Product: HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a basic version of HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 with 8GB of RAM (4 soldered down and one 4GB plank DDR3 SK Hynix HMT451B6AFR8A) and i want upgrade it. I want to replace my 4GB plank with 8GB, but I don't know which one. Because I heard, that this laptop doesn't support double-sided RAM, and most 8GB DDR3(L) planks are exactly like that.  So if you know, tell me please some 8GB RAM plank model that can I use...

Thanks in advance) Regards...

The Maintenance and Service Guide says:

 

One service provider-accessible/upgradable memory module slot
4-GB memory integrated into system board
DDR3L PC3L-12800-(1600 MHz) dual channel support
NOTE: DDR3 memory is not supported. Only DDR3L memory is supported.
Supports 8-GB of system RAM in the following configurations:
● 8-GB (4-GB integrated + 4-GB SODIMM)
● 4-GB (4-GB integrated)

 

By some reasons, HP does not offer 8GB module, only 4GB module part # 747221-005. Crucial does not offer any.

 

Machine already has Hynix RAM, please try

@Banhien

 

The model you are proposing is double-side ("2 ranks"). I have a following sticker on the RAM slot:

Double sided modules won't work, even if you manage to get it into the slot it will show you an error saying that the module is not compatible.

 

Edit: It seems that BIOS version 1.30 allows the use of double-sided modules, it is not recommended though and can damage your hardware.
