Hi,

Thanks but this is the older model(latest version no longer has the ram card plastic door on the bottom of the netbook). Ie the bottom of netbook is sealed and continuous except for 4 rubber feet. So I am still stuck as to how to access RAM or at least remove keyboard so I can see if Ram is under keyboard

Okay found answer. Remove battery pack and slide orange tab and pry off bottom case, then remove small metal cover(2 screws) to access RAM chip. Similar to HP mini 210 http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISIBCLS9MuM&feature=related but even simpler..

steveksc,

Were you able to expand RAM in 110-3000ca to 2 GB and have OS recognize? HP says this cannot be done.

If yes did your performance improve?

don t touch the keyboard... l m french ok, xcuse my english, but you have to remove the batterie (disconnect before), take out the down cover, here is the trap, 2 screw, press the pads and Hop ! replace by 2gb ram(2048mb), i by a HP mini 110-3053, 250gb+1024mb, and replace by 2048mb. computer recognize 2gb of memory ram. But i really not do the difference.

The best way after u upgrade to 2gb RAM u must restore THE SYSTEM.........

the 2gb ram upgrade does work & is recognized by windows without having to restore the system.
