Try check All the slots are working add the first one to the second slot and see it works. Also check the freq of the ram, they must match ....

The first RAM is soldered.
-
Band width of the pre-existing RAM is declaring false value which prevents the installation of another RAM in the second slot.
Conclusion:
There is no way to add another DIMM to this laptop.

Computers here in Philippines are known to worked till they die. Even they are at the poor state condition, owners especially companies, will make IT department worked to make those PC worked.
In many fields I encounter, minority is women so men usually shocked when they learn their is a woman there (especially in games).
Yeah that's why I gave up in upgrading the laptop after finding that one.

Ah, OK.
Thanks for explaining that. So it all depends on the country.
In France as well as Japan, it is cheaper to replace corporate machines every 4 years or so rather than paying for the maintenance.
At the University of Toronto where I took some molecular biology courses, some old buildings have no women's rest room and I had to go to another building.

Here, it will be cheaper also to buy than to maintain if you compute the overall cost but most people tend to say "we can still use it, just fix this." From simple things to gadget like cellphone and computers, to cars and house. As long as it isn't totally broken, the answer will be just fix it. This is like a cultural habit plus the word kuripot (or tight wad).

I suppose one could say that cultural habbits die hard. lol - When you look at America you see a complete reversal to that philosophy. In America, things are made via the planned obsalescence philosophy. In other words, made to break.
In America we are razed by the philosophy of, when it breaks, throw it out, and buy a new one. This makes the manufacturing companies richer by the year, and helps to keep the low income class poorer. Companies in America will shout, "thats capitalism baby"
You know what I should in response? "Thats extortion baby!" Sorry, but I am going to call it like it is, I don't mince words when I am passionate about something that matters to me. America is known as a very high E-waste generator of a country. Not even everybody takes their old machines to a recycling center, some go to a landfill!
America spends more money on buying computers then any other nation in the world. Sometimes, some people could get away with running on the same computer for another 5-years, but choose not to, cause they want a faster computer.
Buying new computers every 3 to 5 years is not what I consider being economically sound. I am the philosophy of, buy an expensive machine, in an effort to future proof it, so it can last you 10-years. I didn't need 16GB of VRAM at the time I bought this machine, but I know I am going to need it down the road.
And even though the most I've used out of my 32GB of RAM, is about 16GB so far, doesn't mean I won't use more in the future. I didn't want to have to upgrade everything in my computer in the future, much which can't even be upgraded, like the integrated discreet GPU for example.
Yes, I most recently added another 1TB of storage to my system for another distro install in the future, but I would hardly call that an upgrade. Like I said, my planned philosophy, is that I want this computer to last 10-years.
One of the efforts that I am doing to try and make sure the hardware does last that long, is I am running the best cooler pad you can buy for a notebook, and AFMAT cooler. Keeping a computer cool, goes a long way to making the actual hardware last.
I also recently blew the computer out with air from a wall powered air blower. But surprisingly, there wasn't hardly any dust inside it, its because the AFMAT cooler has filtered intakes, so that it pushes clean air into the bottom of the computer. Cool right?
Anyways, have a look at my MSI computer thread if you would like to see all the juicy pictures that makes a computer nerd smile, or their mouth water lol. I am really happy to have you on the forum Rui, your really helping to change the stereotype mindeset.
We need many more females in the tech industry, you get my full support!

A little birdie told me that is where you are from but I didn't want to reveal that as that is up to you .... LOL ... I wanted to explain to others that here people use things until they totally disintegrate and then toss them ... or make them into something else .... Filipinos are extremely resourceful .... it is astonishing to see what they can come up with ....
If the junk man finds electronics in the trash they take them to the repair shops who strips them down and salvage what they can to put into other computers or other devices which people bring them in to repair ... sometimes charging you new prices because who can tell .... some are honest and some not so ...
As far as treating women differently in the tech world I personally feel that it is more based on cultures as some still feel that women are inferior .... and sadly nothing is going to change that ....

Yeah. Just think how I always recycle notebooks to make new notebooks. Hahahahaha. Turn a little container into a holder. Worn out christmas decor, revived by little touch etc. Head set always got repaired its cable to be useful. I like it in some way, though when it was too much then it isn't desirable. hahahaahha

Reducing waste, e-waste and pollution is a good thing. 
Recycling can benefit everyone if done properly.

I like the idea of making tech related Christmas tree ornaments, now thats thinking outside the box. The easiest ones to do of course are optical disks, they are already shinny, and they have a hole in the middle, perfect size, for putting on a tree branch. HEHE
But so many other possibilities, you could take old motherboards or GPU's, that are worthless now, and cut them up, put a hole in them, and hang them on a tree. If someone asks, is that a CPU hanging on the tree, you can say yes it is.
This years Christmas tree, powered by Intel, accelerated by AMD. WOW, and it really lights up too. LED's taken out of computers, powered off of LED light controller, via ATX power supply, rainbow inducing deliciousness.
Santa gonna bring you something nice for Christmas. Well, he better, he owes me for saving his sleigh that broke down last year on top of my roof. He needed a new heat exchange water pump. The steam coming off of it was so great, Rudoff couldn't even see his shinny red nose.
I bought a temperature adjustable soldering iron a while ago and started repair small appliances myself.
I watched some YouTube video to get the tutorials.
The complete soldering kit was close to 100 Euro but After I managed to repair one Waterpic, the soldering iron paid for itself 
It is pity the school do not teach girls how to solder in Japan. It is excursive to boys. When it comes for a mortar coordination, girls are even better than boys at the same age.

And I am super proud of you for getting that soldering kit and fixing that waterpick. I really love it that you are fixing stuff now, you remind me of me. Mechanic, and darn good at it. HEHE. FrenchPress gets 5-stars for fixing her WaterPick.
Girls can do anything guys can, if only given a chance. 
I can find no evidence to support this. Most any peer reviewed journal study shows that Boys and Girls generally are on equal Level with fine and gross motor skills:
I can only find one advanced study that states Girls perform better then boys... Except that it performs no actual tests and relied on teacher Observation reports on whether students bump into things. It is poorly conducted and did little to eliminate Bias. And whether children bump into things is less about motor skills and more about whether or not they care to bother avoiding obstacles. Aggression traits are just as likely to cause boys to be haphazard in navigating their environment.
Girls have better motor skills than boys do.
In the past, similar (and likely biased or poorly conducted) studies claimed boys had better motor skills, which suggests a problem when two studies yield opposite results:
The general current accepted mainstream consensus among Child Psychology and Educators is that there is no statistical difference. (At least in USA... I cannot find anything on that for France or for Japan.)

This one is very interesting as it asserts that while there may be differences in technique that cause male or female subjects to approach a problem differently, they often achieve the same results.
Men's and Women's Brains Are Wired Differently, But What Does It?
This suggests that while men and women may be different... These differences do not demonstrate a lack of ability in either.
I apologize... When it comes to the Sciences I am pretty strict. Just the facts; nothing personal.

I remember quite a while ago, there was this "popular" science, the theory of male brain and female brain. I think that one is completely denied now. One should always watch out for pseudoscience.
Absolutely no need for apology.
Being a professional scientist myself, I know what matters is the fact not a personal opinion.

We seem to have derailed Rui's solved thread to epic proportions, too.
Evidently, your female brain and my male brain are on equal footing on tangent treading.
