Hi Monkey200SX You can download the maintenance an service guide direct from HP for this as a pdf Evo N610c.pdf Hope this helps
cheers for that, did look on HP's site, but i couldnt find anything but i will look again as the link does not work. Edit: link worked third time, weve just had our computers at work changed and a whole new server with procected access...... blah blah blah
If you still need help the memory slots are below the keyboard (not underneath it) to the right of the track pad. The "tabs" that hold the lid down can be seen if you look at the bottom left of the keyboard area. You'll need something like a flatblade screw driver somewhat small to remove the lid.
all done and working, it was easy when i knew how, cos in the spec for the N600 (model down) there is a panel under neath where the ram sits thats held in with 2 screws, but in the N610c that panel is for ther Mini PCI modem, thats where i was getting confused. but its all done and works, that guide is very good thanks again
