After searching the internet I found ours. After reading all of the complaints and problems with the Gateway LT2104 I knew I was in trouble. I purchased the netbook and finally getting around to upgrading from the 1gb to the 2gb memory card. Went to Fry's and they suggested the Patriot 2 gb DDR2 PC5300 667 which I purchased. Took it home (I have changed memory cards before) and proceeded to change out the card. When I turned on the computer all I had was a black screen. Did'nt understand. Proceeded to go through the removal of the just purchased Patriot memory card and reinstall the memory card hat came with the netbook. Thought maybe it was a bad memory card I purchased. Anyway, after reinserting the original memory card back into the computer and closing up I turned on the computer. Again I have a black screen? I am so baffled at this momen as I now don't know what has happened? Now the original card won't work either?
After searching the internet and finding your site I did find some answers to the black screen and the problems finding the right memory card but still a little confused on which one I am suppose to get or use. Looks like a couple of ansers have found the solution but cannot for th life of me figure it out. States to go up to the 800 and that should work, not sure which brand to gt Kingston? Or Best Buy brand?
Also why do I still have a black screen with the original card installed back in. Any hlp on these issues would be greatly appreciated as now I cannot even use the netbook can't see anything! How to correct the black screen with original loaded 1 gb memory card and which new 2 gb memory card to buy. I am at a loss here, I am not a computer expert by any means I know how to change som things out but this problem is driving me crazy..Really would like to see a start up or something on the screen at this point. Once that is solved unless something happened, would like to still upgrade to 2gb. Went to th gateway site for the suggested retailers they say to use, however, no one even mentioned ny of those companies and can I trut them if this memory problem is going through the world of Gateway netbooks. They may have the wrong memory card also?
Sorry this is so long I am just a wits ends already. Thanks to All who can help me....Please and any suggestions as to which memory 2gb card to purchase would be helpful as I am not sure which one it is now
