Were you able to update the BIOS or was the chip being bad make it a wash, had to abandon it?
Thankfully, I've checked the memory in other systems and they work just fine after being in this one, so something is just preventing it from using whatever DDR3L has and identifies over DDR3.
Let me add a little more detail. The power light comes on and I hear the fan but the unit doesn't boot with these chips:
Micron 4GB 1RX8 MT8KTF51264HZ-1G6E1 PC3L-12800S-11-11-B2
Micron 8GB 2RX8 MT16KTF1G64HZ-1G6E1 PC3L-12800S-11-11-FP
Kingston 4GB 1Rx8 HP687515-H66-MCN PC3L-12800S-11-13-B3
This is the only chip that works so far. Even similar DDR3 chips do not:
Kingston 2GB KTL-TP1066/2G BSME16A0991 1.5V
Maybe someone can see a pattern among the ones that don't work that I'm not. They work in a test laptop I have off to the side. I've not stuck the DDR3 in the laptop because, naturally, it doesn't belong in there and the laptop isn't mine to destroy.
tankingwrong got a reaction from Gegger in Can a board that's only supposed to take DDR3L RAM have something happen to it to where only DDR3 will work?
