You didn't tell if you did that.
And... no. You'll have to get another motherboard or find shops like ikenfixit.com or notefix.com that can repair common failures like yours.
Too bad you didn't note the model number. Is the forum tip not showing today?

Hi, my compaq presario laptop stopped booting up recently. I just keeps beeping at me before showing the standard windows screen which offers to start in Safe Mode etc. As beeping generally suggests a h/ware problem I tried running memtest86 and it showed multiple test failures indicating that there is indeed something wrong with my RAM. As it is a laptop I have very little accessibility to the motherboard. All I can access easily is the RAM expansion slot. So what I want to know is:
Can I install a new RAM card in the expansion slot and then make the laptop ignore the existing (faulty) RAM on the motherboard? If this is possible, how do I do it?
Thanks.
