Lenovo G560 2nd RAM slot does not recognize.

Hello.

I bought 2 new of the straight plug of this computer - 1066 mhz 4 GB of Ram.

After the installation of the 2 jacks, the computer recognizes only 1 card of 4 GB.

I have the x 64 bit system.

Also, I updated the BIOS.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tal_Eklkanar,

Welcome to the community,

Try restarting the machine with only the ram that is not recognized at the time.

RAM can be tricky so try to play with different configurations, a place in the first slot and then swap until you see the machine recognizes them both. Sometimes, it just takes a little game.

  • Pavilion g6-2333el: g6-2333 el Pavilion RAM slot does not

    Hi, I recently decided to update RAM of my Paviliion g6-2333el by adding a second 4 GB of RAM.

    I inserted the new RAM in the RAM secondary housing, but the PC seemed unable to find. Fearing that I might you bought a RAM that was not compatible with my laptop, I tried to delete the original RAM and put another in his place: the new RAM has been correctly identified.

    Seeing that the new RAM was indeed compatible, I tried to insert the old one in secondary housing, and the result was the same: the RAM was not considered by the PC.

    I noticed the following about this secondary property of RAM:

    (1) the RAM seems to be inserted less deeply than in the other slot

    (2) the RAM is very easily put out of position when he is in this niche (as in, just a little touch will make it fall out of the connector)

    (3) in contrast with the other location, when the metal arms that hold the RAM in place are released RAM no "eject" on its own

    Someone has an idea what could be the problem? The connector is broken or it's just that for some reason any RAM can't stay in place?

    Try blowing the slot with compressed air. Insert the module at a 45 degree angle and don't hesitate to push a little once you are sure that the notch is aligned with the tab into the slot...

    Here a link to Ralink is where you will find all the Ralink drivers.

  • HP EliteBook 8740w p/n VB744AV: Base model with only 2 RAM slots does not level up to 8 GB of RAM, 6 GB only?

    So I discovered that my laptop is a version of the basic model of the Elitebook 8740w so I'm missing 2 RAM slots. However, I went to upgrade my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB the other day, and after ensuring all the RAM was split and firmly fixed my laptop would only flicker the lights indicating that my ports were dirty, RAM was split in correctly or I ordered the bad RAM sticks (which I didn't, I double checked). So I have of the 4 GB split into the slot of the RAM under the keyboard and replace one of the original 2 GB sticks in the other RAM more accessible location at the bottom of the computer. Laptop started fine. I'll try the RAM slot again later tonight when I get home from work, but if anyone has any experience with this issue, I'd love to hear corrections or explanations on what I can do wrong.

    I also want to note that I checked the specifications of the computer and it says that it should support the 8 GB of RAM or more. However I do not know if this is a generalization of the product since it usually comes with 4 vs slots of RAM upgrade only the 2 I have in my laptop.

    Quad Core versions have 4 RAM slots and Dual Core 2 slots. Max 32 gig and 16 gig respectively. Try the reslotting and let us know how it goes. 8 concerts must be OK, assuming that compatible. If the problem persists, please provide the manufacturer for both modules reference numbers.

I installed on my Roxio Drag-to-Dsc computer. Let me emphasize that my DVD player had performed flawlessly with Roxio installed from the beginning. This problem came only recently. Is it possible to disable Roxio without uninstalling the computer?

    Hi Richard,

    You can check if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Run the next Fixit tool to check the issue.

    Your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Uninstall and reinstall the Device Manager DVD player. Automatically search for updates to the firmware on the manufacturer's Web site.

    a. click the Start button and then right click on my computer. Click on properties.

    b. click on the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.

    c. now, expand the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click with the right button on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive and click on uninstall.

    d. restart the computer.

    Step 2: Log on to the DVD drive manufacturer's website and install the latest updates from driver\firmware.

    I don't think that there is a way to just disable Roxio. For more help, you can contact Roxio support.

  • PC card slot does not have 32-bit cardbus PC card

    Hey,.

    My pc card slot does not recognize my pc card. It is a 32 - bit cardbus pc card card and the card slot supports 32-bit cards, so it must work! I downloaded the new drivers, but it still does not work. Anyone know what to do now?

    Thank you very much

    Symen

    I think it would be very interesting to know what laptop you have exactly and if PC card really supports the 32-bit cards?  :|

    Anyway. some BIOS on different laptops offer option and unique settings for the PC card slot. Have you checked the BIOS?

  • Tecra 8200 does not recognize the RAM in Slot B

    Since a few days my Tecra does not recognize the RAM Module in Slot B. Before everything was fine. I have 2x256MB Modules. I was wondering why my Tecra becomes slower, the last days, and then I saw that I have now only 256 MB of RAM. I have change the slot Modules A to B. I checked also the two modules of RAM with MEMCheck. Both are ok! Just at the moment where I put a RAM for Slot B and none in slot A my Tecra won't start! If I insert the two module my Tecra boots but with just 256 MB of RAM.

    Is there another solution then buying a new laptop? Is my Mainbord damaged?

    I was so contently with my Tecra ;-) so far

    The slot B is probably defective. Only solution for me is to buy compatible 512 MB module and use it in A slot. According to specification for laptop, your device can handle with max 512 MB of RAM.

  • Satellite L30-105 does not recognize the 1 GB of additional RAM

    Hi there I hope someone can help me

    I have a Satellite L30-105 PSL33E, which came with 1 GB of ram installed (2 x 512 MB made by TeamViewer)
    and it's terribly slow with vista, not to mention programs.
    The toshiba website says max RAM is 2 GB, so I bought a Kingston 1 GB ram chip to increase the ram to 1.5 GB. I thought should try before moving to 2 GB

    However after installing memory vivid it's show still only 1 GB in windows and in the bios (894 + the rest for video). It has the latest available BIOS on the site 3.10, yet still does not recognize the chip.

    The chip is installed in the lower slot, including the original 512 at the top (closest to the keyboard)

    Are limited to only some of the Satellite of RAM?
    The old subjects indicate if kingston does not work try corsair.
    Other topics suggested to change slots
    Others suggest that it may have only two of the same ram chips in IE 2 x 512 or 2 x 1 GB, you may not have 1 of each

    Can anyone help? everyone knows about similar problems?

    I will not buy any more RAM to try different brands for the same issue to occur

    Hello

    The L30-105 is able to manage the 1024Mo modules in each location it should be able to update the RAM up to 2 GB.

    > Why the RAM 1 GB module cannot be recognized?
    Perhaps the two modules are not compatible with each other
    I would recommend using two identical modules of the same manufacturing
    I use Kingston modules, they are ok for me

  • Satellite L30-113 does not recognize the two modules DIMM RAM

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L30 113.
    It has 512 MB of RAM and therefore struggled to run Windows Vista, so I bought another 1 GB of RAM.
    It's DDR2 553 MHZ (PC4200.

    The problem I have is that the laptop does not recognize both DIMMs, i.e. the old 512 MB and the new 1 GB when they are in the whole PC. I tried the two DIMM individually in both slots and there is no problem, but when I install both the system sees just 1 GB. I tried the DIMMs around two ways but without success.

    Did I miss something?
    They should be the same size as in the bad old days?
    What is going on?

    Thank you

    Adam

    > I tried the two DIMM individually in both slots and there is no problem, but when I install both the system sees just 1 GB
    Seems that the two RAM modules are not completely compatible...
    I've read several times on these issues and to be honest it s are not uncommon

    I advise you to buy two identical RAM modules ad then to try again

    I'm afraid there is no other solution for your problem of m.

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S does not recognize movie DVD on Satellite Pro A100

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A100-PSAAPE.

    Initially the played DVD movies very well, but now it does not recognize DVD movie at all.

    The drive itself is recognized and works very well with recovery DVD and CD-ROM.

    Phone support: they had me reinstall the driver and boot from the recovery DVD. This does not solve the problem. They then said to do a system restore. Tried, but it seems that the previous restorations of system are in themselves unsuccessful and the restoration of the system that has worked has not solved the problem.

    MediaPlayer and Intervideo WinDVD seem to work well, but do not find the DVD in the drive.

    They advise now reinstall me to factory setting, but don't want to build the laptop up to scratch etc, so I'm hoping that there may always be a solution.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you

    Best wishes

    Hello

    You understand that you must specify if it is a hardware or software problem.
    Unfortunately, you can find this secret only using recovery DVD (CD).
    Toshiba recovery installation will define the laptop back to the factory settings. In this case you may find whether or not the CD/DVD device is defective.

    If the player will not play the DVD after the reinstallation of the operating system, then chances are that it is a CD/DVD drive error.

  • Why my mac does not recognize my hard drive or SD cards?

    I got a new Macbook Air last month. Since I had so much problems with it - mostly because if you plug in anything whatever in the SD card slot or USB drives, it does not recognize them. I own a mac before, as well as PC laptop dell, so I am aware of the problems when formatting the discs everywhere, but even when I plugged a new passport hard drive, the computer couldn't find. Similarly, you may not find all the SD cards when I tried to use the SD card.

    What is going with this? I am a photographer living, so I need constant access to these two. This new model has some new method for transfer of files from the external hard drive etc.?

    Close, then connect the mac to a power adapter, disconnect all external devices.

    reset the SMC

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    reset all external then pulls even deleted

    Once you open a session reconnect the external hard drive

    If the drive is connected with a hub of party 3rd do not use it and connect the drive directly to the mac

    Connect the external hard drive and open Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility disk utility

    The drive appears in the list of external devices?
