Hi,

While adding an extra RAM to the module in Aspire V5-472, I forgot to disconnnect the battery first.

I first tried 4 GB RAM compatible, SODIMMM- DDR3L 204-Pin Laptop Memory, Low Voltage. When that didn’t work, I checked again.

Next time I disconnected the battery, and repeated the process with 2 GB RAM, compatible, SODIMMM- DDR3L 204-Pin Laptop Memory, Low Voltage. The RAM was still not discovered. None of the RAMs were detected.

Hope I haven’t fried the RAM Module itself.

Please help.
