Try this first:

1. Remove battery.
2. Remove AC power.
3. Remove and reseat your RAM modules.
4. Replace your RAM modules.
5. Hold down your power button for 1 minute.
6. Replace your AC power (not battery) and turn on.

This is called a hard reset. If it works COOL, then replace your battery. If not then we will try something else. Good luck.

Please Post back on your progress. It’s nice to know if the forum has helped or not.

how do i reset ram modules?

You need to remove the cover at the base of your laptop where your RAM modules reside. Remove the modules and then put them back in again.

You might get more help if you state the make and model of the computer you are troubleshooting
