MacBook :: Dead Memory Slot - Computer Not Boot

Dec 29, 2010

07 Black Mac. 1 of the memory slots is flaky and computer will not boot unless memory is removed. Found local tech who said he could fix it for $100 or so. Does it involve changing actual memory slot? Or cleaning it?

MacBook Pro :: Dvd Drive Dead - Disc Won't Enter Slot

Sep 10, 2010

I have a macbook pro 2009. I've barely used the drive. Tried to pop in a disc today and nada ... zilch. The disc won't enter the slot. I don't think any disc is in there, tried ejecting in case.No activity at all. Is it rigor mortis and a trip to the Genius Pub ? Any way to check if my drive has silently passed away. I had to replace my white macbook's drive last year so I'm starting to think they're all a bit c**p.

MacBook Pro :: G4 Memory Slot Defective?

Oct 17, 2009

So I read online that my PowerBook G4 that I've had since about 2004 may have the defective memory slot that caused Apple to introduce the "PowerBook G4 (15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz) Memory Slot Repair Extension Program" in 2008. However, my serial number isn't within the program's parameters, and as I understand it, the program ended in 2008. It says it applies to serial numbers W8503xxxxxx through W8518xxxxxx; mine begins with W84.

Basically, I have a couple of questions before I a) shell out money for diagnostics and possible repairs or b) buy a new laptop: Is this a memory slot problem? My 15" PowerBook G4 (Model A1045; 1 GHz; 256 MB; 60G; Combo; BT) had been getting the beach ball for awhile, and was very slow operating and online. My sound card had been on the fritz. The internal speakers would sometimes not work, but the headphone jack would still work. So yesterday, the mouse froze while in Firefox, and after waiting awhile, I forced it to shut down. When it booted up again, I got a blank screen and three short beeps, followed by the LED light blinking periodically. All these symptoms seem to point to what Apple said was the memory slot problem [URL]

If this is a memory slot problem, what might the repairs involve and are there price estimates available? Is it better to just get another laptop? (I'm thankful I've had it for this long without any major problems, it's had a good life). If I do get another laptop, am I able to retrieve my information from my old laptop and transfer it to the new one? Is this an expensive procedure? Or is this laptop entirely kaput and my files forever trapped on there? What the recommendations out there (if I buy a new one instead doing repairs to the G4) for a laptop that will be used as my only computer (i.e., what's a good workhorse Mac)?

OS X :: OK To Leave The Other Slot Empty?

Jan 3, 2009

I just got a white Macbook 13.3 (2.1 GHz, Penryn) which originally came with just 1 GB of RAM (two sticks of 512 MB).

Then I got two sticks of 2 GB Kingston RAM for this Macbook.

I took out both 512 MB RAM and only put one stick of 2 GB RAM in, leaving the other slot empty.My Macbook works great.

My question is, is it OK if I leave the other slot empty like that?
Or should I put the other 2 GB stick in as well?

MacBook Pro :: Memory Slot Out Of Order In Core Duo

Aug 31, 2009

About 6 months ago my Core Duo MBP shut off and then rebooted with loud post beeps. Everything is fine since except that it can only run with 1 stick of RAM in the lower slot, with both or just the upper filled it doesn't boot and the optical drive sounds like it cant start. My 1 year warranty is out and missed the 2 year upgrade. Also does anyone know if this model can run 1x 2GB of memory? I used to have 1.5GB (came with 1x 512MB and added 1GB) and now been running with just 1 gig and missing the performance albeit a positive is Snow Leopard is a lot more snappy on 1 gig than Leopard .

PowerPC :: 4th Ram Slot Is Showing Empty?

Nov 7, 2006

The Graphite 733mhz PM G4 has only 3 ram slots. But the "fourth" one shows up on my system as "empty". Does this mean that it may be physically possible to put another ram slot in there? I'm confused by the limitation -- though I heard that Mac OS9 could only recognize up to 1.5gbs of ram.

PowerPC :: Dead Slot Loading Graphite G3 IMac 500 DV SE?

Feb 16, 2007

I have a charcoal iMac DV SE 500 which won't complete a proper start. The machine chimes and begins to start, and then clicks off again before anything can show on the screen. It won't start in Target Disk mode, and zapping the PRAM (starting with alt/apple/P/R, right?) has no effect. Does this sound like a dead PRAM battery, a dead 'Power/Analog' board, or a dead hard drive? Can anyone give me an idea of how much it would cost to fix, and recommend good, reliable, cheap UK repairers It's not worth much, but I have a friend who'd love it if it can be restored to life, and I'd like to get some of the files off it if it's not the drive.

PowerPC :: Adding Memory - G4 Not Recognize Bottom Slot

Jul 4, 2008

I have a Powerbook G4 that I wanted to upgrade to 1.5G from 512MB. So I added Corsair 1GB DDR RAM to the notebook and it seems to have issues recognizing both at the the same time. When I put both of them in together, it never seems to recognize the bottom slot. Putting in the 512MB in the bottom w/o the 1GB the Powerbook boots up fine. Putting in the 1GB by itself and it gives beeping noises on bootup, but it'll boot up if I put it on the top slot.

Faulty Macbook Pro Ram Slot

Apr 22, 2012

So i finally figured out what has been causing all of my kernel panics. Either the brackets or the notches that are holding the second ram stick in place have become faulty. The second ram stick permanently stays in the upright position, and if i do manage to get it parallel to everything, it can jump up at a moments notice if I do something with my computer. This is clearly a manufacturer's defect, but i dont have any warranty left. So i was wondering if any of you guys know where i can get a new ram slot since it doesnt seem to be like it is soldered to the logic board. I had 4gb, now im running on one 2gb stick, and basically the computer is nearly unusable in its current state.

MacBook Pro :: USB Not Working In 1st Slot But Fine On 2nd?

Sep 17, 2010

I just got my macbook pro on monday and today when plugging in my keyboard and mouse into the 1st USB I notice it's not working. I plug them into the 2nd and it works fine.
