    I've bought the ram that dell suggested me. It's a crucial 8 gb ddrl 3 sodimm which should be compatible. I tried to plug them one by one old one one seems to work on both ports but other one doesn't

    Memory should only be installed in pairs of the exact same type and brand.  Not doing this in most cases results in upgrade failures.

    Dell published memory specs:

    Memory
    Slot Two SODIMM slots Type Dual‑channel DDR3L Speed 1600 MHz Configurations supported 4 GB, 8 GB, 12 GB, and 16 GB

    @Cihan_erkn 

    If the new one does not work when tested alone in both slots then the memory would be defective or incompatible???

    Unless you can test the new memory in another laptop then return or exchange.

    A reset is worth a try.
