Yes, you can.
You can upgrade your Acer Aspire 5630-6760 Notebook (DDR2-533MHz) Laptop to up to a maximum of 4GB Memory, the system has 2 (2 banks of 1) to install Memory. For best Laptop performance use the maximum amount of allowed Memory per slot for your Laptop.

Hi allanstayzer,

You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 2GB. Just make sure the RAM you are buying is of the same specification as that of the one you have.

I googled you laptop specification. Your laptop will support any RAM of the following specification DDRII SDRAM 533MHz PC2-4200. (Just to make sure, this specification will be written on the RAM u already have). Though you'll have to remove one of the RAM to replace with the new one.

Hope this information was useful.

Thank you fox using fixya,

Arunzac

SOURCE: Can't upgrade an Acer Aspire 3000 notebook to 2 gb

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.
Jei

Acer Aspire 5630 - CMOS Jumper J3, Where is it?

Remove all ram memory modules.

The J3 Clear CMOS Jumper is in the middle of the ram memory compartment.

This is a link to a free Service Manual for the Aspire 5630 series of Notebook PC,

http://www.tim.id.au/blog/tims-laptop-service-manuals/#toc-acer

Go down to the second 'paragraph' that begins with Satellite 1200.
Go down to the 8th line in this paragraph. (Begins with 5538)
Go across, and left-click on 5630.

This is a PDF file.
It may take up to 30 seconds before the first page comes up.
It may also take additional time to download.

Using the PDF file page number box, go to Page 12, or Page 100.
Both pages are an illustration of the Bottom of the motherboard.
J3 is to the right/middle. (Under the ram memory. DIMM 1 and DIMM 2)

Install RAm

Hello

Go here http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/ and take a look at the manual for the aspire notebook 5630 (should be similar to yours)

On page 39 theres a diagram showing the base. You basically have to unscrew the memory compartment cover , remove the cover then slot the memory in and put the cover back. RAM upgrades are really easy!

If you found this solution helpful , please rate my solution below

Acer 5630 turns off repeatedly

Usually disassemble he laptop where the cooling fan is and the thermal guides are and blow them out with a can of compressed air. Many notebooks have a trap door on the bottom to do this.

Acer aspire 5600 does not boot up

If you upgraded RAM to 4GB that is exactly what is going to happen. The ACER 5601 AWMLi does NOT support 4GB. Flashing the bios will NOT solve this problem.
