Macbook Pro Logic Board Replacement now only shows 3gb of memory

[badcrc32]

I had 4gb of memory showing before my logic board was replaced. I looked last night and noticed that I only have 3gb of memory showing. I have upgraded to snow leapord too, however these are the only 2 changes that occured.

I am thinking the replacment part was a board that is older and not 4gb compatible....Any comments here.

I would bet you are right and the replacement part was older and doesnt support it. I would have them fix that.

Core Duo or Core 2 Duo?

A Core Duo would have a limit of 2GB of RAM and thus wouldn't show 3GB. So the OP most definitely has a Core 2 Duo computer.

OP, what are the specs of your MBP?

what does it say under System Profiler > Memory

does it show both 2gb ram sticks?

I'd say either one of your ram modules went south or the logic board that was added was defective

Either way a call (or a trip) to apple is needed.

Of course you can double check to see if the modules are seated properly and the connections are tight, perhaps one is a tad loose.

Fyi

I will update this tonight with my macbook infront of me. I appreciate all the assistance!

Yeah it could be either they; a) mistakenly put in a different memory module b) the memory module is bad c) the logic board is not reading the memory slot properly.

so ithink you warrant a repair to either fix the board and/or replace the modules.

goodluck
