oh cr*p.

is there any way of checking if it IS the RAM that is fried? I can get new SDRAM for £60-70 quid but don't want to spend that much if it isn't the RAM that is faulty...

i took out the RAM and video card and gave them a good clean, esp gold contacts.

booted up, monitor responded, everything appears to be working fine!

Great work Kate!

I haven't seen an issue that required the gold connects cleaned for about 10 years...well done for thinking it

Marked as resolved.
