PB G5 wont boot after changing dead RAM

[alsaidy]

I have my laptop which is Powerbook G5 version 10.3.9 Panther.

For the last two months the PB didn't boot up and it was beeping three times and white lid blinking.

After going through internet i notice the problem was RAM and i need to change it. I bought another RAM 1GB (the old one was 512MB) and inserted it in the lower RAM slot.

Thank GOD the mac boot up properly and everything was fine. I charged it to full capacity and shut it down.

The next day i started my mac as usual but surprisingly it beeps three times and it didn't boot up again.

I open the RAM cover tried to remove it and replaces it again but it didn't work out and i am totally devastated and i don't know what to do any more.

The brand name of the RAM i used is TRANSCEND. Please help me out of this!!

I'm sure you mean PB G4.

Definitely not always, especially since many 15" powerbook G4s are notorious for bad lower RAM slots. Sounds like it needs a new Main logic board unless the RAM just needs reseated or the extreme possibility you got a bad chip. Or else you are just going to have to run it with RAM in the top slot only.

Many thanks brother i have already try to fix the RAM in the upper slot but i find it very hard to fix it properly like in the lower slot as it doesn't want to enter the slot properly.
