Memory hi im struggling to get memory into my computer,i know that it is under keyboards,but how do i get under keyboard,regards chris

The Advent Quantum Q100 laptop has one Ram memory slot.
The Maximum Total Amount of Ram Memory is 2GB.
It uses SO-DIMM ram memory that is DDR2 at 667 MegaHertz. (667MHz)
Also known as PC2-5300 {SO-DIMM style}

The Ram Memory slot is under the Keyboard.

Past this point I am at a loss to describe how to remove the Keyboard.

1) Either you have to remove the LED cover above the Keyboard, and below the LCD screen to access screws which hold the Keyboard in place, (Computer off, and ALL power removed. AC adapter {Charger}, and Battery),

OR,

2) The LED cover (Power On button, LED's, etc, are in the cover), has to be removed, and there may be one, or two screws coming up from the bottom of the laptop, which hold the Keyboard in place.

I would contact acer and talk to their tech support, so they can send you a new one. It seems to me that is a default computer, which means it's broken.

You can download instructions on replacing or adding memory (is a Powerpoint presentation).

If I could be offurther assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rateit and give a testimonial for my response.

Most laptops are this way, but yours may be a special case.
Most have two ports one is underneath a removable panel on the bottom of the computer, and the other is under neath the keyboard. To remove, look to see if you can remove the area between the keyboard and screen, if not find a screw or screws on the bottom of the keyboard labeled "k", once those are off the keyboard is loose and is just lifted off.

Always remember to not prey to hard,if it is going to come off it will come off without struggle, and have your battery and power disconnected first, and the computer is off...

how to check the Ram slot location
1) most laptop have two slots at back, so no other slot under the keyboard
2) some laptop has onboard Ram(on the surface of motherboard) ,if you see one slot at back so no any slot under the keyboard
3) if the laptop no any slot at back it should be one or two slot under the keyboard
your laptop no ram slot under the keyboard
hope it help you to improve your idea

Here is how to upgrade ram on E-System 3086/Advent 8109 laptop.

You have to remove the keyboard, under the keyboard to the left is a heat shield (silver metal cover), remove it. Your ram is located there. Just take your time and remember where the screws go.

Hi

Yes, you can replace/upgrate the memory module under the keyboard.

Before you proceed, note that Dell Inspiron 2650 uses DDR200 3.3V SODIMM modules. Also, memory module capacities supported are 128MB and 256MB with a Maximum memory of 512MB. If the current memory installed is 128MB, you need to order 2x 256MB modules to replace/upgrade both memory slots. If the installed capacity is 256MB, you just need another 256MB for the slot underneath the laptop.

Check "Removing the Keyboard" for guide removing the keyboard to access the 2nd memory slot.

Read "Preparing to Work Inside the Computer" before committing to the above procedure.

Let me know how you get on.
