Missing ram slot

The computer i have wont start up period.(blank screen)I have tested the ram,vidio card,and processor and they all work.So i think the motherboard is dead. Then i looked at many pictures of the board and in every picture there are 3 ram slots. In my computer there are only 2.But i can see where there used to be a slot.Can the missing slot be the problem? thanks!

I dont think so as it would have never booted before, it is probably a generic manual refering to other motherboards as well. You could be right, either the motherboard cmos chip is faulty if your fan turns and drives flash, or a faulty processor if nothing comes on at all, assuming you know that the power supply is ok.

Blank screen

Check keyboard for 'F' keys which relate to screen Functions. Look for brightness UP or DOWN keys and if nothing else works hold down POWER button until it shuts down. Then push button and allow it to start up again. It will run through self-diagnostic testing and will ask if you want to run computer in Safe or Other Modes-pick Normal Mode.
Very often this will fix the problem.

Can't get my monitor to stop beeping

if 1 beep its - video card
if 2 to 3 beeps - RAM
if it beeps continuously - it the processor

REMEDY / SOLUTION :
1. (VIDEO CARD)- remove the video card clean it up... you can use eraser...make sure to remove the dust/lint .....

2. (RAM)- If the problem is the ram ... its the same.. remove the ram clean it..the same as you clean the video card...but if you put back the ram to the slot...make it sure to lock it up and tighten up..just monitor it that its not loosen...

3. (PROCESSOR) - remove the processor ... clean the white one I mean the paste
(thermal paste) then if you don't have that paste try to ask the hardware im sure they have one and grab it... don't leave the processor if it is not attach in the slot make sure to have that paste first it has time limit in exposing the processor it may cause a problem if the processor wont put back int the slot.. <the main solution is change the thermal paste then lock it up tightly.. the most important thing is just...lock it up so tight..>

that all...

this is only my suggestions ....

i hope it helps.... Computer beeps when turn it on Solved Closed

MSI WIND U100 won't start....

thats a lil odd seems as if the motherboard is trying to determine what speed of ram you have but after about five mins or more if it doesnt do anything try reseating the ram cards if after five mins again try using just one ram card in one slot if it turns on fully turn it off and move the same working ram card to the next slot if any slot fails then that ram slot is dead if you have more then one ram card test it using the same method if the ram card does not work then that ram card is bad

There are two slots, one for a pcmcia card and one for a CF memory card. Your video is on-board (built in), you my need to reinstall the operating system (with the 3 restore disks). if you do not have them I can supply them for $20.00.
Before you do this I would recommend that you use a USB floppy to see if it displays in DOS to make sure your video is not dead.

Reseat the video card as you have slightly distorted the mobo pressing the ram sticks in and dislodged the vid card.

Gateway gt4010 blue light does not come on the fan run no vidio

Hi

Please check the cable running between the monitor and processor unit. Also check whether the processor's inside fan is working or its just the cooling fan which is working. Also check whether the RAM is firmly fixed in the slots.

Please accept the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee
