Have had my Dell Inspron 1100 for about a year. [i](Yeah, I got it free because it was “dead”)[/i]
It belonged to my buds wife, until her kid spilt a nice glass of soda on it. Can you say “oops”? I helped her pick out a new laptop and she said I could have the old one to play with. [i]I never turn down equipment, as my basement clearly shows. hmm, should take some pics, huh?[/i]
Anywho, the problem was the KEYBOARD was bad. $15 off of ebay and I was rocking, and it worked great for about 8 months.
Then, for no reason I could find, it would boot into windows, and then reboot. and reboot. and reboot. and reboot…… (on and on).
I figured windows was toast, so was going to reload it. Simple enough, huh? Before doing that, I figured now was a good time to upgrade the RAM, and got a gig for $80 (kingston), instead of the 256m that was in it. Popped in the memory and turned it on, just to make sure the post would show the right amount of memory.
Would you believe that @#$@#%$@ booted? And is running fine? :0
Well, isn’t that a “fine, how do you do?” . I figured bad ram would at least crash and give some kind of error? Silly me.
Anyways, happy time to me! Didn’t get yours going? Wow, sucks to be you…. :p
