Thank you for your reply! I tried re-installing the old module but the screen still doesn’t work. I’m not sure what the problem is? But I haven’t killed the computer have I?

advo88,

I followed everything to the letter but now my screen won’t work.

Apparently the memory module is not installed correctly. Try reconnecting it.
Also, there is a chance that your new module is bad, but I cannot tell without testing it.
Try installing the old one back in place and test the laptop again.

advo88,

Hey, do you need to upgrade both with a 1 GB? I only bought one 1GB RAM module. Is that okay or do I need to replace both modules?

Yes, you can replace just one memory module.

Mark,

The screws that hold the cover to the memory slots are really tight. How much pressure downward can I put on this area?

I’m not sure why you are experiencing a problem. Make sure to use the right screwdriver which fits screws tightly.
