I have a Hp Pavilion Power Laptop 15-cb0xx and I need to find my ram specifications. I was told to use Hp Support Assistant but it asks me to add my laptop. The for some reason it wasn't able to detect my device so I did it manually using serial/product number which worked but it keeps saying, "Device scan is pending. Please run Hp Support Assistant on this device to perform scan" even though I am running the program on that laptop. Can someone help me as soon as possible. And thank You.
