Hello, your X509-FJ from ASUS has a blank RAM slot. After upgrading to the HDD+MX230 version, you noticed it’s missing the usual slots. The system shows 4GB RAM available, but it seems the default slot isn’t present. You might need to check the motherboard manual or contact ASUS support for installation details.
Likely soldered somewhere inside the laptop, I’d estimate it might be on the opposite side of the board where the empty slot is. In theory, there could be a SODIMM socket there too, but having it soldered in is much more typical. It’s actually quite common for laptops to have soldered-in memory, enabling up to 12GB installation. When they say up to 16GB, I often get puzzled about how that works.
The adjacent memory port is found on the reverse side (beneath the keyboard).
It seems the device only supports up to 4GB RAM, with an additional 4GB fixed in place. That means adding a 16GB module wouldn't fit properly. Very improbable. Likely a SODIMM connector on the opposite side.
I've noticed some laptops offering up to 12GB, while others have 4GB built-in.
