5. Care and Maintenance

RAM modules generally require minimal maintenance once installed. However, proper handling and care are essential to ensure their longevity and optimal performance:

• Clean Environment: Ensure your laptop operates in a clean, dust-free environment to prevent dust buildup on components, which can affect cooling and performance.
• Proper Handling: If you ever need to remove or reinstall the RAM, always follow the ESD precautions outlined in the Safety Precautions section. Avoid touching the gold contacts.
• Storage: If storing a RAM module, keep it in an anti-static bag and in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• System Updates: Keep your operating system and drivers updated. While not directly related to RAM hardware, software optimization can ensure your system utilizes memory efficiently.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing your A-Tech RAM module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• System Does Not Boot / Black Screen:
  • Ensure the RAM module is seated correctly. Remove and reinsert it, making sure the clips snap into place.
  • Verify that the laptop's battery is properly connected and the AC adapter is plugged in.
  • If you installed multiple modules, try booting with only one module at a time to identify a potentially faulty module or slot.
• Incorrect RAM Amount Detected:
  • Check your system's BIOS/UEFI settings or operating system's system information to confirm the detected RAM.
  • If the amount is incorrect, try reseating the module. If the issue persists, ensure your laptop's BIOS is up to date, as older BIOS versions might not fully support newer memory modules.
• System Instability / Blue Screens:
  • This could indicate a faulty module or improper installation. Try reseating the module.
  • Run a memory diagnostic tool (e.g., Windows Memory Diagnostic) to check for errors.
• Compatibility Issues:
  • While this module is designed for the Acer TravelMate TX520-G2-MG, always double-check your laptop's specifications to ensure it supports DDR4 SODIMM memory at 2400MHz.
