I actually am running with both slots slots and am at 12 GB. The dark blue slot holds an 8 GB Corsair DDR4 @2400 MHz and the aquamarine holds the original OEM 4 GB RAM.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the maximum capacity is 32GB (2 16gb sticks). I replaced the 4gb stick with 2 8GB DDR4 2400 288 pin sticks which instantly gave me a vast improvement to performance when using my audio/video production applications.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Funny thing I learned about this recently. I also tried to install two Corsair RAM cards after taking both out, and it started up to nothing. I got it to work with one upgrade and one original. I went back again after starting it up, running it, accessing the internet and running a few programs and apps, and then I shut it down again and pulled the original card that was still in there and put the second Corsair back in there and tried again. This time it worked with both new cards. I suspect that the new cards are "blank" and need some kind of reference to sync with the system. Therefore, you have to install one with the original card already in there, boot it up so that it logs it in the system BIOS, and then once it has recognized and registered the system, you can pull the original and upgrade the second one. It should work fine after that. That was my experience anyway. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We tried removing the OEM 4GB memory stick and inserting two Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 8GB 2400MHz memory sticks into the two slots, but the computer did nothing when we turned it on. So we removed one of the Corsair sticks, re-inserted the OEM 4GB memory stick into the green slot, and left one Corsair 8GB memory stick in the dark blue slot. Bam, it worked. The computer definitely runs faster now. (Thank you NHUser for your answer, we followed your lead.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I too had the same issues. I tried to install the PNY 8GB DDR4 2666 PC4-21300 in both slots and I got nothing. I removed all RAM, reinstalled original to make sure it worked and then started doing a bunch of different combinations. At the end of the day, I was able to get one 8GB Stick in the Dark Blue Slot and the original 4GB in the Green Slot. I haven't tried it yet to see if it runs faster, but I can't imagine it wouldn't. Even though this computer says you can upgrade to 16GB, I don't believe that it has ever been tested and therefore, as per many reviews I've read I am coming to the conclusion that it can't. I am happy I was able to get at least 12GB of Ram to work as this is my daughters computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.After spending hours trying to resolve this problem I finally fixed it!!!! I could not for the life of me figure out why the two 8Gb ram sticks wouldn't work. But if youre having issues simply remove the cmos battery completely install the new ram sticks and then reinsert the cmos battery after completely seating the new ram. Boot up your Lenovo and it should work just fine. removing the comos refreshes the bios so that it can register the new ram. I hope this helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I tried the Corsair Vengeance Ram (16G) and got a blank screen. I tried different combos with Corsair and the original Samsung 4G Sim. I could only get a screen display with the Samsung 4G only. I then ordered and installed two Samsung 8G Sims and it worked great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wish to confirm this. I currently own one of these and can verify there are indeed two memory slots for ddr4. One slot colored dark blue the other an aquamarine. From the answer given it sounds as if there is only one slot and that the slot can only handle 8gb. Where as if I'm correct and you can match the samsung 4gb 1rx16 pc4-2400T DDR4 chip you should be able to run dual channel at 8gb or 16gb if you replace the current ram with two 8s. However, the person that previously answered is a Lenovo expert. So perhaps I don't know what that second channel is for and it may even truly be capped at 8gb which I find hard to believe but the specs on the online sheet do seem to reflect that. If someone would be so kind as to actually check rather than reading information off the product card online. Thank you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just purchased this model and am not able to find any specs to this motherboard model# FT4STMS. The 2 slots mentioned are clearly indicated on the motherboard as Dimm 1 (aqua-greenish) and Dimm 2 (blue). I have built and upgarded several laptop and PCs in the last 20yrs and these slots are for RAM. However, these slots cannot be used at the same time. Only one slot can be used for one DDR4 8gb stick of Ram which is about $100 right now. If both of these slots were of the same color then you would be able to use both slots a dual channel. Hope this helps.
