i got my asus last week and it has worked fine; so i decided to upgrade my memory. i too; now only have a black screen; comes on, but won't do anything. i've also tried putting my old memory in that it came with; but again no luck. i know that the booster was disabled; because i had just set up my wireless internet card. now; do i just need to send this back; i am very frustrated with something that cost this much and something that should have been so easy. Help!!

i took it to the geek squad at best buy (in london uk) and they fixed it w/ no problem, it SHOULD be an easy thing to do, but obviously it is not, it's a bit tricky, i would take it somewhere RELIABLE and have them do it, should not cost that much

Thanks B. Liao, I have sorted it, well, that is, I took it to Best Buy and the "Geeks" sorted it!

This happened to me too, but I was able to startup with the 1GB card. Then I followed instructions on page 16 to disable boot booster before installing the 2GB card. This worked and I am now good. Hopefully this helps you as well as others.

Hello Cat,Thanks to Michael's help, I realised my neglect, but it was impossible to start it again. I was lucky that my netbook was within a month of sale. I had a replacement from Amazon. Still, I dare not try it again since there is no service provider in my town. I will take it to the service provider when I go to Shanghai China. I am sorry I may disappoint you.

Thanks a lot for the kindly help. I did read over the whole manual. The netbook worked pretty good and was very easy to handle. I forgot the warning. The previous reviewers were focused on opening the tab to find the screw. I hope our experience will remind the others of the warning. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Michael, how did you start up with the 1GB card? I am still on black screen with my old 1GB card? I cannot get in to disable the boot booster, or to do anything!, as all I get is the black screen. Thanks!!!

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

anyone who says that a 2GB memory won't speed up your netbook don't know what their talking about. use the PC2-6400 800MHz memory. If you don't mind spending the extra 43 bucks then get it, you'll be happy you did.

I used it on my netbook 32bit 1gb ram and it worked no problem however be warned the install takes a loooong time. Also I'd suggest getting a 4gb stick while your at it since you cannot have more than 4 gb with this upgrade. the difference for me was day and night

There is a very small screw which releases a panel on the bottom of the netbook which will allow you to get into the memory compartment. I have not ventured in there yet, but there is only one access panel on the bottom of the netbook and one little screw. Seems pretty basic and easy to do from what I hear and my experience with other laptop memory upgrades.

I just installed 32gb of this memory in my Lenovo W540 (2 sets of 2x8gb) and it works. Pro-tip: when you start up after installing the RAM nothing will seem to happen (no Lenovo logo). Wait up to a minute before giving up. I swapped ram in and out for half an hour before I heard the POST might take a while with 32gb of new RAM. Sure enough, after about 40 seconds the Lenovo logo appeared and everything went well. Another Pro-tip: make sure you have at least Windows 7 Pro. Windows 7 Home will only see 16GB.

Thank you very much for your concern about my purchase. Sorry to respond late. The memories work fine with the installed components. I hope this will be of much help. Regards Marcelo

Hit F2 until you enter into the BIOS screen. When you first boot the PC keeping hitting F2 until you get there. Check to see if the memory reading is 2048 then hit F10 to save and escape... Let the PC boot normally then go into your Control Panel, click on the "System" icon and then a "Systems Properties" window should show up and under the "General" tab towards the bottom you can confirm that Windows sees your 2 GB of RAM. For some reason...you have to go into your BIOS screen and save and escape to have Windows acknowledge the RAM change. I hope this helps.

I had the same question. It's hard to find information. You just open a door on the back of the unit by the serial number and windows stickers. One screw. This exposes the 1 GB card. You pull this out and plug in the 2GB card. Should take about 10 minutes at the most. Check setup to make sure it recognizes the extra memory.

I picked up 2 2 GB, only one would work at a time, so I only have 3 GB in my computer 1 GB original and 1 2GB new addition, with a 2 GB spare, because the new 2+2 would not work at one time.

I have been quite happy with my ASUS 1015PED Netbook that I actually never ended up purchasing this memory upgrade. I did shop around a little more and found that this one still is the most recemended. It is a great deal as well, which is why it is usually out of stock.I would recomend this one and I may still get this one. However for right now, I upgraded my ASUS netbook to Windows 7 Professional and it runs great. No need for more memory right now.Sorry I can't be of more help.

Sorry to be answering so late.The only thing I changed, that I remember is the boot order. I made sure it looked for the disk first. I also found that the company helped, they even responded with an email. Hope this helped.

Not sure about that specific memory kit. I upgraded mine as well and it boots quickly. If you have reseated kit, I would presume a bad or incompatible kit (or worse a broken SAN). Good luck!

found this link - which says - there is only one screw at the bottom which gives access to RAM. Could you also please post pictures/video while upgrading the RAM is possible.http://www.nerdycomputers.com/laptop/asus-eee-pc-1015ped-pu17-bu-10-1-inch-blue-netbook-up-to-13-hours-of-battery-life/

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

type into taskbar the following http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/Default.aspx?DeviceType=7&Mfr;=GIG&Line;=GA-M68MT-S2P&Model;=67180&Description;=Kingston_ValueRam_Memory_for_GIG_GA-M68MT-S2P_Gigabyte_-_GA-M68MT-S2P_Motherboard. THIS is for your motherboard specs. If that does not work go to Kingston.com under hyperblue motherboard search and type in your model #. HOPE THIS HELPS, IT IS THE BEST FOR THE PRICE MEMORY I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT good luck

The usual answer is netbooks are very picky about the memory you use for an upgrade. Try to match the make, speed for the upgrade (might have to use real Dell or maybe Kingston). Here's Dell PN: Product Description Dell memory - 2 GB - SO DIMM 204-pin - DDR3 Storage Capacity 2 GB Upgrade Type System specific OEM Manufacturer Equivalent Part Number DELL A5622175 Technology DDR3 SDRAM Form Factor SO DIMM 204-pin Memory Speed 1333 MHz ( PC3-10600 ) Data Integrity Check Non-ECC
