Removing a SDRAM Module
(User-Replaceable)
The notebook has no system memory built into its motherboard, but has two slots for SDRAM
modules. One slot contains an SDRAM module that was factory installed.
Note
HP Pavilion ze4100, Compaq Evo Notebook 1010v, and Presario 1100 notebooks use only
DDR266 SDRAM modules. Using the wrong type of module prevents the notebook from booting.
Caution
Handle the SDRAM module only by its edges and provide proper grounding, or you might damage
the module through electrostatic discharge.
Required Equipment
•
#1 Phillips screwdriver.
Removal Procedure
1.
Unplug the AC adapter, if present, and then remove the battery.
2.
On the bottom of the notebook, loosen the captive screws holding the SDRAM door, and then
remove the door.
3.
Press outward on the latches at the sides of the SDRAM module to release it (the SDRAM module
pops up).
4.
Carefully pull the SDRAM module out of the connector.
