MacBook Pro won't boot after RAM upgrade

[Stuipdboy1000]

Hi all. I upgraded the RAM in my MacBook Pro (13 inch, early-2011) this morning. I was wanting to go from the stock 4GB to 8GB. I purchased the RAM online from Crucial, one of the most reputable brands around. However, after I had popped the new RAM in and tried to boot it, nothing. There is no life in this thing. The battery indicator on the side won't even light up.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert in computer upgrades but I have done this before on other MacBooks so I knew what I was doing. I don't know if I've maybe nudged a cable by accident?

I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to try and receive it with no luck. Have you guys got any suggestions before I go and book a Genius Bar appointment?

Is the RAM seated properly?

Is the RAM seated properly?

Yeah. I followed the instructions on Apple's website just to be sure. I tried putting the old RAM back in it to see if I had maybe been sent faulty RAM but that doesn't seem to have worked either.

Check the battery connection.

Checked the battery connection but it seems pretty snug.

I've booked an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow morning and I'll see what they have to say. I'll keep you posted.
