I played a bit and determined that it's not the ram module (I had problems
getting the original 16MB module to work again, reasons explained
momentarily). I found that any time ANY pressure whatsoever is placed on the
module (even very slight), only half of it will register. With the original
16 MB module, it wasn't as sensitive, but none of it would register unless I
had it seated just right.
Since the 16MB module had problems being reinstalled, I'm venturing a guess
that it's not the ram. I'm wondering if anyone has run across this before
and can give advice.
Well, it's either a) a bad logic board, (if it's not the ram, it's what it plugs into) or b) a poor re-assembly somewhere along the line that's causing the whole logic board to ride higher than it's supposed to, allowing the keyboard to cause it to flex.
I would carefully disassemble it and make sure everything is put back in order correctly. (I had this problem with my 5300. After replacing the hard drive, I got some shielding on wrong,which caused the keyboard to block the upper PCMCIA slot)
