MISSING RAM SLOT?

[Vince Josef]

Hello Good day! Please help me I am just a newbie. My task manager says My laptop have a RAM slot #2 and CPU Z also says I have. But when I opened My laptop and checked my motherboard for for the RAM slot it has only 1 ram of course, and i removed it. After i remove the RAM I didn't see any other RAM slot to put my other RAM stick. I don't understand why my task manager and CPU Z says that the laptop has 2 slots of ram but it only has 1. Feel free to check the pictures. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Thank you!

 

Note: When i took a photo of my RAM slot i already remove the 4 GB stick.

What laptop?

 

Often ram is soldered on the board and thats one of the slots.

 

Often also the bios is wrong as those programs are reading from the smbios and the cpu is supporting 2 dimms, it just only has a slot for one dimm.

First - it'd be great if you didn't follow Linus' clickbait title policy

 

Yep, it definitely looks like you've only got one. Maybe the manufacturer made a chip that supports 2 sticks, but for your model they only actually stuck one slot onto the motherboard.

What click bait policy? I'm sorry i don't want to click bait i just put "Missing RAM slot" In the title because i don't know if i have 2 or only 1 RAM slot thats why I'm asking. But now it seems I've got my answer thanks for your replies!

Often one dimm is soldered and one is in a dimm slot. Does it boot with no dimms? did you check on the otherside of the board?

I didn't check on the other side of the board, I haven't tried booting up the machine without DIMMS.

Either the other slot is on the back side of the board, or the laptop has a bunch of memory soldered directly to the board and only one slot is physically present.

Don't want to sound too annoyed or something, but the all caps combined with the question mark kinda did it for me.

Googled ACER ASPIRE ONE Z1402 RAM and clicked first result.

But if it has memory soldered directly to the board then why my ram is only 4GB? The stick i use is 4GB if i remov

Some laptops have soldered ram, but yours does not.
