    Hi all,

    I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, which is about a year old. I just installed a 2.5 in, 1TB SDD and a second RAM card, both from Crucial. When I still had the laptop open, I turned it on to make sure it recognized the new drive, and all is well. I closed it up and it won't turn on. I opened it back up and it will turn on, but when I got to close it, it either turns off or the display quits - I can't quite tell which because the power light is on, but nothing is happening.

    I assume I am impinging something with the new HD installed, but I can't seem to duplicate the issue with it open.

    Attached is a picture, maybe someone can easily spot my error.

    Thanks in advance!

    Nevermind, I think I fixed it. RAM cover was slightly ajar. Please feel free to delete.
