I have been trying to use 3rd party 4 MB memory boards with a Hewlett-Packard Laserjet IIP printer. The board will work fine for awhile, but eventually I will get "Error 53" at power up, which says the board is bad. I can pull out the board, reinsert it, and power up with no error reproducably. 1 Is there a device to test the integrity of the DRAM chips on the expansion board? 2 Is there any way that the printer could be "stressing" or charging a portion of the memory board, leading the the error condition? HP says this is impossible. 3 Does anyone know of 3rd party boards which will accept 256 KB 9 chip SIMMS to use as printer expansion memory? There must be a ton of these lying around from people who have upgraded PC's to larger capacity SIMMS. Help! I am on my 3rd replacement board and can't figure this out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean P.
