    Hi all

    I decided to make some videos. One is a simple Hard Disk swap - how to locate and remove the HDD and replace it.

    The second is a more detailed video on how to locate and change the RAM in your Dell notebook.

    The procedure should be the same for most Latitude/Inspiron owners, since the RAM chips are usually located in the same place - one under the keyboard, and one under a panel on the bottom of the laptop.

    Hope you find them useful......
