magitronic 630 laptop

[treb54]

Trying to do a memory upgrade. Does anyone have any idea how to get to the memory in a magitronic 630, short of using a sledge hammer? Thanks for any help.

If it isn't behind a panel on the bottom, it's usually under the keyboard. Keyboards are usually easier to remove than they appear. Look for a removable bezel arounf the keyboard, remove it and then look for screws.

Doesnt look like anything removable around the keyboard. I'm sure its simple.

Thanks for the help.

Try looking for a couple of tiny retractable pips on the bottom or top edge of the keyboard between the keyboard and laptop surround. Use a thin screwdriver or similar to push them in, one at a time while gently levering the keyboard up after each pip slides home cos they pop straight back out

Nothing there.

Thanks

Try looking for the manual online. Thats what I had to do with my lappy.;)

That's gonna be his problem - I had a look and it seems that they are rare!!

Anyway, treb54 - in that case another thing to look for - no I haven't got a hang up about the keyboard :))

Insert a thin screwdiver between the top or bottom edge of the keyboard about an inch in from either end or the middle and gently push - the keyboard may have it's own sprung loaded clips which are not visible but retract under pressure. Failing all this, any chance of a picture link maybe??

Some information here, but not much useful for the 630 model.

Apparently, Clevo Computer Company acquired Magitronic. Not sure if you'll get any support from them.
