out of the four slots,only the first one works,i read online some where,that sometimes when systems are first shipped that some banks might be disabled by the make,dont know if this makes any sence or how much truth there is in it

according to the specs of your model it will take up to 4GB ram ... so unless there is a problem it should recognise the full 2GB .... I read that you have 4 dimms ... try the ram in slot 1 and slot 3 instead of 1 and 2 ... try the 512 that you took out (cause you know that it works) in each of your 4 slots ...if you find a slot that doesn't work ... then thats your problem and don't use that slot ... Good Luck

Maybe your ram device isn't desinged to work with the ram you have on you system.
