Review on TECMIYO 4GB DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 PC3-10600S Non ECC Unbuffered 1 by Black Croom

Can you judge a book (or memory in this case) by its cover? (See Appendix A). The outer protective layer (A) is an ultra-thin plastic found in dollar store toys. I have never seen such inferior storage packaging. That alone should have told me something about the "quality" of the product. Anyway, I ignored this and tried to update my dv7 with a disk. I could not boot after installing this memory. tried again There isn't even a boot menu. Well, after a few seconds, something started burning inside. Not a good sign! This chip burned out in my memory slot (B:before and C:after) and its plastic sticker almost melted! I only gave this unknown brand a chance because it arrives in two days. learned my lesson
