wow thanks guys. I had a look around and found this. Moligh doll DDR3L 8GB Memory 1600MHz 1.35V Sodimm 204PIN Laptop for Ddr3 Motherboard https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089KC2WFP/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_YPS1Eb3844PK3 would this be suitable? does the brand change anything? and does ram deteriorate like a hard drive? ie could I just buy a second hand on ebay and be fine ? seems like it's identical to the ones at 3x the price? thanks.

hi. I'm looking to add ram to my laptop. I've looked everywhere and apparently it is upgradeable however to what I don't really know. it appears to have 2 slots. only 1 is in use. it currently has a single 4gb ram. can I just use any ram chips? does it have to be ddr3L ? can i use ddr4? I did a search found a company and they had everything compatible but completely sold out... and some had hugely varied prices. would I be better to bin it and buy a new one or buy the ram? i mean its 5 years old but runs fine. just can't do anything intense ie gaming. it's a Toshiba Satellite C55-C-175. much thanks. Josh.

Check this guy out. He's hobbiest that makes phones from scratch in china where the possibilities are endless. I'm sure he would be able to obtain the parts needed. In one of his vids he rebuild the lcd display from scratch. Etc... lots of trial and errors. Not a tech know all. But linus if you reach out to him I'm confident he could find the parts.
