In this guide I explain how to upgrade RAM in HP Compaq nc8430, nw8440 and nx8420 notebooks.
In my example I’m using a Compaq nc8430 which came with 1 GB (two 512MB modules).
This model can take up to 4GB total. You can install up to 2GB memory module into each slot.

If you cannot find PC-4200 DDR2-533 memory, you can use PC-5300 PC-6400. They should work.

I will explain how to find correct parts for this repair at the end of the guide.
In this guide I will disassemble a HP 530 Notebook PC and remove the top cover assembly. I’m replacing the top cover because one of the touch pad buttons is broken. When you press on the button it feels loose and sometimes will not click. The button is a part of the top cover.
In order to replace it I will have to disassemble the whole computer. I’ll be removing all internal parts including hard drive, keyboard, motherboard, cooling fan and other key components.

It is possible to take apart the display while it’s still attached to the base but it will be harder to remove the bezel.
