    I went to upgrade the memory in my HP dv2000t today and i got one of the screws out of the memory compartment without a problem but the second one was tight and stripped like butter on me. I tried forever to get it out and all i did was strip it past all hope. I tried cutting out a couple little grooves to use a flat head screwdriver but that wasn't working well ither. I guess i'm just not going to worry about it since i've got a new dv2000t coming next week since i ordered another after Merom was released so i'll just send this one back. I wish they would use some better screws in these things that wont strip so easy.
