Your HP 15-f305dx shows a black screen after adding RAM. You installed a compatible 4GB stick but it didn’t fit, so you moved it to another slot and tested both slots. The issue seems to be with the second slot being damaged. It’s possible the RAM isn’t working due to incompatibility or it arrived faulty. The system is using Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon, which matches the retail model specs—4GB DDR3L, 240GB SSD, AMD A6-5200 APU, and Radeon HD 8400/R3 series BIOS version F.32. I’m sorry for the urgency, and I’m unsure how long the eBay return policy will last after purchase.
