I have changed the DIMM's in a computer in order

up, is one long beep followed by two short beeps.
I understand this is a memory error. I have re-
installed the original DIMM's but the error persists.
I have removed the BIOS battery and re-installed,
no good. I tried shorting two points close to
the battery in order to "clear CMOS" also without
success. Is there another reset procedure?

I would clean up all the contacts first.
