Dell Mini 10v 2 GB RAM Upgade - Part 2 of 3

[rockstarmaniac717]

the title says upgade not upgrade

[Froben81]

Awesome!! Thank you for this video from Spain! I have been able to upgrade to 2GB :)

[plaingold]

The tutorial is great! Thank You!

Following the steps I successfully upgraded to 2 GB, hopefully adding some longevity to my wee little mini. If the performance is no better, well I'm only out $30.

I had a problem with the first power up. No Dell splash screen only continual beeps. So I reversed the steps checking all the connections and found the new memory stick was not completly seated (one side was not clicked in). After securing it, backtracked my way out, and she booted up. Yay!

[xantepiez]

i want to upgread to 4 GB. is it possible?

[choipecu]

WTH.....Insanity.....I wanted to upgrade with extra ram I had, but it is crazy scary

[pcfreak1992]

"I'm not actually sure what this cable is for..." :D

[TheCoD456Gamer]

The older model was easier to upgrade, or they could have put a back door to the ram like the mini 9.

[pandaman0529]

What was the name of the memory module you bought? I'm looking for one right now

[notonlysunandbeach]

thanks aguish!! as inspiron mini10 user, i'm looking for more ram... could you tell what kind of ram should i buy?

[rollthetape88]

What is the max GB ram the dell mini board can take?. what speed and timings is the ram you bought?

[thepirateuk]

A fantastic tutorialfor this machine. What needs o pointed out is the fact that the WLAN card area of the MB needs to be slotted under plastic post to fit or there will be a buldge in the MB

[omalbari]

Is there any way to replace the ram much more simple? what you are doing is impossible for me

[EnrobsoMada]

thats exlactly what dell wants

[omalbari]

so, replacing the MSI wind will be much simpler, right?

[jeffswimmer12]

I used to have a wind u100, and replacing ram took 10 mins, and was very easy. i just got the 10v and replacing the ram on that will take literally 5-10 times longer. the 10v is a better computer though. get the 10v

[Olli120]

@omalbari Replacing Components in the MSi Wind is bloddy easy. You just have to remove 9 screws on the bottom, remove the back and you can access everything from the ram slot, hard disk, WiFi Card etc.

[ShadowC78]

Thank you. Great video. You've probably saved me from breaking my 10v cos I've decided its too fiddly for me! I'll live with the 1gb ram til I'm more confident messing with the bowls of computers!

[BrownLightning]

Thank you! Very great tutorial. These do work for the Nickelodeon Edition also =)

[leathertek]

Thankyou great video!!! I'm an NOOB and I was able to upgrade my ram because of you, again thanks

[gpwii360]

why couldn't dell just put a door to access the ram from bottom of the netbook?

[TechPhilosophy]

Because that would be too easy.

[gpwii360]

I guess your right.

[BlackHoleFileOrg]

because then they couldn't force you to buy the more expensive upgrade at purchase or by sending it in to them. it is most unfortunate but standard practice

[MikeBoyTV]

I'm ooking at one of thee for my sister and I want to give her more ram than just 1gb or 2, do they have a 3 or 4gb ugrade?

[spacekiid214]

uprgading the ram is doing want to the mini?

thanks im thinkin of buying a mini

[iFuff]

There are crazy people at dell!

[anguish79]

Considering how bloody difficult it is to do the upgrade (well, easy for me now), yeah, I'm inclined to agree. Especially considering it would be so easy to have put an access hatch right there.

[anguish79]

I wanna say 200, but I don't remember for sure. What I had pulled out of mine stock was a stick of PC2-6400, so whatever that is.

[RamAirTA98]

I love the term "simple force." Seems contradictory. lol

[S80RDR]

Can a faster processor be put in the 10v ?

[anguish79]

Theoretically, yes. In reality, no. The reason being is that the CPU is soldered onto the motherboard.

[S80RDR]

Thanks anguish

[samgraves2]

Is it worth all this? I'd be lying if I said I'm a bit apprehensive about dismantling my entire laptop. :/

[EnrobsoMada]

thats for you to decide!

[samgraves2]

Obviously. My question was rather there is a noticeable difference at all.

[EnrobsoMada]

@samgraves2 thats for you to decide!

[ekjunge]

Wow what a great video!! I changed out my ram in about 30minutes!!!

[jaraeez]

@ DevaJones03 - that is true & I also have 2GB. Maybe I should of worded it better. MS will not allow a netbook to have more than 1GB leaving the manufacturer, in other words Dell were not allowed to..if they want to sell their netbook with XP.

[jaraeez]

Microsoft have a stipulation for XP on netbooks - no more than 1GB of ram or else! - typical

[DevaJones03]

thats not true i have 2gb in mine and it works fine

[xoxo2008oxox]

Dude, get yourself a static strap, a spudge stick, and ice cube tray. Geesh. Oh wait, I'm dell certified and I approve this message. (Dell didn't put 2Gig Ram in for cost...not everyone needs 2gigs...except us hackintoshers)

[jagjagin]

wow that a long process, maybe there's a reason why they didn't make the ram upgrable, or at least not easily accessible

[waywardsage]

What a PITA to just change out some RAM!!

[anguish79]

Definitaly a PITA. But, IMHO, it was worth it. Would be nice if they made it easier, but I digress.. Probably designed like that to keep Microsoft happy.

[macaw2000]

Why would Microsoft be happy that RAM is difficult to upgrade? Can you explain?

[DevaJones03]

i think it's like that so you would either have to send it back to dell for upgrade or pay a computer shop to do it...so really its to make you pay more money in the long run.

[brodypros]

it convient how the ram pops up>LOL

[ferrisr]

It always does like that in notebooks. :P
