We have multiple Lenovo Thinkpad 15-IIL laptops at work. We're currently in the process of upgrading their memory to 16gb from 8gb.
This particular model has one DIMM slot.
On one laptop whenever I swap out to a 16gb memory stick it will not POST. Just a black screen. The back lights on the keyboard light up which is normal but then it hangs at this point and doesn't progress.
I've flashed the bios to the most recent version, reimaged the laptop twice.
The memory stick has been tested in another duplicate device and works fine.
Weird thing is as soon as I put the 8gb stick back in the laptop boots immediately.
Is there anything I'm missing or do I put this down to mobo roulette and just accept it's not going to upgrade? (The warranty is well past).
