It's hard to tell what's wrong...usually when I get a problem like this I just start swapping the parts with known working ones till I find what's wrong. If it's the ram then that's really easy: It most likely takes 72-pin simms which are really easy to get. I think 128mb of them costs like $10. I have about 32 mb worth sitting on my desk here and about another 48 or maybe even 64 in my cabinate.
