I only just got a chance to look at this. Bart - you were bob on right about the location and the plastic foil! The memory module was under that with a slot for another. Going to order more memory now. Thanks to you & Luke for the help.   Best wishes, Jim ... Meer weergeven

Luke,   Excellent - helps a lot. Nice to see it has an official datasheet! When I get another chance to look at the machine I'll update here.   Many thanks, Jim ... Meer weergeven

Luke,   Thank you for looking into this.    2x  1GB DDR2 400MHz 200 PIN SO-DIMM PC2-3200S   On the site I quoted on my original post they are selling 1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz 200-pin SODIMM for this device So I guess I could try & find a match for original RAM or buy 2 of the 667MHz modules above.   On the back plate of machine is S/N: KNB721001174 - hopefully that is same as MSN you asked for & will uniquely identify the device. No sign of an MD number - perhaps these were introduced after 2007?   I attach photo of back plate.   Please let me know if you need any other identifiers.   Thanks again, Jim   ... Meer weergeven

Bart,   Thanks for the further advice - much appreciated. I wondered what could be under there. On cursory inspection it didn't look designed for removal but if you've seen similar before then that's very good to know. Next time I get my hands on the machine I'll try to lift it - carefully as you say and will post the outcome.   All the best, Jim ... Meer weergeven

I opened up the back panel but can't see any RAM. There are quite a few screws around the outside of the laptop bottom. Don't know whether to try them or go for the keyboard. I've seen a YouTube video on removing a keyboard - I guess it would be a similar procedure for mine...   Thanks for reading. ... Meer weergeven

Bart,   Many thanks for taking the time to look at this. I've only just had another reply from Medion Support, this time much more helpful. They reckon I can get access to both slots under the bottom battery compartment as you suggest. I'll have a go & if any problems will post some photos.   You're right, it is an old notebook but I'm hoping to breathe a little bit more life into it.   All the best, Jim     ...
