How to upgrade memory

Does anybody here know how to open this netbook to upgrade the memory? I know it only has 1 socket of 1 GB DDR3. So that means I need 1 stick of 2 GB memory. I unscrewed the 3 screws at the bottom of laptop but the case wouldn't not open to reveal the inside. Any idea how to open this netbook?

SOURCE: No display after upgrading RAM

Are you saying that there are only 2 slots for ram or 4, if 4 then you may have a dual channel lap top, in which case you need all of the ram to match, they all have to be the same exact ram.you cant mix and match, also is the bios recent, it sounds like you may need a bios flash if the laptop isn't recent.And there may be a limitation on the amount of ram it takes, I just setup a brand new acer and it only two gig max, see if they offer a bios update

You may have installed a memory card or stick (unit) that is not compatible with your computer. Make sure the unit is compatible, as you cannot add just any brand of memory upgrade units to any computer. They have to be compatible.

I suggest visiting the store of where it was purchased or a computer store, or possibly the manufacturer of the computer to find out what memory units are compatible.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

probably no, 32 bit systems have an under 4Gb limit. looks like 2 memory slots 1,2,4 and 8Gb supported.

HP pc 1 short beep 1 long beep?

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02222922

is the coin cell , 3v? or 2v , 2.9v and up is good, lower not.

the memory rules on all PCs is complex , just because it fits means nothing.
2010 PC DT
windows 7 32bit?

do all PSU voltages read correct with a voltmeter?
they must be in spec,.
memory
240pin DDR3 DIMM 800MHz Memory
low density only maybe a limit here.
so you want 8GB up
2GB per slot.
there are 3 kinds on voltage alone, low, high and both
then speed,
sure forum factor DDR3 240s
but there are density limits and socket max limits and system max limits
if running windows 7, 32bit its limited to 3.5? GB.
so 8 is a waste there.
if running windows 7, 64bit then it can use full memory.
if the bios allows it
and the Processor MMC chip allows it.
see? there are complex limits on all PCs.
in this case AMD processor.
Athlon II X4
limits on this mobo are.
HP spec page

Supports 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB DDR3 DIMMs per socket
  • Supports Dual channel memory architecture
  • Supported speeds
    • PC3-10600 @ 1333 MHz*
    • PC3-8500 @ 1066 MHz *DDR3-1333 modules run at 1066 MHz if three or more modules are installed.
  • Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
  • Supports up to 16 GB on 64-bit PCs (DIMMs run at DDR3-1066)
  • Supports up to 4 GB* on 32-bit PCs


so what memory did you buy, and from whom.
name make model numbers exactly.

I think its coin Cell bad
or PSU bad , not memory.
if one stick fails its not that stick if
you now are buried in sticks, if all sticks fail in just slot
its not memory prob. its power.
for sure all original stick fail as one.

I need to know which is the part number of the DDR3 bulded iside the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 0301-GQG leptop?

Manufacturer Part: 55Y3706

2 GB (installed) / 4 GB (max) - DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz - PC3-8500 ( 1 x 2 GB )

So you need DDR3 SDRAM at 1066Nhz PC3-8500

If you are running 64bit Software then upgrade to 8GB (2 X 4GB sticks) otherwise your OS may not recognise any more that 2 MB
