Summary: Try re-seating the socketed chips


Regardinging the sparkling screen that you encountered after you installed
your ram upgrade, it has been my experience that if these are caused by the
socketed chips becoming loose.  I have a procedure that I go through
whenever I open my 520ST (which is very regularly, ask anyone around
here ;-)): ALWAYS RE-SEAT all of the socketed chips, regardless.  You
don't need to remove them to do this, simply press them firmly into
the sockets.  I think that this should solve your problem.  If not, you
can always resort to the cheap keyboard fix (raise from edge of keyboard
about 2-3 inches off of the table, then drop - its amazing how often
this will fix those nasty socket problems).
