E7240 not booting up after RAM swap
Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with my E7240. I recently had to swap memory and since then when I try to boot the system, I get RAM error in the form of 3 LEDs, the battery one blinking.
I'm using a Samsung 4GB M471B5273DH0-CH9 stick.

That RAM is 1.5V DDR3; it is not compatible with the 7240. Your system needs DDR3L (low voltage, 1.35V).

What happens when you put back the old RAM?

Unfortunately, I don’t have the original ram stick anymore.
Looking at the specifications of the Samsung stick, I can tell that it's compatible with both 1.35/1.5, am I wrong?I looked again and actually it seems that it only works with 1.5V... Problem solved then. Thanks!

thank you for the solution!
This happens to other models too (example for me Dell Latitude 7440)
