Ram Issues and rant

So I have an Asus laptop (it's a few years old but I cant look up the exact version) Anyway I wanted to add more Ram to it. Took me Forever to find which Ram since the anywhere I looked on the computer refused to tell me. and of course "what Ram do I have" to google means "How much Ram" so that didnt help.

So I finally looked up the laptop itself went to a few different sources and saw it was DDR5. Okay cool. So my original plan was to pick up the part, have someone install it and go home knowing if anything went wrong no way can I be blamed.

Well the person I talked to on the phone said installation was about $30. I get there (not close to me at all) and that $30 turns into almost $200 because of some bs (I stopped listening after the price)

Anyway I go back home and like well hell I'll do it myself. Get the screws all undone, pop the back, you know do all the normal things the 5 YouTube videos tell me to do. ANNNND the ram does not fit.

and of course the Ram that is there just has a silver thing on it so I cant tell what kind of Ram it is. All I know is the Ram I got doesn't line up. so now I have to figure what one to get, return the other one....

all in all...damnit
