Thks mate. I think even if I install a 3200mhz 16gb RAM,it will only run at 2400mhz because my remaining soldered 4GB is 2400mhz only

That one ish the motherboard limitation......
More ram ish good at the end of day....
16gb + 4gb means if you want keep tabs open and play games you can do it now.....

I open one game (10gb ram) plus multiple google tabs is already 14gb :s22: you have space for 6 more :s13: .

Get the sfd 832 crucial 16gb one.....

That one is dual ranked ram.... Do not get the fra 16gb one... That one is slower ram.

You gave this link https://www.lazada.sg/products/cruc...ist.34.7ed461beeq7NR3&search=1&freeshipping=1

OK right?

What I meant was if I get 16gb,shoud I just get a 2400mhz instead of 3200?
The price difference for 3200 and 2400 is quite marginal......

If want the best performance, go for 16gb 2400mhz, note that 12 gb will run in single channel...... Ram mixing of speed is bad iirc

The 3200mhz will be down graded to 2400mhz instead.......

Try this link.

16gb 2400mhz instead.

I think I did it but it’s not 4gb (soldered) + 4gb. I think it’s 8gb.

Did I do it correctly?

Do you manage to upgrade to the 16gb ram.
How is the experience?

Is there a way to change the keyboard entirely by ourselves? Lenovo service centre will charge quite alot for changing keyboard by yourself
Ask them for a quote.....
Try to bargain to bring the cost down by half....
If still quite ex, buy keyboard from Lazada/shopee......

Go down sim lim and look for Nigel PC care at level 2. Lots of hwzoners recommend him

If I may ask for some help but not about L340 but S145

I can't get windows to boot up. I tried startup repair etc all dont work. All other advanced options also don't work. When I power up my laptop, it will bring me to the screens below

Does anyone know how much it cost for general diagnostic of issues if I bring it down to their Service Centre at Funnan? Been trying to call their hotline but never get thru
