How to Add ram to the MSI WIND U100

[Pouch98]

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS FUCKING GUIDE

I trashed my MSI following it. When removing the cover on the top left is a hinge for the screen, for some reason the screw would NOT go back in, I found that when I removed the cover if you move the lid even slightly it breaks the plastic bracket the screw goes into totally fucking the machine.

SO DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE

[cookaacoo]

@Pouch98 Maby you just did it incorrectly. :)

[x83x]

@Pouch98 the guide worked for me. seems you did it wrong. actually i read your comment before starting, so i paid much attention to being careful about those delicate hinges, but i haven't had any problems neither with opening the thing nor with closing.

that ram is now 20 bucks without shipping

Dude, you could have faded Coldplay out when ending the speeded up sequence, instead of just having an abrupt end to the music. :-S

Guys can I install a 2gb 800mhz ramstick if I disable the onboard ram in this netbook?

The thing is that reading the manual i noticed that i says: DDR2 667/800 mhz, 2gb max

[biayyatch]

You can add a 2gb stick however it will only read 2gb total, and you first have to disable the onboard RAM in the BIOS.

i got a problem with my msi U100 series?

trying to take the bios password i remove the cmos battery but then i turn it on n the password is still there! wat can i do in this case.

[Aspergianstar2009]

Mine is the U130 is it the same gig of ram?

[bladeswalker]

I have recently bought myself a U100 and I am also going to upgrade my RAM. But the RAM in the machine already, runs at 533 MHz. would a 667 MHz stick, like the one your link leads to, work on the U100?

[steavedaver]

exact net boox as im using right now but im using windows 7. i want to put 1 more gb of ram

[xsjad0man]

hey im trying to upgrade my ram only i tryed a 1bg and it dident read it, i then tryed a 512 from my lap top and it dident read that either, is there someing i need to do in the OS so it reads the new Ram. Thanks in advance.

[PCino45s2]

Thanks for the information! Windows 7 works pretty good with the full 2gb :)

[mikeeg86]

Does anyone know if this works for the new MSI U130 and if the ram goes in the same way as it looks as if the underside of the u100 is identical to the u130. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[UrFriend00]

Wait, so adding RAM to your MSI doesn't void your warranty?

[TDUxam]

Can i add 512mb of ram, too?

[JvP4ant]

667 or 800hz? Can i also replace the hdd with a bigger one and if yes.. up to how many gb it supports?

[getNRaged]

Thank you. I've had my Wind about a year and didn't want to risk voiding the warranty (despite already having the memory with me). At that time I had looked up how to install it and don't remember who's video I came across, but I knew to look for it when I decided to get it done. Came across this and it made it real easy to remember. Now the memory is installed and was very simple to do.

So again, thanks. :)

[iphonehacker87]

does it void the warranty if ive only had this computer for a week and a half

[55Duran]

i thought its 1 gb not .99

[xXBoomBoomBoomoXx]

Amazing video man thanks a lot

[snooper71]

What if I added a 2gig stick... Would the Wind read:

3gig

2gig

or not see the 2gig stick at all leaving it at 1gig?

[cookaacoo]

no do not add a 2 gig stick the system has 1 gig installed only add 1 more it will not work and possibly kill it if you add 2 gig stick of ram

[blackbox403]

with a bios upgrade, can i add a 2gig ramstick?

and would it be worth buying a 9 cell battery replacement/upgrade

[cookaacoo]

even with a bios update the wind can only have 1 1gig ram stick bringing the total memory to 2 gb

[darkhoodlord]

This is a great tutorial - It goes right to the point not like other tutos where the guy just talks about crap crap crap lol.

Thank you bro =) good work !!!

[Mrjumper808]

[MiZoSpaDe]

did you think wind would work great with another hard drive " like 320 G ^_^ " after updated the ram to 2G ??

[see2417]

thanks for the video

[keegan198]

Deos that version the u100 have a sim card reader by by where the battery goes?

[cookaacoo]

yes i recommend watch my new HD video of this i redid it you can see much more clearly.

[cookaacoo]

holy crap 9,000 views... i gota make a hd video of this soon.. this is crap looking

[iamthestig4]

great video, it looks so easy.

one question: how many cells is that battery 6 or 9?

[cookaacoo]

6 cell i think they just came out with the 9 cell but my msi fryed itself it set itself on fire... killing everything.

[StancyMcKatt]

Thanks a bunch for the video. The part where you kind of pinch the edge of the battery slot to open it up was what I nearly missed. Thanks again for the help :)

[CHICHIZZLE]

LOL I loves the part... "I was just Guessing" on Coldplay song!

Very usefull.. Thanks for uploading this!

[cookaacoo]

Yea do you have a  msi wind also? its like the lyrics i was just guessing on the laptop rofl, anyway

[cookaacoo]

Subscribe plz!

[erad67]

Mine just doesn't want to open up. Got it halfway, but around the 3rd corner (battery side facing up, counting clockwise, upper right corner is #1) it just won't stop sticking. I may just be wimping out, but it was bending more than I was comfortable with. Rather annoying.

[BOBBY19771]

sounds like you have a screw thats not all the way out of the case????

[erad67]

Yea, that turned out to be the issue. It was hiding under a sticker. Someone pointed that out to me a couple weeks ago.  Thanks for trying to help!

[VinnyOwnZ]

nice vid man gonna be ordering my wind soon and i at least want 2 gigs of ram thats alot tho

[ffddii007911]

can you overclock with the ram and how much can u???????

[FCChrisBand]

hey thanks for telling me that it won't void the warranty and you made it look easy my msi wind is coming a week or two

[PROPUDGE]

You can upgraded up to 2GB ram. Because, Intel 945GSE motherboard maxed support of 2gb. I am computer Information knowing all about motherboards.

[polgee39]

thanks alot i will be doing this as soon as i get mine. what size screwdriver are you using

[1point8turboA4]

Thanks for the informative video and link to newegg's $13 RAM! I'm doing this to my U100 as soon as it arrives!
