This upgrade activity should only be performed by an adult.
Upgrading the System Memory Module
Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s
dynamic memory capacity is increased. The computer has a DDR2
memory socket, which is located underneath the keyboard. You
can increase the amount of memory by replacing the existing one
with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as SO-DIMM)
of a higher capacity. The SO-DIMM can be 256MB, 512MB, or
1024MB in capacity. The SO-DIMM is of type DDR2 SDRAM, has
200 pins and runs on 1.8V.
Memory upgrade is a delicate
process. Please observe the following instructions carefully
or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due
to mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty. Changing memory while your
computer is in suspend or power-saving mode may cause
permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you turn off
the power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a
memory upgrade.
You should only use the DIMM module that is approved by the
reseller or the manufacturer; otherwise the system may
become unstable.
To install the DIMM under the keyboard, do the following:
1.
Power OFF the notebook. Unplug the AC cord and all
cables/devices attached to the notebook.
2.
Place your hand on a large metal object momentarily to
discharge any static electricity. Place the notebook on a
flat surface and fully open the LCD lid.
3.
Find the keyboard latches near the bottom edge of the
keyboard. The latch is spring-loaded. It will retract when
pressed and revert back to its original position when
released.
