Looks like you have the right kind...they have to match you know...you could try 2/1g sticks instead...

The easiest way to see what kind of memory and the amount of memory your computer can handle is to go to the Crucial Memory website (www.crucial.com) and click on the Scan my System. It will tell you the number of slots your system has, the capacity of each slot, and the type and speed of RAM that can be used.

www.crucial.com

Each memory slot can hold DDR PC3200 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*

Maximum Memory: 2048MB

Slots: 2 (2 banks of 1)

Standard Memory: 256 or 512MB removable

USB Support: 2.x Compliant

No crucial is counting the slot with the memory in it along with the empty slot and gives you a total of 2 memory slots.

I dont know this particular model, but usually it's underneath the computer, there is one screw to remove and you can take out a door which gives you acess to the memory slots. If it's not there, you will need to remove the top cover to get there. But it's most likely a small door underneath the laptop.

Hi there.
Look at this picture >>>>
The memory slots are more or less on top of each other.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

You got two memory ports. One on the bottom of the unit.The second one is on top of your Notebook. To reach it you have to remove the keyboard. There are three small points on the top of the keyboard to unlock it. Under the keyboard you will find a metal protector with one screw which protects the second ram...
By the way: The Bios only recognizes up to 2 of ram.
