Hi guys,

I upgraded my 1.6 core duo mac mini to 2gb ram yesterday and had no particular problems. But I now have no video signal - nothing going to the monitor, it justs stays on standby.

Does anyone know what it could be? Does the mini do this if it has a problem (e.g. with the new ram)? The mac switches on fine, HDD and cd drive power up, but no picture.

I would really appreciate any help you can give me, I'm really worried! I'd rather not take it into the shop to get it fixed as I know they'll charge the earth.
 
Hi mate,

Thanks for the reply! Not yet, but I'm going to try that tomorrow. I didn't really want to take the case off again but it's got to be done!

No such noises; no startup single beep either though - just HDD, cpu fan and cd drive booting up.

Do you think it's likely the new ram is bad? Or more likely the gpu is fried?
 
Hi mate,

It's working! I re-seated the ram, and checked everything carefully, gave it a clean etc. It's racing along now, 4x as much memory as beofre :D

Thanks for your help :)
