Thanks guy's, Yes, battery and ac adapter were removed but I did not know about the power drain, I am still covered under warranty but will they repair it ''under warranty'' or will they suspect something and charge for it? I will put back the original memory and send it back to Dell, any of you have experience with Dell support, is it smooth? Thanks again guy's and yes, I learned my lesson big time.

Hello guys,</SPAN></SPAN> This is a sad panda here, something bad happen, I think, during a memory upgrade that I made on my M17x R3, I was careful but while taking off a screw it slipped and fell on a board near the edge where my fingers could not reach, I used a little tweezer to reach it (yes I touched the metal interior of the back that I took off before, and…oh the horrors…I saw a tiny little spark : / </SPAN></SPAN> I went on, depress as I was, and finish the job, restart the laptop, memory was detected and everything seemed fine, then I lost my wireless connection, wireless adapter had an exclamation point in manager, then the laptop hanged, nothing I could do but a hard reset, restart and everything happened again… /cry</SPAN> </SPAN> I will put back the original memory when I am able to approach the laptop without crying, that being said, did that little spark messed up the laptop that bad or could it be that one memory stick is defective!? </SPAN></SPAN> Any help, tips and comments are welcome. </SPAN></SPAN> Thank you </SPAN> </SPAN>Signed: panda at the brink of a nervous breakdown </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
