Several questions about my GRT786M

[Pandamator]

Hi everyone!

I have had this my notebook for quite a while now. SOme questions have come up:

1. The notebook doesn´t start up when it has been shut off for a while. When I press the Power On button all that happens is that the front lights for power/batteries go on for a second, then turn off again and you can here a light clicking sound from inside. I usually solve the problem by bringing a heating fan and heating the notebook until it reacts again Is there any better solution to the problem?

2. I want to upgrade my ram from 512 to 1024. Sony doesn´t seem to offer any equipment for the GRT series in their online shop for Germany. That might be a good thing because looking at theprices they charge for a ram module i don´t want to buy it there anyway. But now I just don´t know which ram to choose. different sides recommend different types... Did anyone have the same problem and find a solution to it?

3. THE COOLER IS TOO LOUD, SONY!!!! Well I read that some others have had the same problem and there seems to be nothing I can do to solve it 😞

Well, I hope there will be some answers and I thank those who take the time for answering!!!

oh and another question. they offer pc2700 and pc2100 modules. the 2100 has cl=2.5... which one should i take? they cost almost the same.

Well if your motherboard can only handle 2100 it's not really worth getting 2700 as it's not going to use the full bandwidth
