Upgrading RAM - eeepc 1008HA - to 2GB - Part 2

Here is the part 2 of the video where I connect all things back in the netbook after replacing the 1GB RAM by 2GB RAM.
Part 1 showed the details on opening the book and replacing the RAm.

@rohitbhosale: What editing SW did you use to do the skips, is it Pinnacle Studio ?

[rohitbhosale]

I used Windows Movie Maker 2.6

haven't measured really ... have used it least for 4 hours without battery ... but let me do a full length test and comment back

I've always wondered how Asus would do the upgrades. From your video, you guys did an excellent job in demonstrating that with a little time & patiences that upgrading a RAM could be done. Interesting to see whether you guys could upgrade the SSD too? Good job! And hope to see more from you soon. By the way, do you know how to upgrade a HP 2140? If so, please let me know. Thanks!

[rohitbhosale]

Thanks for the appreciation. I am afraid, I do not have any experience with HP2140 - however if i come across any, i shall post it too.

The very first eee pc had an sticker saing that memory upgrade would void warranty. The feedback from consumers were so negative that they gave up the idea.

Now, they create this level of difficulty just to annoy the consumer... Putting a door on the underside would be so easy. Boo to Asus.

1GB is barely acceptable to an XP machine. Put vista or even 7, it'll crawl...

[rohitbhosale]

hmm ... one of the customer care guy said to me that they made it tiny and so light that they had to take away these thingies ...

really not an convincing answer .. thre was no reason why they could not put that panel at the bottom!

Thanks very much! What a fiddle...just started it up now, so fingers crossed!

Thank you very much for that good video! Everything was going right. Only i had to take out RAM after i completed my first installation. But then ... it run perfektly.

Thank you

Damn, I did everything you said. Turned on my pc, no display, only the blue light power button. After that dissasmbled again, did the whole proces over. Now it even won't turn on or charge...

Can somebody please help me?

....however computer will not shut down now. After it seems it's turned off, it will reboot after a ~second. Been working on trying to fix this for hours...no luck. There are some reports about Crucial memory causing this issue on 1005 models. Those affected were able to put things back in normal by reinstalling original memory back in. Not in my case, problem continued with the old memory.

It turns off by pressing and holding power button. Now I log off and then press and hold power to turn off

Very helpful, thank you! Upgrade was a breeze. I used a plastic painters spatula to open the case. That way it didn't leave marks on the case and it has very fine edge that allowed for running it along the edge of the case and getting it to open fairly easy.

Good video. Keep it up. Just a couple of comments. First of all, those gloves are not necessary, just use an "earth strap" - those gloves are not antistatic and could build up static themselves, much more than your body could build up !!! Secondly, it is recommendable to try powering up the laptop before reassembling. Finally I wouldn't recommend impatient and careless people to try this upgrade even though it looks fairly simple.

Great guide !!!

Many thanks rohitbhosale from my new 2GB Seashell !!!

[TubeHacker01]

It would feel shitty if the computer diddn't recognise the ram after putting all that shit together... XD

[kerihollywood]

Well done !!!

Thank you, now I will see if I can upgrade my Asus.

Just cut a hole at the bottom vent to access the memory stick. Thats what I'd do
