Joseph,

I tried this 10-15 times on my memory chip in the memory bank under my Dell D610 Latutude laptop. However, it did not work.

Probably this is the memory slot failure.

Hi, I tried this 10-15 times on my memory chip in the memory bank under my Dell D610 Latutude laptop. However, it did not work. Do you have any other possible solutions on why it is not recognizing memory? I already have 1 GB in the memory bank under the keyboard which is working fine. HELP !!! Thank you

@ arvind,

battery shows charging for few sesonds but not charge in compaq presario cp700

Is it still working when connected to the AC adapter?
This could be bad battery or motherboard problem. You cannot tell without testing the laptop with another working battery.

This trick worked for me on an old dell dimension 8500 laptop.
Would only recognize one memory slot before and both work.
I play guitar and used Fender mediums if that makes any difference.
