After cleaning, applying TIM, mounting the new HW and reconnecting everything(or so I thought) I booted up the PC but was confronted with a LED code of 88. Like a dumbass I had forgotten to put the memory back in, but even after I did put the memory back in I still have an 88 code. I even went as far as to pull out the cmos battery overnight but nada.

So my question(s), what could I have possibly screwed up?

- corrupt bios?
- killed the NB?
- something else???

I appreciate any help/suggestions!

take out battery for a while
just needs a reset
if it didnt work take v-card cpu out too
