Dell has specific RAM requirements and you will have to look it up. PNY, CORSAIR, and Kingston are good sites to check. You type in your exact model Dell and it will tell you which module to buy. if you know you bought the right one then either the RAM isn't sitting right in the clip or it's bad RAM. Also make sure you are not putting too much RAM in (there are limits per motherboard so check your manual. Even if the manual says it takes up to 8GB RAM, you might not be able to put it all one one stick - you would need two 4GB etc).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The L indicates low voltage. Check the package of the new RAM. if it uses more than 1.35 volts then it likely won't work with your laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You must have matching sticks if running 2 sticks or you must replace in the same slot as the one you pulled old ram from also what is the max ram your computer is designed for?
