Thanks for the tip but I tried all different combinationa of new and old ram and just new and old ram.
Only the old ram with nothing in slot 2 boots the laptop.
The other combinations make the laptop start with a flashing light and it just shuts down again (doesn't boot bios).

Maybe there are small differences between both rams that go beyond the ddr1 333 mhz pc2700 200 pin specs?

Btw my new ram is 1 Gb,my old one 512 Mb but the specs of the laptop say max ram is 2 Gb (2 x 1Gb).
