    Hi all,

    I want to upgrade my laptops memory. I have the correct memory, but I can't find where to fit it!!!! :confused:

    The manual shows the wrong cover to remove (its the HDD). The site is a load of !?!?!?!?

    Does anyone know which cover comes off?

    I am new to all this and dont want to risk just unscrewing all the screws in sight.

    Many thanks
    :eek:

    This is what you are looking for:

    The memory is under the same panel as the processor. Just look for the heatvent and that will tell you where the cpu is, so you open the right panel.
    The memory is in the lower right of the image, and the two cards are stacked one on top of another.
