Hello.

I have an IBM ThinkPad A20m Type 2628. I just bought a 256MB Samsung PC133 SDRAM SODIMM for it.

With the module installed, the machine powers on and does not initiate the BIOS sequence. No screen output, no error beeps. I've tried installing in either bay and the result is the same.

Could this be caused by an incompatibility? Any suggestions?
 
Very likely. Or, it could be that it isn't seated, but you mentioned that you checked it.
So, it is likely that you have the wrong module -or- let's hope that this isn't the case, but you killed the module and/or the system board via static electricity. Did you discharge yourself from static?
