|

Do I have to start all over in the setup? I thought I would just change it out and it would reboot. It didnt. I get a uniformly gray screen right after the white line at the bottom counts down to the right.
Or is there something wrong with the memory I bought???

Which memory are you replacing - the ram or the flash? |

I had the same problem, right type of RAM but the TC wouldn't boot. The TC's are finiky with RAM. Do a search of this forum and see what suppliers that other TC users recommend for compatible RAM.
I bought from memory.com and they looked up the RAM I needed in their system. But it wouldn't work. However the Flash memory worked fine. So I have a 512 Flash and 256 RAM machine. |

This source was recommended by someone that had used their memory and the source itself communicated with me by email stating that is was absolutely the right stuff!!! What a crock. Was your problem exactly like mine....booting to the white line along the bottom stepping down that and then going blank??? |

Check the HP web site for the specs for your thin client to learn what is the correct RAM to use. |

I believe this is the correct one since all the numbers/specs are the same for it as are on the 256MB module. Only difference is the size...256 vs 512 But the seller offers a lifetime warranty so its no real big deal. He will work it out and he is in Atlanta just a stones throw from me in TX and my daughter works in Atlanta so I can send her and her goons to break his legs if need be...# |

They can be VERY finicky with RAM ... especially T5710's when going to 1GB RAM (yeah, not in the HP spec, but works). |

The vendor replaced it and the replacement is working fine. |
