I have a Compaq Presario 4550 I try to resurrect for a Single Parent Program as a Donation.
However, it is working fine as long as I don't turn it off. It will not boot anymore unless I
remove or replace the only Memory Stick (48MB) it has. Then it will boot again.
Is there a Cure for that Problem?
Thank you.

If more than one memory slot is available, try a different one. Reseat the memory 4 or 5 times to scrub off any oxidation on the contacts.

There are also sprays you can get from places like Radio Shack that will help clean up the contacts.
