How do i get to the ram on my acer aspire 3100 to upgrade my ram

nope

Acer.com in the support section under drivers and software

Hi,
The first models of acer aspire one pro P531h-0Bk is not able to get more than 1gb RAM, but the revised model is able to get this. So you MUST consult with your IT dealer.

You can upgrade your Hard disk.

The Acer Aspire One can be upgraded to a total RAM of 2Gigs. This will allow for you to upgrade to Windows XP Pro and also to Microsoft Office 2003 as there is no version of Office Professional. If you would like more specifics on your particular model, please look here. http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/acer-aspire-one-10-inch.aspx?page=3

Upgrading RAM is a fairly simple process. As this is a fairly compact laptop in design, you will have to upgrade to a new 2Gig RAM module and basically discard (or sell) the one you end up removing. In order to find out the type of RAM you'll need, remove the cover as show in the picture and the info for the existing RAM should be written on it.

Good luck!

go to www.acer.com and you can download the manual for that laptop.... look in support and drivers.... it will tell you how to access the memory.

Thanks for choosing fixya.com

Your not alone in this type of problem. When it comes to computer (laptop especially) they usually have a "Max allowed ram" most times its listed in the back of the manual in small print. Its a way to keep people buying new computers (if your into the conspiracy theories)
Chances are even a bios upgrade would not fix your problem. Mostly BIOS upgrades add support for new boot options, plug and play support, and fixes to bugs in older versions.

You can check aspires/acers website for updates www.acer.com
If they have an update it will comes with documentation as to what the update does.

Hope this helps you out.

hi,

Ram is located back side of laptop

1st remove all power to the laptop. Remove the battery as well. Let it sit for 10 mins. This will reset it.

2nd Remove the RAM and re-seat the RAM. Known issue with all laptops

3rd Establish the fact the battery is charging with the power chord. Make sure where the power is plugged into the laptop, that it is not too loose. If so, the laptop may not be getting power at all.

G'luck

you cannot buy a card, the graphics are built into the motherboard, in other words onboard, but the costs will probably be more than anew notebook
