How to upgrade & dismantle Dell Mini 10v 1018

jRin.net shows you how to dismantle and upgrade the latest Dell Mini 10v, the 1018. (use this video to learn how to upgrade the memory).

For memory upgrade purposes, note that it is slightly different than the Mini 1012 in that there is no (removable) memory access door under the keyboard to access the memory slot - you need to take off the palm rest to access it!

Also, please be sure to know what Dell Mini 10 series netbook you have prior to following this video as there are currently 4 different ones. * Dell Mini 10 (1010) which is easily identifiable as it is the only one that has a HDMI port. This is the only Dell Mini 10 series that cannot have it's memory upgraded.

* Dell Mini 10v 1011 -- similar look (body style) to the Mini 10 except that it has a different atom processor (n270, n280) and has VGA instead of HDMI.

* Dell Mini 10v 1012 -- has a new hinge design compared to the Mini 1011/1010 and the bottom half is all white, no longer has the huge extended battery that sticks out below the netbook, and has a refresh in specs (atom N450+ processor)

* Dell Mini 10v 1018 -- the latest iteration, the one in this video, that is basically the same look as the 1012 but with an all black bottom, a few less ports, upgrade to ddr3 memory, and FINALLY a touchpad with dedicated buttons!

Thanks so much for making this video. I successfully upgraded my RAM last night thanks to your help. Although, I have to admit I was holding my breath and saying a little prayer when I re-assembled and hit the On button.
