Dell Inspiron 2200 Memory upgrade not recognized

[Jacksgirljeanette]

I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 2200 memory from 256 on the mother board to an additional 512 in the memory slot. I bought SODIMM DDR 512 which should be the right memory. Bios doesn't see memory nor does Windows. I am not sure about whether it is seeded in the slot. How can I tell. When I try to spread the latches out holding the memory, it does not pop up. I have to very carefully pull it out.

Hi,

According to Crucial's website your laptop can be upgraded up to 1GB of RAM and what you need is a DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR333 • 2.5V in order for it to work with it.

Here's the link from Crucial for the RAM upgrade of your laptop.
