toshiba will not boot after adding memory

I have an m35x-s149,it had 256mb in it. I ordered 1gb of memory from ebay.
The mem I bought is: pc2700s 25331 a0
m470l646424dt0 cb3
512 mb ddr pc2700 cl2.5

The original is:pc2700s 25331 a0
m470l3224ft0 cb3
256 mb ddr pc2700 cl2.5

After getting the new (not used) memory I installed it. The laptop will kick the fan for 5 secs and then do nothing but sit with a blue light on the power button.
I have tried to power up with old mem but get the same results.
If I boot with no mem I get 3 3 1 beeps.
I found my book and it said to remove battery before installing mem, which I didn't do.
Am I screwed or is there a way out of this mess?
thanks

Re: toshiba will not boot after adding memory

hold the memory down into the slot as you click it down
