Help! Macbook won't take 4GB upgrade!

[dodge2112]

I have a 2.2 GHz Macbook (I believe that makes it a "Santa Rosa") and tried to upgrade the memory to 4GB, however the macbook will not boot at all with 4GB in it. If I take out either one of the 2GB (I tried both configurations) modules and run the original 1GB with it, I'm fine and everthing shows that I'm running 4GB. But if I put them both in there, I get nothing. I bought the memory from Crucial (Micron). I'd greatly appreciate any help... Thanks!

My guess would be that either your not getting it in all the way or that one of the RAM cards is damaged. Did you try running it with only one in and then try running it with only the other one?

Yes, I tried all the various configurations and also made sure that everything was seated correctly. From what I'm reading on some of the other threads, several people have run into this with the black Macbooks and Crucial's 4GB memory upgrade. Thank you for your kind assistance though.

Yea that guy is having the same exact problem. He's getting some new sticks sent to him tomorrow so maybe keep an eye on his thread for an update.
