What type of RAM in LTE 5100 series ??

Hi !

I need a help because my old notebook has only 8mb of ram
and I need to extend it.

Is anybody here who knows what type of ram is used in COMPAQ LTE 5100 series
??

....and where is it placed in machine ??

Maximum memory is 72 meg. It's external, on the back side, above and to the
right of the parallel port, as viewed from the rear.

Try Ebay, or www.computersurplusoutlet.com .

Modules we

8 meg
16 meg
32 meg
64 meg


Only one module can be installed, (plus the internal RAM).


(From my experience.)

No. It's Compaq unique and long before a SODIMM was ever even thought of.

Is this an usual SO-DIMM memory ??

I have 64 MB module, will it be working ??

One opening, but with two connectors.... Early 64 bit.......

I can send you pics of the Compaq Ram, if you like..?~!

I don't think it requires pairs, in fact I think there is only one slot.

OK, Tom,

Perhaps it's a pre-SODIMM .... Gotta be in pairs, and follow the
previous links.

Dale,

Pics on the way. Will you admit it when you are wrong?

Ya know,

When you are holding the device in your hand, and describing it, It's a
little different.

I believe I stated that it had one opening, not one slot.

Looking forward to hearing from Dale Johnson AKA DEJ57

(And what is with the Seldom right?)

Yes! Please send me pics of pairs of RAM that fit into one slot but have
two
connectors--is that like one of those illusion images where you can go
down the
stair case in a continious spiral?

This is beginning to sound like two becoming one in marriage or the
trinity in
one being. Mike is seldom right and never wrong, no matter how wrong he
is.

It sounds to me like you're referring to a SIMM with a single card edge
connector separated by a notch.

Something like this maybe?

Pics on the way. Will you admit it when you are wrong?

Certainly. I've always admited I'm wrong when I'm wrong. A number of times.
If the pics you sent me are the correct memory, its what I would call a memory
module, which has two memory chips permenently attached to a mounting buss. I
doubt you have to install this memory module in pairs, but I haven't been able
to get the pdf from HP's site to download so I can confirm any of this. Link
me to where Compaq says you need to install two of these modules, in pairs, and
I'll admit I'm wrong.

No--it appears to be two SIMM attached to a bus, and the bus gets plugged in.

Dale, Dale, Dale.

I stated that the memory were a pair of boards. One to a laptop.

One opening, a module with two boards attached to a plastic carrier, with
two phillips head screws, going into a captured nut in the plastic carrier.
There are no notches in the gold plated memory board, so it's a pre-So-dimm.

I never stated that the modules needed to be installed in pairs, only that
it was a pair of boards in one opening.

Jeeshh!

Try this link (hope it works). Its directly to the complete Service and
Maintenance Guide for LTE 5x- series if you ever need to disassemble your
notebook. It takes a minute or two to open - its about 320pages large.
