RAM for F2-422

I want to expand the memory of my F2-422. I have bought a 4GB module (Samsung DDR3 SODIMM 1.35v 1600MHZ cl11) but the equipment does not turn on. The module works correctly because I have tested it on another computer.
Upon opening I noticed that the RAM socket is written "DDR3 1.5v", so I thought that would be the problem. I have bought another RAM module (Kingston DDR3 4GB 1.5v sodimm 1600mhz) but the exact same thing happens.
I have tried another module I had at home (Crucial DDR3 sodimm 1.35v 2GB 1600mhz) and it doesn't work either.
I have tried looking for some compatible module, official or not, but there is no way to find it. Can someone tell me what the problem is?

Here is the compatible list of RAM sticks. To avoid compatibility issues, it recommended purchasing the official RAM sticks.

I used this one on my F2-221 with no issues. Detects 10G and has been working for 8 months.

My model (F2-422) does not appear on the compatibility list.

there doesn't seem to be a DDR3L 1333MHz in that Aliexpress store. I actually ordered the 1600MHz for this reason (which also is not listed anymore), and my F2-220 won't boot with that. :(

DDR3L ? definitely not for me. Maybe it depends on location?
