Take that RAM out -- it's clearly not working with that model -- and put in some known-good. That "tone" you're hearing is the official "no RAM" sound. Won't boot up without some, and it's not "seeing" the one you have in there. You either accidentally destroyed that stick with static, or it's not fully seeded, or it's just plain ol' bad RAM. Luckily, 128MB sticks of PC100/133 SDRAM is extremely inexpensive -- dealRAM.com lists 128MB as going for $10 (hardly worth the mailing, even!) and even 256MB wouldn't set you back much more than a sawbuck.
Now that's the best news I've gotten on this thread, besides those of how to get inside this 'lil cutey. I hadn't a clue as to reading the new to me sounding tone, Thanx for the utter simple clarity here. Now to find the coins and score me some good Ram. Thanx again. Am I right in thinkin'; either Ram slot will work fine when using a single stick of memory, and that there is no first populate here/ then populate there order to things when using 2 sticks??, and also that a single same speed for both sticks is the best situation??, but then now, which speed to choose from would be best CL2 or CL3??
