Wrong ram? Your model can use up to 8gb total ram--two 4 gb chips. See manual for installing ram--

See the ram info here to make sure you have the right ram-- https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/vostro-1540

When you say no possible way, is the RAM physically the correct size? What type of RAM are you trying to install? The following link should help. And remember that the slot on the RAM must line up with the key in the motherboard slot.
