Asus N61VN-JX077V RAM

[Eonik]

Hello. I recently bought a used laptop [Asus N61VN-JX077V] because i needed one when im not home.

The laptop came with 4GB RAM, and i asked the seller if i could add at least 6GB and he told me yes, and i could even add 8GB.

Today i removed one of the memories [The laptop has 2 memories 2gb each and 2 slots] , and went to the computer store and told them that i wanted a 4GB RAM that is compatible with that one that i have. They gave me one [Kingston 4GB DDR3] and told me that if it does not work to bring them the ram.

I tried different possitions, and when i insert that ram the laptop turns on but the screen remains black, and when i insert my old one it works.

I also tried something that my friend told me to do, it was turn the computer on, and insert the ram really quick, i did that but when i go to the System it shows 2GB and on CPU-Z shows 6GB.

One more problem is, when i insert just that memory that i bought, the computer also turns on, but not the screen. I

It's a RAM. Or computer problem?

Thanks.

Hi,

According to the Technical Specification of your laptop, it can only be upgraded up to 4GB.

And the problem can also be related to the RAM since they might have sold you a non compatible RAM.

Here are the list of the compatible RAM's for your laptop.

Ohh... Even the guy at the store told me that it would work :\ Already went to the store and they refunded me.

Thank you for your reply!
