its junk now, the CCFL inside are useless now, too old
never spend cash on any monitor or PC with CCFL back lamps.

with hope and a real future.. yours is no good. sorry. but that is a fact, never throw good money after bad.

yes they should do, the board should be backward compatable, as 2100 266mhz is hard to come by nowadays

SOURCE: can I install 1gb of ram on a compaq evo n610c

Yes, Memory Upgrade for Compaq Evo N610C, the Compaq Evo N610C takes the PC2100 DDR SDRAM SODIMMs to a max of 1gig - and two 512 would be perfect.

The memory modules in a Compaq Evo N610C are not located where you expect them to be.
Here's how to do it.
Open the notebook, and place your fingers on the keyboard as if you were going to type. There is a panel directly beneath your left palm, just below the Ctrl and Alt keys. The panel is hooked into the front of the frame closest to you. Using a thin flathead screwdriver or knife blade, apply a bit of pressure on the panel so that you're pushing it towards the LCD while prying it up. The panel will come right off and you'll have direct access to the memory modules.

You can try updating the bios to use the new memory or you may have to buy a different brand of memory to work in the computer.All memory is not made the same.Some work in one machine and not in another.You won't know till you try it.

Dell latitude wont read 256 megs of ram only 128

The c600 can handle up to 512MB of RAM, so it's likely one of your RAM sticks is bad or not seated correctly. Are you using two 128MB sticks? Remove the stick from the second slot and turn on the computer with only one stick installed, and see if the RAM is recognized. Then take that RAM out and try the computer with only the other RAM stick -- if either is not recognized, that stick is bad.

If both are recognized, try reinstalling both RAM sticks and see if the computer will recognize them. If not, make sure they are both seated properly. You may have a problem with the second RAM slot if it is still not recognized. If you have access to other RAM, try that too and see if it is recognized.

Error message after installing memory ram upgrade.....

The memory appears to be the right kind.

Try installing just one 1GB module, and run the diagnostics (press F12 at boot time and select diagnostics).

Good luck!

2x 512mb sticks

Are you using an older AMD processor? older socket 939 AMD processors had the memory controllers built into the chip and tended to be a bit wonky with RAM. If you have 4 Ram slots check to see if they are different colors and try to insert the RAM into every other slot matching the colors.
