Introduction

If your HP 15-dy2024nr is receiving a memory test failed error or if your laptop is taking much longer to start up, your RAM module may be the cause. Following this guide will help you replace or re-seat the RAM module in your laptop.

When removing any chip or board from your laptop, be careful to touch the sides only. Touching any of the components can damage them. Before removing or replacing any part, be sure the laptop is powered off. If you are unsure, turn the laptop on, then shut it off from the start menu.
