Easy Note E6100

Hi
Does anyone know how to upgrade RAM on this machine? The hard drive is
readily accessible but I can't find a straightforward way of revealing
where the RAM is hidden.
Thanks in advance

I am going to assume like any other laptop the RAM door is located on the
bottom side of the unit marked "RAM" you may have one ram module or two.
Depending on the initial install. You would carefully open the door to the
ram and then check and see if there is a empty spot to add. If not you may
have to buy the upgraded memory chips (RAM) in pairs and remove the other
chip and carefully install same. Please note you have to open the ram module
via pressing the release knob on the side of the ram. then carefully pull
the ram up and out. Install is the placing of the ram module in the ram
rails and pressing the connectors down in the tracks and then carefully push
on the edges until you hear a click.

Don't force it, and your looking for a click sound and not a "CRACK" noise.
Be carefully or have a person who knows what they are doing to install for
you. Many computer shops will install for you if you purchase it there. But
it is really an easy thing to do.

I hope I helped?

Thanks for the reply but I'm afraid your assumption about the location
of the RAM is incorrect, there is no nice little RAM door. That's the
main reason I'm posting - I don't want to take the whole thing to bits
to find out where the RAM is hidden.

OK Lets try this again.........................................
(From the Packard Bell Web Site)
Remove the largest panel from the base (6 screws) to reveal memory slots.
Should be 2 and a 3rd slot for mini pci card.
I believe there are small clips holding it in place as well as the screws.
