I attempted to increase the RAM in your ThinkPad e14 Gen 2, but the display goes dark, the power button flashes and shuts off repeatedly. Replacing it with the original RAM didn’t resolve the issue. Please consider checking for hardware faults or consulting a professional repair.

It's still useful to reset the main battery to set the CMOS, though this might vary between Lenovo and HP models.

Started with the initial 8GB drive but remains black when using the 16GB version, though it functions on another machine.

It might be secured to particular sections of a QVL catalog, such as HP. This results in a 30% increase compared to the regular price.

I don't have a clear answer to that. Could you provide more context or clarify what you're referring to?

Typically it's a firmware or BIOS lock, so the safest approach is to check the QVL part number and look for it used online.
