Hi

I have a Inspiron 2200 laptop running WINDOWS xp service pack 2. It has 256 Ram and I purchased from crucial a 1 GB 200-PIN SODIMM 128mX64 DDR pc2700.

I have GONE on line and watched the videos and checked the manuals. It all looked so simple, however, I can not get the clips to release the DDR1 ONL Y. It does not pop up as seen in manual or video.

Am I looking in the right place? Do I have to remove the keyboard?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

the ram stick that is in the mother BOARD has a plastic clip on each end. Press down on the plastic clips. remove old ram. insert new Ram (be sure that the notch is in the right place) press down (on ram) until clips pop back into place. Make sure you follow anti static procedures.
Good Luck I feel so stupid. I thought I had to remove the old ram but did not.. it just went into the slots above the existing DDR on top. I just had to move the clips to set it in. dah!

Got it DONE!

Thanks for your reply.No reason to feel stupid at all....it's just something you hadn't done before.
We all started somewhere.
