Took apart an old laptop to reseat a cable, put it back together, tried to turn it on. No dice, screen was blank and the Caps Lock key linked at me three times. So I Google'd why, and found out that three blinks on this laptop means a RAM issue.
I looked over at the two sticks of RAM that were in the computer, still sitting on my desk.
I just literally tried to boot a laptop without RAM.
