    I just tried the alternative memory test, it said -
    Write protect error writing drive A - (c) 2001 Nec computers international
    Unable to compute memory size.
    I don't know if I'm capeable enough to check the memory but am willing to try if you can guide me in the right direction.
    Thanks

    Don't know anything about a PB's physical layout, but generally there is a flap on the underside, usually held in place with a couple of microscopic screws (which leap out and vanish in the carpet if you're not careful!).

    Have another check of the PB website - they may have a Service Manual that you can download. Don't forget to disconnect power & battery & guard against static.

    Gotta go out now but someone else will be along to help, I'm sure!
