Upgrading Ram on Aspire R7

Mysterchr · ‎06-28-2013

I recently bought an R7 from Best Buy with the understanding that I could upgrade the 6gb of ram within it. Unfortuantly when I bought it they failed to mention it only has a single ram slot and I haven't been able to find a single ram stick that goes up to 12gbs. All the 12 gb selections I've found are in multiple slots. I've searched best buy, amazon, tiger direct, and newegg but have yet to find it. So I turn to all of you to see if anyone knows where I can find one?

The Aspire R7 series notebooks have 4 GB of onboard RAM.

For a system with 6 GB of total RAM the replaceable stick is a 2 GB stick of RAM.

If you would like to increase overall RAM to the maximum of 12 GB, you would need to purchase an 8 GB stick of RAM.

Keep in mind that your unit will be denied service should you ever need it as it is no longer in factory original condition.

ScottyC, that statement is incorrect. You will not be denied service for upgrading RAM.

AcerTommy, that statement cannot be incorrect, as I have personally been denied service for having upgraded my ram. As I have also been denied service for upgrading HDD's.

ScottyC, send me the information on that via private message, please.

Not a problem, just have to dig through some paperwork. I'll see if I can find the HDD case as well and I'll contact you as soon as I get a chance.

Looks like this was my mistake, the computer was denied repair due to liquid spill and they happened to mention the ram. The ram itself was not the reason that the unit wasn't repaired, I had just read too quickly to realize. I would have sent you this by private message but I figured that the community should know. Sorry for the confusion Tommy, and thanks for clarifying. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've removed memory modules before sending a unit in for repairs haha, you learn something new every day.
