Helen, I suggest you give us the Make & Model of your laptop. We may then be able to advise.:rolleyes:

It will be under a flap on the bottom of the laptop.

Do you have the manual?

Post make / model as mentioned above.

But may need a bit more info. Easynote C3???

NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE BATTERY BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALATION (no power to the motherboard)

Packard Bell User's Guide


Not found a manual with more information.

Disconnect from wall AND remove battery.

Also earth yourself to remove any static that may have built up on you.

Good luck

ok

ive done it
everything seems to be working
had nothing come up on screen
how do i know if ive done it right?
there were 2 slots so i put it in empty one and left other one in,was this right?

thanks

Yes, sounds right. If you go into Control Panel, System, General and look at the info under Computer: it will tell you how much memory it thinks it has.

If it doesn't show up, some motherboards need you to go into the BIOS setup screen and save the new config data before recognising the extra memory.

hmc

it says i have 736 now so that would be right i think
thanks
