Upgradation of Ram

[Sarthak_puhan]

Hello folks, 

I have hp 15q-bu0xx (15q-bu013TU) model.

Intel i3 6th generation.

I want to know if Crucial RAM 4GB DDR4 2666 MHz CL19 Desktop Memory CT4G4DFS8266 will be compatible with my laptop.

@Sarthak_puhan -- have you tried the app at: https://www.crucial.com/store/advisor

to advise you which RAM (by Crucial) is guaranteed to be compatible with your HP computer?

HI @Sarthak_puhan 

Yes. That module is compatible with your notebook.

Check this hyperlink at Crucial memory for a large list of  memory modules that are guaranteed compatible with your notebook.

Hi @Erico i have been through the link as you have mentioned and i got the information that it is compatible.

I have one more question kindly please help. 

My battery isn't giving any backup as i remove my adapter it shuts down automatically but i have gone through the hp virtual support assistant test & it shows it in good condition.

Kindly guide me.

Yes i have but as it has 2600 speed so I'm confused as i have 2400 speed.

If Crucial Memory guarantees memory module compatibility it will work as advertised.

There isn't enough difference between 2400 and 2666 MHz for you to even notice. Modules will downclock to the required speed of the system board chipset, which in your case is 2400 MHz.  

You should have started a new thread. It adds to your reputation.

If the notebook shuts down when the power adapter is removed the battery has reached the end of its service life.  Does the charge/power LED light in an amber or red color when power adapter is plugged in? 

[Sarthak_puhan]

It show amber or maybe white type. 

Also every time it shows fully charged in battery status.

From a power off state or from the HP Support Assistant, with the power adapter connected, run the battery test.

Click on the advanced button and compare the design capacity in watt hours and the full charge capacity. If you see a great difference between the two, the issue is the battery.  The battery will need to be replaced with a new one.

There is a great difference between white and amber. Amber means in the process of charging and white means fully charged.
