Home / I-Opener Areas / I-Opener Technical Stuff 128MB SODIMM Problem

128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) no_one Profile | Email I just purchased a 128MB PC133 SODIMM for use in my I-opener. Unfortunately it only shows up as 64MB. It has 4 memory chips on one side and none on the other so they are 32MB each. Is this too much for the I-opener to detect? Any way around it? Anyone want to trade this new one for one that will work? Thanks. 07-09-2002 15:23:50

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) vailr Profile As far as I know, the only 128MB Sodimms that will work, are double-sided & have 16 square chips in total, 8 per side. If the chips aren't the square ones, but more rectangular, it may not work without producing HD errors & Windows BSOD's. Supposedly, Circuit City has some "Centon" brand 128MB Sodimms that will work, but look before buying. 07-09-2002 19:49:21

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) vailr Profile Correction: the 16 chip/8 per side is how the 256MB Sodimm's must be configured, in order to work in an IOpener. 07-09-2002 19:53:09

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) Kludgemeister Profile I just had the same problem. From what I've read elsewhere on the board, *any* 128MB SODIMM will work (as opposed to the 256MB SODIMM's as valir mentioned above). I just installed a 128MB (16Mx64) SODIMM from Memorypro in my i-o and it only recognizes 64MB. There are 4 chips on the front and none on the back. Are there indeed special guidlines for even 128MB SODIMMs? Being a cheap SOB I thought that this $19 with free shipping stick would work, but apparently not... Kludgemeister 04-04-2003 21:20:38

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) redwood Profile I had a Nightmare with several different memory sticks, in several different Iopeners.. I just threw my hands up, and left them in the ones that worked best... I guess some people are Luckyer... good lluck! 04-05-2003 11:14:38

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) vailr Profile Sodimm 128 MB memory, works great. (Have since upgraded to 256 MB). $22, shipped. Heatware: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php4?id=10337 e-mail: vail317@hotmail.com 04-05-2003 15:09:35

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) Kludgemeister Profile Thanks for the offer, valir, but I already ordered a new SODIMM last night. I found the one post (can't find it again, so I don't remember who posted it) about *all* SODIMM's needing to have chips no larger than 128 megabits (i.e. 4 chips for 64MB, 8 chips for 128MB, 16 chips for 256MB...) Kludgemeister (now if my sample RS232 chips will only arrive, I'll be done...) 04-06-2003 01:41:52

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) r_fl_z Profile | Email Kludge: If you are having difficulty obtaining your FREE samples, remember that there are two sources for the samples included with the Dual Serial board. I would make a request to each source. Jack at BADFLASH.com also has a good price on the CPG's as well. Best regards, r_fl_z 04-06-2003 11:03:11

RE:128MB SODIMM Problem (modified 0 times) Kludgemeister Profile Not knowing how long a memory Maxim has (I already got samples from them the last time) I requested samples from Sipex this time. I checked Badflash's site, but I don't see where he has the chips listed (but I see he has your board up again, with a picture!) Kludgemeister 04-06-2003 12:23:34
