i have 2x 2048 MB Kingston RAM lying next to me. The first one is no problem to build in, but where is the second RAM slot?
Do I have to remove the keyboard? Would be very nice, if someone could please help me. I didn't find anything in the documents delivered together with the notebook!
Best regards -

There is only one problem, the document said "gently lift the top edge of the keyboard", but you can't lift it gently, since it's glued with a very powerful glue to the optical drive enclosure, in the numeric keypad area.
I have to use a fair amount of force to lift it, and it also came partially out with the top of the optical drive enclosure, the aluminum plate was bent partially.
Then I had to use even more force to separate the keyboard from the aluminum plate, at times I was very afraid I will break it.
Finally it came out, the keyboard was in one piece, but the optical bay enclosure was bent slightly and open in half.
I pushed the optical drive enclosure back and it seemed to stick (there was probably some glue between the two parts).
Then I upgraded the RAM, assembled everything back, but now the right side of the keyboard, the numeric keypad, was not horizontal, and was slightly open at the top edge.
I applied pressure to the right side of the keyboard, and it seems OK now.
So that's what HP means buy "lift gently". I'm sure there was a better solution than gluing the keyboard to the optical drive enclosure, I don't know, maybe some Velcro tape, or put both memory modules on the back of the laptop.
Anyway, I'm glad my Laptop still works after the upgrade. But I'm not sure I want to ever do this again.
