hi installed 4gb ram 2 x 2 but only 1 is reading the other isnt what to do?
-
-
what is listed in Apple System Profiler (Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info) under memory?
-
bank 0/dimm0 2gb ok
bank 1 / dimm1 empty -
try to change their place with each other and see what will be.
EDIT: And please CHECK THAT YOU REALLY PUT 2-ND STICK CORRECTLY SO YOU CAN'T SEE PINS. I know a guy who created a thread where people tried to help him about his RAM for couple pages. At the end someone told him to replace and put it back again (which would be a third time) and only then it worked! That guy who suggested that also placed his own memory with success in the same model of laptop only on 3-rd time! Palmhand. -
yes im definite i put them on the right side because you can only put it on one side or else it won't fit, however i shall try swapping them

You can try to run just 1 stick at a time... see which one works right by itself... also try each one by itself in each slot. See if its a ram problem or a slot problem. Its probably just a bad stick of ram if you've inserted it a few times and it still doesn't work.
Ram not reading?
