Please ensure you have read the notice about adding RAM as VAIO-Link keep a record of the RAM you should use for an upgrade. <BR /><BR /><STRONG>WARNING</STRONG>: Any damage caused by upgrading RAM will more than likely render the warranty useless.<BR /><BR />Do you get a 3:3:1 beep pattern at startup? This is characteristic of improperly seated RAM.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Oct 2004 12:59:13 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/can-t-add-new-ram-to-my-pcv-rsm22/m-p/147488#M36053 jammold 2004-10-20T12:59:13Z Re: Can't add new RAM to my PCV-RSM22 ? https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/can-t-add-new-ram-to-my-pcv-rsm22/m-p/147490#M36054 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Also try and keep to the same type of RAM<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Oct 2004 14:02:20 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/can-t-add-new-ram-to-my-pcv-rsm22/m-p/147490#M36054 kee-lo_ 2004-10-20T14:02:20Z Re: Can't add new RAM to my PCV-RSM22 ? https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/can-t-add-new-ram-to-my-pcv-rsm22/m-p/147492#M36055 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I've not got the 3-3-1 Beep Pattern.
