Removing an SDRAM Module
(User-Replaceable)
The notebook has no system memory built into its motherboard, but has 2 slots for SDRAM modules.
One slot contains an SDRAM module that was factory installed.
NOTE:
HP Pavilion ze5300, ze5200, ze4300, ze4200, and ze4100, HP Compaq nx9010, nx9005
and nx9000, Compaq Evo Notebook N1050v and N1010v, and Compaq Presario 2500, 2100, and
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

then remove the door.
