Memory Installation

Question: How to install 1 mg chip of memory into a dell D520 laptop

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer: There is usually a little flap on the underside of laptops
that have a screw holding them in place. Remove the screw and you can
open the flap and you will see a place to insert the memory (or there
may be a memory card in there already). If you already have a memory
upgrade in the laptop you will have to remove it to put in the new
chip (sorry laptops can usually only accomodate one memory chip). To
find out the specific location of the flap you can check support on
the dell.com website for a diagram of the laptop using the service tag
number on the bottom of the laptop to identify the correct make and
model.

Before touching any part of your laptop insides make sure that you
have discharged any static electricity from yourself. I usually do
this by touching something metal. This will make sure you don't fry
the inside of your computer or your new chip. If you feel a shock you
did the right thing. No shock just means that you're not overly
electrified :o)
