Solved! Trouble adding RAM to Asus laptop

[shadowwolf9]

I just bought the ASUS G53SW-XN1 from Newegg.com.

It comes with 6gb of DDR3 ram so I purchased 2x 4gb sticks of G.Skill RAM. I know the laptop has 2 open slots for more RAM, but I've only been able to find one underneath the keyboard. When I add the stick of RAM and turn on the laptop to check if it has been added the screen doesn't turn on and the keyboard doesn't light up. However, when I take it out the laptop returns to normal.


Am I doing something wrong? Anyone know where the other slot is? Here are the links to the RAM and laptop I purchased. Hopefully the latency of the ram isn't screwing it up or something.

Yeah, but I went from an 8gb upgrade to a 2gb one. Not that I really even need that much, but still haha
