2100 mem is the lowest spec ddr ram so most mb's will take them you could try the stick in another pc though do not mix them with other specs

Tried it in a Evo 310 and it worked fine.

you should be able to see the pins that grab the battery - i just short all of them if not sure

the clips are the (pins) they need to beshorted. there is jumper on the mb that may be close to the battery with3 pins & 2 of them conected. you move the conector over so it conects the other pin & wait 10secs ( with the battery removed0. If the battery has been removed for more than 30 mins it has probably reset anyway. you willknow as the date and time will reset to original manufacture

oh yeah, be sure to put the conector back to the original pin

Hi m8

Tried this but still the same. Next step I guess is to try some different memory and failing that I will try and get a new motherboard.

I know it's a socket 478 board so any idea where the best place is to get RAM / MOBO's?

I've seen this one on ebay - mate says it would be compatible - is this true?
