Memory upgrade Inspiron 1520 laptop
I originally had a 1GB memory stick installed in my laptop. I purchased 2 2GB sticks from Dell.When I replaced the original everything booted up just fine, then when I installed the other 2GB stick my laptop would not boot up. The indicator on the keyboard for capital letters flashed for about 30 seconds then nothing. Has anyone else experieced ths?

You should try reseating both modules. Read the service manual about installing memory.
This is from your service manual:
NOTICE: If your computer has only one memory module, install the memory module in the connector labeled "DIMMA."
NOTICE: If you need to install memory modules in two connectors, install a memory module in the connector labeled "DIMMA" before you install a module in the connector labeled "DIMMB."
NOTE: If the memory module is not installed properly, the computer may not boot. No error message indicates this failure.

Yep..reseat the new RAM and try again. Also check that the new RAM is compatible.
