Points to note about memory module error

If you install a memory module that is not compatible with the computer, the

Power indicator will flash (on for 0.5 seconds, off for 0.5 seconds) in the

following ways:

If there is only an error in Slot A: repeatedly flashes orange twice, then

blue.

If there is only an error in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange, then blue

twice.

If there is an error in Slot A and in Slot B: repeatedly flashes orange

twice, then blue twice.

In all instances you should shut down the computer and remove the

incompatible module(s).

Removing a memory module

To remove the memory module, make sure the computer is in boot mode.

Then:
1. Be sure the power is off and all cables are disconnected from the

computer.

2. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery and the screws

securing the memory module cover.

3. Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.
4. Lift one side of the insulator and push the latches to the outside to

release the module. A spring will force one end of the module up.

5. Grasp the module by the sides and pull it out.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will

become hot. In this case, let the memory modules cool to room

temperature before you replace them. Or you will get burnt if you touch

any of them.

Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the

computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access

problems.
