Maybe its just me, but i dont know what you are asking there. There wasnt enough info. "Dim not all the way in" before? Huh? Did you put the dimm in all the way (with power off), and then power back on? There isnt much i can say....

Heh, yea sorry.

I put the dimm in but I think it was partway in (maybe backwards) and I turned it on.

In my experience, if a DIMM isn't in all the way, the machine just won't POST, but no damage is done. ie you don't even reach the point where you could enter the BIOS before an error code beeps repeatedly telling you it's not happy :(.

I have WSP with no display at all. Do you know what I did, bring it back to Compusa and ask them for exchange another one because it is still under warranty. They will ask you to sign the contract for 2 years, do not sign. Tell them that when you bought it, Compusa does not require the contract. If they still don't let you exchange another one, then you can ask for the Manager of the store then tell him the hole story if the manager still won't let you exchange then you ask for the Manager name, store location and tell him that you will call the BBB ( Better Bussines Beuru ) to file the claim or go to the web to report the problems CEO . I bet you they will exchange the FRIED WSP for you.

e.e: hehe, yea. I was tired and pissed when I wrote that.

Thanks for the help. I think I had the DIMM in part way becuase it was in backwards. God, I feel DO DUMB!

I think I'll open it up again and see if I can get it working.
