Hi there i have an issue with my Asus A43SD laptop. I actually change the ram. The available one is actually 4gb 1033mhz ram internal. I try to change with 4gb 1333mhz. Now the laptop wont boot anymore. When i press power button the display is blank. But there is a sign of power on it. Even if i reseat the ram and also use back the old ram it wont work anymore. I really need help over here. As i am not familiar with windows computer. And what happen to my asus laptop its already been 2 days and it still doesnt boot and just keep giving me the blank screen

So you're trying to mix and match two sticks of ram? Your unit seems to show you have 2 slots for your ram. It'd be a good idea to post a link to both ram sticks or at the very least post a picture of both individual sticks of ram. For the record, it's bad practice to mix and match rams when going for a ram upgrade. If you must perform a ram upgrade, get an identical stick of ram or even as far as getting a ram kit.

Also, are you on the latest BIOS revision for your laptop? The latest found off their support site is version 208. Speaking of which, what OS are you on currently?

Handling static-sensitive devices

Learn about precautions you must take to prevent damage to electronic components from static electricity discharge.

Electronic boards, adapters, media drives, and disk drives are sensitive to static electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent this damage. Take the following precautions to prevent damage to these devices from static electricity discharge.
  • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
    When you are using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when you are using or working on electrical equipment.
    If you do not have a wrist strap, before you remove the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
    Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the device in the system.
    With the device still in its antistatic bag, touch it to the metal frame of the system.
    Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Avoid touching the components and gold connectors on the adapter.
    If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before you pick it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system at the same time.
    Handle the devices carefully to prevent permanent damage.
