I have inherited an old Medion MD6488 laptop that is badged as a Cybermaxx MD6488 Model Number FID 2040 Notebook PC. It has hardly been used but only runs 32 bit XP. I would like to put Linux on it but it only has 512Mb ram which is very limiting even with lite distros.   Does anyone know how to upgrade the memory on this Notebook PC? Alternatively can anyone point me to a service manual which shows how to disassemble it to get to the ram. The bottom case is solid with the exception of the removable battery and no obvious sign of where the Dimms are located. I was able to remove the keyboard and found the hard drive hidden underneath but no memory slots.   Also what is strange is that CPUid reports 512Mb ram but only one dimm slot containing 256Mb under SPD tab. Is this a motherboard with 256Mb soldered directly to the board? Any help would be welcomed. Fozzie ... Meer weergeven
