    Hi Everyone. I have an issue and I would like you to help me. I own an ASUS N56JR laptop and I'm planning to upgrade from 8GB Memory to 16 GB (The manufacturer specifies this limit). What I did first was only taking out the original memory stick from its slot (let's say it's Slot 1) to check the reference and features. When I put the stick back in Slot 1, the computer didn't turn on. After blaming it on the electrical network, I decided to switch the stick to Slot 2. Then it booted normally. I couldn't just remain with the doubt, and put the stick back in Slot 1. This time the laptop did turn on, but the keyboard back-light and display didn't turn on, so I don't know if it was actually booting. My question is if there is any chance I screwed the slot or something else in my machine, so this is happening now. Thanks for your attention.

      Yes, anything is possible. But you would be better contacting the manufacturer's support team for help. It is quite possible they can help with some remote diagnosis.

        Did you take all the "anti-static" precautions?
