Hi, I have bought 2 x 1Gb RAM to upgrade. I have changed 1 x 256 Mb to 1 x 1Gb by removing the cover from underneath. However, I cannot access to install the other! From reading forum posts I guess it's accessible by removing the keyboard. Can you please advise how to safely remove the keyboard to install? I am nervous of prising the keyboard without instructions in case I cause damage.
Help appreciated

Hi I have sorted it! It's simple once you realise hoow the kayboard is fixed!

1.Undo the single screw underneath the laptop (marked K/B)

Turn the laptop back over.

2.There are 6 little black tabs that are spring loaded and you gently press each one away from the keys one by one while gentle lifting the keyboard. They are located as follows;
Left: By down arrow key
Top: By F1,F6,F11 & Insert keys
Right: By Page Down key

Gently lift the keyboard when free from the tabs (there is no need to disconnect the cable attaching the keyboard to the laptop).

Undo a single screw securing a plate to the laptop. The RAM slot is underneath this. Replace the RAM then complete the process in reverse.

Hope this helps others with the same problem!

Thanks for the explanation. I've the Amilo Pa1510 and trying to remove the keyboard.

I can see the tabs but at a loss to how you prise the tabs away while simultaneously lifting the keyboard. I don't want to damage anything so perhaps we could have a little more detail.

What tools do you use? Any tips?
