Thanks for the reply, i got DDR-400 pc3200 ram 2x1gb and still no joy with it? Thanks

 

Just so that you can discount the new sticks from absolute fault, use one stick only and try..remove and then use the other. As a "control", put back an original ram stick and retry.

 

hi, iv tried each 1gb stick seperate and neither of them work, it only works with the origional 256mb stick, Thanks

 

I went to the Crucial Memory Advisor Tool.

I see no listing for a Packard Bell imedia 1602. Where did you buy the RAM sticks?

 

If you meant the "1502", I see you bought the wrong RAM. Please correct me if I'm wromg.

 

Memory Upgrade for the Packard Bell iMedia 1502 Desktop/PC




* Module Size: 1GB
* Package: 184-pin DIMM
* Feature: DDR PC2700
* Specs: DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V • 128Meg x 64 •

 

Good one gaz..now we know. Look for the markings on the original stick. Post all info you see.

 

@peshtigo. There's a world of difference in what he has too what he needs by the info you posted. Even if it is the model gaz states, there's the buffered and un-buffered. Good digging around there pesh.

 

hi, thanks for the replys and help, yes it is definatly a 1602 and it never came up on crucial with it but the crucial scanner scan my system and said it was defo pc3200 ddr 400.

The origional ram has 256mb DDR, 400, CL3 on it

Thanks
