laptop memory issue

I have an Acer laptop that I wanted to put memory on. I went to the website to see what memory I needed…I did this and got the exact type of memory for my laptop. After getting the memory I inserted it into the memory slot and when i turned it back on the comp would not recognise it.

I have ddr II 5300 memory in the computer now that is what came with it. I put it in the slot next to the other memory…Is there any other questions i will be on

Need more info than that, What model is it, How much ram was in it originally, How much did you buy to add.

well, did you try to remove your original memory and put the new one to the same slot as was the old one? If it works maybe you have some problem with second slot… (or the new memory is broken)
