The PowerBook G4 (15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz) Memory Slot Repair Extension Program is a worldwide program covering repair or replacement of the memory slot in PowerBook G4 models manufactured between January 2005 and April 2005 (2005-01 through 2005-04) that are experiencing specific component failures. If your PowerBook G4 has a serial number within the eligible range and is experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, it may be eligible for repair, free of charge. Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) will determine eligibility under the program. Repairs will be covered by Apple for up to two years from the original date of purchase even if your computer is out of warranty.
Affected systems will exhibit one of the following symptoms:
• The computer does not start up; instead, there are three short beeps (typically) followed by the the sleep LED flashing periodically.
• When both SO-DIMM memory slots are filled (populated), only one slot’s memory is recognized.
• System performance may be degraded because the memory in only one slot is not recognized.
Important: These symptoms may only occur intermittently.
