Hi,
Are you sure that in your system there were not DDR2 modules. The DV4000 comes in two editions, one takes DDR RAM and one takes DDR2 RAM. Since the DDR RAM you bought does not fit, I am guessing that the RAM in your system is DDR2 which has different slotting and will not fit in DDR slot.
Hope it helps,
David
