I have a amilo 1705 and when i switch the laptop on the fan kicks in and the lights come on but nothing comes up on the screen. i took the laptop tp my local computer repair shop and they said the graphics card has gone. i then took the laptop to a friend of mine and he removed the memory and the hard drive and put it back in and it worked fine for a bit and it stopped working again can any1 shed any light on this for me. i dont mind replacing components if needed but i want to be sure of the falt dont just want to put money in to it if componants dont need replacing. thanks dan

Have you tried with an external monitor plugged in?

cheers ...

bateydp · 10-24-2009, 10:19 AM

i have tried plugging it in to a external monitor.

qhn · 10-24-2009, 02:04 PM

So, external or internal monitor, the comp will not start up? Did you try removing and re-seating the memory and drive again? Did it work for a little bit again?

When you said "working for a little bit", did it switch off after a while, or would it not start again after you turned it off?

cheers ...

bateydp · 10-24-2009, 02:51 PM

the laptop worked for a bit but when i swiched it off and tried to power it up again it didn't work. i have removed the memory and the hard drive and put it back in again no luck. when you say removing the memory and re-setting it what do you mean is there a way of re-setting it. thanks dan

qhn · 10-24-2009, 03:54 PM

By re-seating, I meant to remove it, then re-install it, making sure that it snaps in correctly.

I personally would try with another ac adapter (without the battery), another stick of ram as next step.

cheers ...

bateydp · 10-25-2009, 05:48 AM

do you know anywhere i can get some cheap ram?

qhn · 10-25-2009, 05:55 AM

Check eBay.co.uk? They can go as low as 10 quids for a 512MB module.

cheers ...

bateydp · 10-25-2009, 06:04 AM

would it work with just one stick in or does it need both sticks in? thanks dan

qhn · 10-25-2009, 06:09 AM

One stick is fine, and try it on different slots, just to eliminate the issue with a "bad" slot.

cheers ...

qhn · 10-25-2009, 06:42 AM

Other than for some weirdo ram brand name, I always go with the cheap ones that I can find. Working for me so far

This is your ram specs, I believe:

bateydp · 10-25-2009, 07:00 AM

am i right in saying if the ram looks phisyically the same it will fit my laptop
thanks dan

qhn · 10-25-2009, 07:07 AM

Well of course, it will fit into the slot .... but if it is not of the right specification, it might have a small issue in working with your notebook.

cheers ...
