Acer One Died after RAM Upgrade.. need advice

[ains]

So I thought I'd throw in an extra 1gb RAM. I had the laptop a few days and it was fine.
Installing the RAM went without a hitch.

However, when I came to turn on my AAO, I get nothing. The battery light is green, the power light is green, but there is nothing on screen.
I've made sure every connection is solid and that I haven't missed anything inside.

I read about flashing the BIOS, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.

Here's what I tried exactly:

1) Format USB drive on my OTHER computer (this one) in WINDOWS to FAT32.
2) Use UNetBootin with the option FreeDOS on my USB drive (in windows).
3) Put the BIOS I downloaded after reading this on the USB drive.
4) Stick USB drive in my Aspire, hold ESC + Fn while turning it on, then pressing the power button ONCE.

Waiting .. zzz.

Nothing seems to happen. I waited half an hour the first time and there was nothing, no reboot etc.
Tried again.. same thing.

Am I doing anything wrong? Have I damaged something?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you

Were you able to get your problem with the power on resolved? I have the same problem (push power button, light on button turns on, and battery ligth too, but thats it). My problem started after rebooting after uninstalling a driver. I had new hardware in but it all had been working just fine.

If you have any adive on how to resolve, please share. Thanks!

As someone who's had this problem with other pc's, remove and inspect your new memory. See if it boots without it, if it does you may have not had it in correctly.
Very common, even desktops do nothing if they ram is in wrong...

true. if memory is seated improperly it will fail to boot and or beep a couple of times.

check to see if everything is seated correctly. also if it is.. it could be bad memory it happens alot.. i would put it through its paces with memtest
