It didn't start out as a repair but could easily turn into one if not careful. Decided to add 4GB of RAM to my HP Laptop, it was always a simple upgrade in every other computer I've owned. This time it was anything but simple, had to completely disassemble the laptop. These are the steps (from the HP manual) that you have to perform to add/replace memory modules on my laptop. Each step has it's own section in the manual that includes more detailed instructions.
One of my research projects when selecting a new laptop is to download the manual and make sure it is easy to replace memory and hard drive.
Most of them are a snap, so far it has been a short search. My Emachines E725 and Lenovo G710 were no trouble at all.
