I spill some water on my dell Inspiron 2200, I air dried it with cool air by a air drier. Then I start the computer, it goes to a DOS screen and say:

Memory write/read failure 4F7E0004 Read 7E817E91 expecting 7E917E91
Memmory address line failure at 4F7E0000 read 7E917E91 expecting 81818181

I took out my 1G RAM, and now it works fine with the 256RAM only.



So the Question is:

Is my RAM fried? or is my RAM slot fried?

Try putting some chicken in there, see if it gets cooked.

cool you have the same computer as me

if it works with a diff memory block, i'd say your 1gb is dead, not the slot

Pop the 256 in to see, less you got some diag equipment with a POST code

Best money I ever spent on my laptop was on Dell's 3 year "Shit happens" warranty.

So far, they've replaced my hard drive, cooling fan, LCD and motherboard all for free.

As long as you've got a warranty, Dell customer support isn't terrible, it just can take awhile to get things done sometimes.

I think my warrentee expired lol it was only for a year but its 2 years already


and I gave my 256mb stick to a friend who is far far away now, I guess I need to borrow from someone

ouch that sucks
