[QUOTE="MathiasVH, post: 922000, member: 125917"] Hi there! I purchased a used Macbook 2ghz today. It ran perfectly when I got it. I had already bought the right RAM-sticks for it, so I upgraded it as told in the manual as in the tutorials on youtube. But now, my Macbook won't power on - NOTHING happens, when I press the powerbutton, and I've tried the most with my RAM - Inserting the original ones, placing the 2gb upgrade various places and so on - But nothing. I may or may not be applying the RAM wrong, which right now seems like the only likely problem, BUT: If I do something wrong, then what could it be? My pressure on the RAM-sticks to fit has become bigger and bigger, and I really don't think it's that.. So, what could I do wrong here? And could it be something else? HOW can I get my MacBook to work - I will greatly appreciate ANY help :) Thanks Mathias [/QUOTE]
