I have two identical HP Laptops, both HP Pavilion Entertainment PC dv9700. One works and one is cratered; I brought the dead one home for parts, of course.
I checked the RAM in the working one and there are two sticks, 1 GB each, while the dead one had two sticks of 2 GB each, so I changed them out.
The working computer booted just fine, however when I checked the RAM, it shows only 3GB installed.
Is there anything I can check to see why this is?
