So i opened my laptop up this morning to hear 4 beeps upon startup,with no screen power, it was just off. so i searched it up to find out what it meant and it was either the ram that was screwed up or the mobo. being out of warranty, i just checked the ram to find that the second stick was dead and after removing it i can use my laptop fine, so long as i dont open up too much. anyhow, i need to find the replacement for just ONE stick of 2gb 1Rx8 PC3 - 12800S - 11 - 10 - B2 ram. that's exactly what the code is on the stick. Or, alternatively, another 2gb 1600mhz stick that would also work with the other stick i have working.
Thanks so much in advance!

If you have a bit of cash, just buy a set and replace the other stick as well. easier in the short term and also prevents you from having problems if you try to mix different brands of ram.

I would but I just don't feel like spending 70 bucks on a whole new set when i could probably just get that one stick for 25 bucks and be content with my machine like I was before. Thanks though.

4gb is only $40, but yea you can get cheaper stuff elsewhere. Just jump on amazon and search for ddr3 laptop ram and you should find plenty of different sets at different prices. -

I'm with bigtonyman on this one, as long as they match speed/size and voltages you should be fine.
