Title: How to Install Dell Inspiron 2100 Memory
Post by: keyboardsale on April 26, 2011, 04:54:05 AM

Install Memory for a Dell Inspiron 2100 Memory Module.The only way to expand the memory on the Dell Inspiron 2100 laptop is to replace the default module with one that has a larger capacity. There is only one memory module on this laptop, and it's mounted on the motherboard, which makes this procedure slightly more difficult than installing base-mounted memory. Though this is the case, the module is easily accessed and the job shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes to perform.

          * 1

            Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cable.
          * 2

            Unplug the peripheral devices from their power sources and remove the battery from the bay in the front part of the base.
          * 3

            Locate the Dell Inspiron 2100 Laptop Keyboard (http://www.any-battery.com/replacement-for-dell-latitude-2100-keyboard-us-layout-p-21471.html) bezel release hole on the right side of the keyboard bezel (the plastic strip that runs across the top of the keyboard) and insert a paper clip into it. Press down on the bezel at the same time and slide the bezel to the left until you can remove it from the computer.
          * 4

            Extract the four screws at the top of the keyboard.
          * 5

            Lift the top of the Dell Inspiron 2100 Laptop Keyboard (http://www.any-battery.com/replacement-for-dell-latitude-2100-keyboard-us-layout-p-21471.html) and gently pull it toward the display to disengage the tabs at the bottom of the keyboard. You'll see a flat cable underneath the keyboard that runs into the motherboard.
          * 6

            Disconnect the flat cable and remove the keyboard from the computer.
          * 7

            Locate the memory module in the middle of the space vacated by the keyboard and spread the retainers on it so that the module pops up at an angle.
          * 8

            Pull the module straight out of the port and insert the new one at an angle.
          * 9

            Press down on the module until the retainers snap into its sides.
          * 10

            Replace the Dell Inspiron 2100 Laptop Keyboard (http://www.any-battery.com/replacement-for-dell-latitude-2100-keyboard-us-layout-p-21471.html) by connecting the flat cable, laying the keyboard in its space and inserting the screws.
          * 11

            Slide the bezel back on the computer from the left to the right.
          * 12

            Replace the battery, the power cable, plug in the peripheral devices and the computer is ready for use.

Thanks for sharing this post about installing a memory in Dell Inspiron 2100. However, I feel that it would be  really great to consult help of professionals, if you have never installed memory yourself.
