P pauldmps Skilled Nov 20, 2014 #6 What laptop do you have? Generally, replacing RAM & Hard disk doesn't void warranty.
D deepakvrao Adept Nov 21, 2014 #7 Bought the Lenovo c-260. OPened it and can see only one slot for RAM. The specs say it should have 2 slots. Could one be 'under' the motherboard? It's DDR3 PC3 12800.

Crazy_Eddy Staff member Super Mod Nov 22, 2014 #9 Looks like a typo. The service manual indicates there's only 1 slot (page 30) : http://files.sotmarket.ru/instr/ele...ki/lenovo-ideacentre-c260-19-5-57326456-0.pdf Memory is also limited to a max of 8GB DDR3 which further points to there being only 1 slot.
