How to upgrade Dell Mini 10v memory - Part 2 (reassemble)

[superdog1000]

Eres el mejo todo a la perfeccion gracias

[riccallelectrics]

Just converted mine to run on snow leopard here dellhackintosh . com

[RedTechMedia]

Nice job! Worked perfectly!

[cgimusic]

Wow it worked. I had one screw left from by the Ethernet port that wouldn't go back in but it seems fine. Thanks so much. I am just waiting on a Bluetooth card delivery that I will install later.

I guess I should also thank Dell for realizing what components people are most likely to want to upgrade such as RAM and then putting them in a logical place on the motherboard for users to access them. Shame they didn't follow through with their case design.

so nice to see people like you thank you I upgrade my computer memory thanks to you thank you so much

[sequi976]

Great video men!! Give me a paypal account to donate $20!

[dboy11368]

excellent! no problems with the mod and spray painted the palm rest while it was removed. thank you for this great guide.

[dmw32774]

This was fantastic. I love the up close shots and the 'slowness' of the instructions to give the user a chance to double-check what they are doing. I was able to accomplish this perfectly the first time. I checked bluetooth, WI-FI and LAN, touchpad and all the keyboard keys. Everything worked great. I cannot thank you enough for these videos.

[online4yourmind]

Another upgrade Completed... Also fitted a bluetooth module while I was in there.. Excellent tutorial.. quick, simple and well put together both part 1 and 2... Thanks Heaps!!!!

[hafe100]

My power adapter went bad so this video helped a lot. While I was at it I upgraded ram.. Many thanks!

[deafimplant]

wow! wonderful tutorial. where most just show you how to do it, you showed us how to "re-do" it! even though i could have figured it out, a video like this helps; takes a lot less anxiety from the situation, especially for people like me, who mainly work on desktops, and HATES working on laptops. you made it simple, and ill be sure to use this vid when my mini10 gets here ina few days.

thank you!

[shihfaphoto]

The video was great! Everything went smoothly. But I do have a question. You started your disassembly process by removing three screws. Was one of these screws bigger that the other ones with a sharp point?

[usaswim323]

I believe there are 2 cables (black and white) that came undone when you lifted the motherboard out, they are near the SD card reader.

[pabloarista]

Thanks so much. I was able to upgrade my netbook without any hassle. so easy, even this programmer can do it. (:

[m1larepa]

Just an awesome tute, jrincon. Excellent step-by-step doing an upgrade that ought to be a no-brainer except for Dell's infinite idiocy in burying the RAM chip.

I found that when you remove the keyboard screws you can push a small tool through one of the holes to lift the keyboard up from the front. Also I was having so much difficulty removing the power cable that I left it hooked up, flipped the board, and replaced the RAM.

Went ahead and added bluetooth also!

[mrnice1058]

thanks for the write up man! it helped me out a lot!

[toughguitar1]

can you use 3gb ram

where can i get one

[gqblues]

Great video (both parts)! Thanks for posting.

[Trutchie]

thankyou very much. extreamly helpful.

[recusantrector]

Thanks so much for posting this. I was able to save my mini 10 after dropping it going through airport security: booting up couldn't find the OS. But following your instructions I was able to crack open the case and re-seat the HDD. Life-saver!

[thisishellagay]

well i managed to get the 2bg ram stick in and all, but when i turned it on, the screen was white. i checked all connections were good. i seem to have damaged the display cable! D: Shit! well I got it to mostly work... meaning that the screen is all fucked up! Should I go to dell about this?

[mrahn10]

thanks for the video... helped immensely...

[colleenafvenable]

These videos were a thousand times better than other upgrade videos. I was cursing up a storm until I found them. Holy hell, could Dell make it any more complicated? Thanks so much for saving me!

[xGarurumon]

After doing this, my WLAN network card stopped working? My laptop upgraded fine to the 2GB of ram, but it's not reading the network card anymore. Help?

[matthewkflint]

Nicely done, Sir. Followed your instructions, it all works like a charm. Couldn't have done it without you! :-D

[lostinbelcruit]

Great vdeo. Thanks for talking the time and effort to put up there.

[AllAtheism]

Can't the RAM be accessed just by taking of the back cover? I think it's that way with most of netbooks...

[thisishellagay]

@AllAtheism most, but dell was retarded when making this one

[emin7075]

Thank you very much for this video.

[rhadiem]

Great video. Glad it was just a dead battery :) Thanks, your videos have given me the courage to do it myself.

[teamgh0ul]

thanks, i disassembled and reassembled using this, thanks. easy

[rmacalpine]

Thanks! Worked great! Not so sure I could have done it without you sharing your video. And it certainly wouldn't have been so straightforward.

[dutymaster1]

you have todo it before the unbox and turn it on or you can do after it?

[rhadiem]

@dutymaster1 you can upgrade the ram any time, even after you've been using it

[naterv11]

Hey i was wondering if this would void the 1 year warranty by dell?

[jacinb1977]

Great Videos worked like a charm!!

[crow1723]

Thank you. worked perfectly.

[08Scholar]

Dude! You rock!!

[Progressare]

Thanks for Great Video and Comments. And also thanks to YouTube and Bill Gates

[naterv11]

Bill Gates wtf? why?

[melbelle01133]

HELP! I followed the instructions and when I try to turn the computer back on it makes a beeping noise and the screen does not come on. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?

[wefreema]

@melbelle01133 Same thing happened to me. I just took it apart again and reseated the ram, put it back together and it worked. Fairly standard to have to seat the ram a couple of times, it just isn't usually such a pain to do... You can test it without screwing in most of the screws underneath. Very useful instructions, by the way.

[49kingify]

how much it's the 2GB in the USA

what it's the part number?

[STARZFAN31]

What type of memory does the mini take?? I would love to upgrade mine,, but what type of memory do i need to buy, and i assume i will need one 2gb memory module, right??

[ccspir2]

Just followed your instructions and it worked exceptionally well. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

[madipalli]

THE BEST

[xPhilippo]

Updated!! Thank you so much...!

You can use a credit card or something similar in order to pull up the touchpad.

Thank you again!! =)

[jffonseca10]

Thanks so much!! very helpful step by step.. worked very good...

cheers

[pjeric1996]

Thanks for sharing!

[rtomazela]

Thank you!!!!!

[midget2000x]

You're a SAINT for doing this. Very well done. Thanks to you, my RAM and HD upgrade went great

[Ibdman2000]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It's so refreshing to see people who still take time to post quality how to videos :)

[th34nt0ni0]

Perfect. I'm imaging the hard drive onto my new Scorpio Black 320GB 16MB cashe 7200RPM HDD now.

[joealanb]

this is the most practical walk-through video i have seen! i followed step-by-step... worked like a charm! Well Done!!!!! Thank you very much! there is no way I would have been able to have done it so smoothly without these videos!!

[abfabkintaro]

THANK YOU very, very, very much!!! I could not have changed out my memory if it was not for you and your video!!! Much mahalo!!!

[TheBleuBlurr]

Thank you good sir, I just installed my 2 gig stick with your guidance.

[KrazyKuul111]

does your 10v get really warm to the right half underneath, and above the keyboard, even with good circulation?

[linuxguy2009]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I really appreciate all the time you took to do this, really I do. This was the first thing I called Dell for was to find out if the memory was upgradeable and they said it was soldered onto the motherboard. I got a Kingston Platinum Series PC2-6400 card. Seems a bit snappier than the generic ram that Dell slapped in at the factory, but it may just be the placebo effect too. hehe Thanks again dude!

[nahumthebest]

Hey, AWESOME/SWEET VIDEO!!! I'm ordering a dell mini 10v this weekend, and the 1GB limitation was the only thing I didn't like, but now I know it is possible to upgrade!

Questions: 1)can you give me exact link to where I can buy the 2GB RAM card for this laptop? 2)how noticeable was the change in the performance after the upgrade? Like, can I run itunes, google chrome, and MS Office '07 ALL at the same time running smoothly??? Can they all run smoothly w/o the upgrade?? Thank you.

[htidas]

Worked like a charm. Many thanks.

[caoimhincryan]

Thanks very much, brilliant video.

[ranhdrcewp]

It would be so much more convenient if Dell offered this upgrade. This will come in handy very soon for me. Thanks

[TehRahk]

Thank you very much for this video. Quick question: what was wrong when the laptop did not bootup the first time?

I believe that I am going to upgrade my memory but that made me a little apprehensive. haha

[jrinco11]

the battery was dead haha

[lano717209]

I thought Win XP can only read 1gig of RAM, how can you install a 2gig RAM card and have Win XP read it and fully operate on the 2 gigs of RAM?

[jrinco11]

windows xp (32bit) can read 3.3gb. the ram limitation in these netbooks has nothing to do with the operating system, rather with the chipset the motherboard uses.

[wateva1995]

thanks these really helped!!!
