    Hi everyone,

    Can anyone tell me is it possible to add 4 GB RAM to the other 4 GB already in it? ie does it take two chips? Ive inserted the second one but it's not reading it! So still giving 4 GB and not 8. :confused:

    Or do I have to get an 8 GB on its own...?

    Thanks!

    that laptop has 2 ram slots (spaces) and takes ddr3 sodimm type ram sticks and yes you can have 2 slots filled at once

    if you put in the second stick and it's not being picked up then you may have well have not seated it correctly /firmly in the slot. I'd try it again - maybe search a youtube video showing someone doing it correctly.

    otherwise it could be (unlkely) defective.

    Thank you, I double checked and it needed to be slotted in properly, however its still not picking it up. The system still reads 4 GB. This is what I got:

    I hope I got the right product.....

    Any other ideas other than it might be faulty? I might try to switch the chips, take out the old and see will the new one be picked up. If not I know its definitely faulty. Ill have to do it after work tomorrow night.

    Thanks again.

    EDIT: Curiosity got the better of me. Swapped the chips around and it worked.....very strange but it did. Thanks for the tip earlier!!!
