thank you for your precise manual. According to your detailed instructions I replaced my RAMs within 10 minutes and upgraded my DELL D830 from 2 GB to 4 GB memory. This is worth to donate.

I bought My laptop and it was upgraded from a Windows XP to a Windows 7 ( but is still a Dell Latitude d520) will this make a difference?

Nice tutorial! Helps a lot.

A general #00 cross point screwdriver is needed in order to remove the three keyboard screws and a 1.8mm will help opening the lid.

My Ubuntu is happy now with 4GB!

I just installed two KVR800D2S6/2G 6400 CL6 Kingston SO/DIMMs and everything went fine thanks to you!

Thanks for the clear, concise directions, without which I would *never* have found DIMM slot A. Your info made it an easy job and everything went flawlessly. I hit the tip jar, and encourage everyone else to do the same. 🙂

Thank you very much! It worked fine for me (4GB) and now my laptop runs Windows7!

However I noticed that the centre-bottom edge of the screen (at the sign “DELL”) gets really hot (maybe at the possible lcd inverter possition). I don’t think that was happening before memory upgrade. I’m not sure anyway. Is this normal or not? May I caused this problem? Can I solve that?

Thank you

Thank you very much for this tutorial. However, some information is outdated: My D830 runs just fine with 5 gig (4+1). The trick was the following:
* Have a current Bios
* put the 4 gig module in Slot B
Thanks go to Speicherbauer.de where I bought the module.

Thank you so much for the video. I’ve never taken a laptop apart but needed to replace my (2) 1G’s on the Dell with (2) 2G’s. After following your tutorial and booting it up, the middle diagnostic light blinked and the laptop wouldn’t start. I switched the two 2G modules around and tried again – Voila, success. Somewhat of a nusiance to remove the keyboard but worth it. Thanks again for the info.
