Serious Ram problems on A110

Hi,

I recently got a A110 Aspire One with Linpus on it
I wanted to put Lubuntu on it but noticed several problems :

- boot problem with only "L 99 99 99..." sequence on the screen after Post (OS problem i suppose)
- Usb Pendrive boot is ok

- Lubuntu install don't execute so i tested with the "memtest" function in it
-> after 1 pass i got 22 528 errors !!??

I suppose the Ram module is dead but the 512Mb of ram in it are stucked in the motherboard, aren't they ?? so what can i do beside change the motherboard ??

thanx a lot
Ps : sorry for my bad english

There is a slot for additional (up to a 1 GIG) memory on the bottom of the motherboard. However, you have to completely disassemble the net book to get at it. If you Google how to disassemble an AOA-110, you will find several references. However, I don't know if that would make a difference if the 512 k of memory soldered to the motherboard is damaged. Here is a video from You Tube on how to disassemble it.

 

Hi,

thanx for your answer
I think too that if i let the soldered ram in it, it will still crash, maybe a little less, but it's not a real solution
Do you know if there's a way to deactivate this Ram ?

 

That has been discussed before in this forum. Short answer appears to be "no."
