Working on this for a griend. Need to know how to acess the memory so I can upgrade the memory.
 
Solution


Turn it over and you should see a couple of small screwed down hatches. Unscrew the smaller and the memory will be underneath. There's a little aluminium clip on either end of the RAM stick and you release that to spring the stick from its mounting. Read carefully the printed spec and make sure you get more of the same. Check the manufacturer's specification first to make sure you don't buy more than the machine can use or take the online memory scan at http://www.crucial.com.

It has been upgraded now and my friend is very, very happy about it.

I found out you have to remove the keyboard on this un it to get to the memory. :bounce

Thanks for the help.
 


There's always one awkward design. 🙁 Glad he got it sorted anyway.[/#000ff]
