Maybe you need a bios update?

To lazy to go looking for a old laptop.
6gb showed in bios then windows wouldn't boot. Then the screen started flashing all sorts of colours for no reason. Now my WiFi won't connect :roll:

At least it's not as bad as my Acer Aspire 1500, which is Athlon 64 based and has a chipset which should be able to do loads of RAM... However, the BIOS won't POST at all if there's more than 1x1GB SIMM + 1x512MB SIMM. Yep, maximum 1.5GB.

That's pretty bad going!
I've given up and ordered a WiFi card off my favorite hated auction site just.
annoyingly I had a identical laptop which I was using for spares at one point but I basically had a clear out a couple years ago and chucked all the spare parts away other than the screen :roll:
