Audio Fixed after Upgrading RAM?


Ouchy

Recommended Posts

This isn't so much a problem more it is just curiosity about why this is happening.

This evening I upgraded my Laptop with an additional GB of RAM, brining it up to 2GB now.

Before the upgrade, the sound would only ever come out of the left speaker, leaving the right mute. However, I noticed that now the right one is in fact working again after I upgraded.

 

Any idea why this happened?

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Most likely:

 

A wire for the speaker was trapped and being pinched some how and in working to add/remove ram you shook it loose again.

Or possible part of the ram configuration was shorting a route used by audio on the mobo slightly as it was a tiny bit loose or w/e and altering ram dealt with the minro installation error there.

 

Bout all I could think of.

I think this is the case as well.

 

Did you move around any wires as you installed it?

A plausible theory, you might want to take it to a specialist to get it checked incase theres a leak, I heard it significantly reduces the current output of the battery which can cause HDD failures and potential loss of data!

I saw no wires near the RAM bay when I opened up my laptop. I don't think it's a leak though.

 

The sound problem came about 4 years ago. Since then I have had the RAM and hard drive upgraded by a specialist.
