| here are the instructions that a kind soul shared with me
remove ac power and battery.
1. six screws or so on the bottom underneath the palmrest area, unscrew and remove.
2. remove memory card and pcmcia inserts.
3. grab palmrest just below the space bar and pull up and back gently, the palmrest should pop up. the touchpad has a cable connector, try to leave it in place and just flip the palmrest back.
4. slide the keyboard back and up to remove - also has a cable connector that you could leave in place. otherwise, gently pull up on the connector holder (will slide up slightly) to remove the cable.
5. the RAM slot is just under a foil cover on most of those models, you should be able to add ram there. some of the older versions, you may have to remove the metal shield that covers the ram/cpu, just depends. if so, it's pretty obvious where the screws are. if necessary, there may also be one more screw on the bottom of the laptop that would have to be removed to remove the metal shield.
6. reinstall the keyboard cable and test with ac power before putting it all back together. make sure you can get into the bios and that the keyboard input is recognized before reassembly.
