Default 2GB upgrade does NOT work in a UK Mini 10v - 06-07-2009, 05:53 PM

I have just tried a second known working 2GB memory stick and this does not work either in my Dell Mini 10v. When I try to book I just get some beeps and nothing on the screen. I have tried both a Kingston PC2-5300 and a Samsung PC2-6400 stick - both work fine on my other Dell laptops.

Using CPUID the motherboard is showing as model CN0Y53 revision A02. The chipset is i945GSE revision A03 and I am running BIOS A02. Could someone else with a working 2GB upgrade confirm their motherboard revision please?

Has anyone got any suggestions - has anyone upgraded a UK model yet to 2GB?

I'll be tearing my 10v apart again later on, so I'll get a closer look at everything when I do. I wonder if it just has issues with some RAM. I used the Crucial stick I pulled from my Mini 9 and had no issues though.

I now have the 2GB ram upgrade working with the A03 BIOS and a new 2GB stick.
