However the thought occurs that since larger ram modules almost always mean higher power consumption _AND_ these 'Books seem to be known for rather shaky internal power supply bits, is it possible that adding the larger capacity ram module simply overloaded something power-supply-related? Something that was perhaps marginal anyway?
In other words, maybe Stefan didn't do a 'baaaad thing' except upgrade, but rather the poor old 'Book simply got (over)loaded with the final straw(s) which broke its back.
IIRC, he added a new HD at the same time, but since newer HDs usually are
more frugal with power than older drives, I doubt the new HD would be a
suspect in this conjectured PS-bits-failure scenario.
just my $.005,
