFIXIT.com and they have take apart guides there. If the known good ram still does not make issues dissappear, check w/known good new daughter card ($50 on ebay). That will fix l2 cache problem. Check w/both sets of ram. But I think it's wonky ram... Or send to qualified, fairly-priced techie, not like the idiot lister who loaded you with stolen software and called it fixed, but someone dilligent, who knows what they are doing. I am one, but in Seattle. Anyone here in her neck of the woods? If you can get it fixed yourself and you can't find someone locally, drop a line.

Re: Memory Issues, Sighs and the anguish of helplessness...
Nevertheless, the problem sounds like a memory issue, and Wegener is not an irreproachable concern. Don't sigh, LEARN. It's a 5 minute operation and instructions are posted on the web. The memory is new...Wegener installed max memory when we replace the processor...in September or October...

[snip] Built in memory test has detected a problem. Please contact a service technician for advice. SO is it an L2 cache issue? L2 Cache problems on the Lomard are fairly common. It is not a user fixable problem except that you can replace the entire processor card. One of the upgrade manufactures will fix the problem for a bit over a $100. A bad L2 cache will impact performance but will not cause any stability problems. Our Lombard which has a bad L2 cache is used as the family message center and lives on the kitchen counter. It runs 10.3 and has an uptime of probably around 6 months. It is without a doubt the most heavily used computer in the house. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I can give it go if the instruction are clear and warnings emphasized. I did replace my HD in this Lombard myself...preen If you can replace the hard drive you can replace the memory. Go slow and beware static electricity. I don't wear my polertec vest over my cotton shirt and I always touch the aluminum frame around the hard drive before touching anything else. The RAM sticks go into the socket at a 45 degree angle, make sure they are all the way in then push them down flat against the board. Try the memory in different combinations, each stick in each slot. Try just one stick at a time, if it starts with one but not the other you've got a good idea where the problem is. If you can get it started Apple System Profiler will tell you what memory it sees and if the external L2 cache is present.
