Tecra SI Memory Upgrade help request

gcgrimes · 10-18-2009, 04:03 AM

I have a Toshiba Tecra S1 with 512 Mb of Ram PC2100 DDR non-ecc.
I have checked crucial.com and been informed that the system will hold two 1 gb memory modules and that it will perform fine with pc2700 ddr non-ecc ram.

Problem is that turning the laptop over and removing the screw over the memory module I only see one memory stick and one memory slot. Any ideas on how to access the second slot and how to remove/replace the existing ram stick?

The way the ram is placed on the motherboard is unfamiliar to me.

I find myself unfamiliar with laptop basics. I am fairly competent with desktop upgrade and repair items.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Figured it out myself. Thanks anyway. Actually quite simple once you get over the fact that it's weird looking inside a laptop.
