Thanks for the awesome guide! Very helpful.

Just in case any one else had the same problem, after adding RAM I got the following message after boot.

The amount of system memory has changed.
If you did not change your memory…
To resolve this issue, try to reseat the memory

The solution was to be patient. After a minute or so it will beep twice and let you enter setup or continue.

Unfortunately I dropped my xpsm1210 breaking the top cover where the touchpad goes and also the bottom,black part at the back near to slot for the kensington lock and modem jack. In addition to what was shown in this post what else will I have to do to replace these parts. I already have the parts in question but IÂ´m a bit hesitant to attempt it without a guide. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this. It was useful. Just upgraded my M1210 and … it still works!! I didn’t break it! 🙂

Thanks again.

In reply to Alicia. Alicia, What is your laptop model? Sounds like compatibility issue. Have you tried those memory sticks one by one in your laptop?

Hi,

I have 2 (2GB) ram on the front and the back set up (they’re the correct ram from crucial), but once everything is installed, the num lock and cap lock lights blinks 45 times or 45 secs, the hard drive runs but the comp isn’t on. The BIOS have been updated from A01 to A03. Is there anything I’m missing?

Thank you!

In reply to atmoises. atmoises, You can install it into either slot. There will be no difference. You can have 2GB memory in the slot under the keyboard and 1GB in the bottom slot or vice versa.

Just wondering if you can tell me WHERE the CMOS battery is on a Compaq V5207NR Laptop.
I know it’s on the motherboard but does the board have to come completely OUT of the case?

I was looking for exploded viewes of this laptop online and can’t find one anywhere! I just replaced a CMOS battery on a Dell Inspiron 1526 and that battery was on the opposite side of the motherboard, requiring the complete removal of the motherboard just to change that bat.

Crazy designs! But, that’s what us computer repair technicians get paid for right? : )

Thanks!!
