Sony Vaio PCG-21313L Adding RAM?

[amutuh1]

I just bought the Sony Vaio PCG-21313L (VPCM111AX) netbook. It comes with 1GB RAM but I want to go ahead and upgrade to the maximum of 2GB. There are no instructions on how to upgrade. I'm guessing they want it to be done by an authorized installer. I tried to open the case and I'm usually quite good at it but there must be some trick to it. All I managed to do was pry open the sides and peek in. Does someone who has one of these figured this out yet?

Thanks,

Brian

When you remove the battery. There are 2 pieces of black electrical tape (well camouflaged) to the left and right of the battery connector. Peel those off (I assume that this breaks warranty) and unscrew those 2 screws. As well as the other 2 to the far left and right. Flip netbook over and carefully remove keyboard. It stays attached, so be extremely careful. You can kinda rotate it perpendicular to original position and flip upside down as you rotate. Ram is right there, I assume u know what to do from here. Hope this helps. Is max upgrade 2gb? I have a 4gb, and cannot get it to work. Maybe this is the reason...

Ah... yes, I see the black tape covering the screw holes... that's what I couldn't find before. I will work on that later.

To answer your question, everything I read on this netbook says the max is 2GB.

Thank you... I dreaded having to pay some place to figure that out for me... especially when I already have the RAM.
