06-07-2009, 04:09 PM
So I tried to upgrade my Mini 10v to 2GB following the service manual - it was a pain but it went OK - I used a 2GB stick that works in my Mini 9. However when I reassembled and pressed the power button, the white LED came on but nothing on the screen and I just got some beeps! I couldn't find any reference guide to the Mini 10v beeps. I am going to try and put back the original memory just in case. - Simon. |

More than likely the RAM you replaced isn't fully inserted or it may be defective... |

Well I replaced the original 1GB of ram (removing the system board gets easier with practice!) and it now works fine again - so definitely an issue with the 2GB stick. This ram works fine in my Mini 9 - in fact I have just put it back in to check. I noticed that there was a yellow label with "Rev A02" on the memory socket. Can anyone else with a UK model confirm they have successfully upgraded to 2GB? I have another 2GB stick on order in case there is some compatibility issue. I hope my Mini 10v hasn't been restricted to 1GB! - Simon. |

I have a similar issue with my ram but i live in the US. My ram works in another laptop and has been noted to work by other members. Mine may be going back if it continues. |

Just realised I had bios v A00 on my machine. I've upgraded to A02 but haven't found any notes to see if the upgrade corrected any ram issues. |

It shouldn't make a difference. When I did the upgrade the first time, I was running A00. Didn't upgrade the BIOS until after I had already upgraded the RAM. Triple Boot Guide - 10v RAM Upgrade Videos - mechdrew's OSX guides |

Man, that is a bummer. Maybe the mobo is bad. Did you try running the diagnostics. I just noticed a new A03 BIOS was released today. It speaks of 3G but maybe it tweaks other things.
