I recently discovered, much to my continuing annoyance so far, regarding every little thing going screwy with my project involving the Thin Client...

that the 1.2 GHz version of the T5710 has two different CPU chips available.

One seems to work with a 1GB RAM Module - uses the TM8800 processor
(not speaking of the FlashDOM here, just the RAM)

and the other "flavor" is the TM8600 processor, and causes the usage of the 1GB RAM Module to make vertical lines and moving dots all over the screen, not showing any text or graphics in any screen POST or DOS or OS

you can notice the screen change from the blinking of the vertical lines and dots, but no graphics.

so ... what's the point of this thread?

if you tried , or will try, the 1GB RAM Module, see if you first have the correct processor to have a chance to work with it.

Look into your BIOS / system information to see the processor type

if it's the TM8600 ... chances are you'll have this problem
if it's the TM8800 ... chances are it WILL WORK.

I'd be interested to know, of all the T5710 units out there, please take the
poll on which processor you have on your T5710

My original T5710 1.2GHz unit had a TM8800
When HP sent me the board replacement fix for my BIOS fault,
they sent me one with a TM8600 Mad

making the 1GB RAM not work

Hadn't known of this issue until after I had mine in my hands... t5710 w/8600

But it is working fine with the 512, so I guess I don't really care. Cool

Sorry I'm late to the party but I have a TM8600 and it's working fine with 1GB of RAM.

For the benefit of everybody I'm replying ot a private message here.

I'm using a Mushkin PC2700 SODIMM in my T5710 with the TM8600.

Hope this helps.

I got mine on eBay. It's the exact same one that ret27m posted the link for.

As far as the RAM/MEMORY is concerned mine would NOT work with transcend ram/memory but it did work with mushkin ram/memory...not to be confused with a 1gb transcend flash drive.
