Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Crucial Technology CT25664AC800 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory ModuleCustomer Review: Works for HP Mini 210-1000 HD and 110-1030NR Summary: 5 Stars
Edit March 2010:
Look Ma, no screws! For some reason Crucial isn't showing the recommended memory for the HP Mini 210 netbooks yet. Their program will recognize that I have a 210, but it acts as if it doesn't know what that would require. I used the Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade on my HP Mini 210 HD Netbook. So I did some research and first I tried to upgrade to Crucial CT51264AC800 4GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory Module knowing that the Mini would only recognize about 3GB but thinking that would still be good. The computer didn't recognize it at all. It wouldn't turn back on with the 4GB RAM inserted. I'm guessing my CPU speed of 1.66 GHz is too low or maybe the fact that I'm 32bit and not 64? I'm just kinda self-taught and wingin' it, so... So I paid return shipping since it wasn't Amazon's fault and tried again, this time with this item, Crucial Technology CT25664AC800 2GB 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory Module, the same one I used on my HP Mini 110-1030NR Netbook (instructions below) and it works beautifully.
The HP Mini 210 is designed with no vents in the bottom, so now that I've purchased a smaller set of screwdrivers, I don't need them. You simply power off the computer, remove the battery, and push in the two little orange buttons you'll see revealed under the battery area. Apply a little pressure and pop off the bottom piece first on one side and then the other, making sure you've pushed the orange buttons in first. Then you can carefully pop off the remainder until the entire single piece is removed from the bottom of the computer. I was a little worried about this since it's plastic but it's a very strong plastic and I've removed it four times now with no sign of stress. Push out the retaining tabs on either side of the memory module, and it'll sort of pop up. Lift it out, and put your new memory in the same way. Push it down flat, making sure the two tabs snap back into place. When you put the bottom piece back on the computer, make sure you work backwards from the last point forward. You want to line up the entire edge opposite the battery side, make sure those tabs are in, then work your way forward to end with the last pieces around the battery area. I didn't do this the first time and couldn't get all the tabs to fit.
Original review September 2009:
I have never had a problem with Crucial memory, and you can't beat the price for the quality. It was quite simple to replace the 1GB of RAM that came with my HP Mini 110-1030NR Netbook with this 2GB module... even if you feel like you have absolutely NO idea about computer hardware, you CAN do this. It couldn't be simpler. For a notebook/netbook, power everything down, unplug anything external, and remove the battery. Then remove the panel that covers the RAM (with my HP Mini I only needed a #0 Phillips screwdriver) push out the two clips that are holding in the current module, and it just pops right out! Put the new one in exactly the same way, screw the panel back on, and you're off and running. I do recommend using an anti-static wrist strap, such as the Belkin Anti-Static Wrist Band with Adjustable Grounding, just to be safe.
After you've powered everything back up again, right-click on your "My Computer" or "Computer" icon (on the Start Menu if you're running Windows), and click on Properties. You should now be able to see and confirm your RAM upgrade.
For those of you wondering if a certain memory module will work with your computer, just go to Crucial's web site, let it detect your computer or type in the computer model that you're hoping to upgrade, and their system will tell you exactly what RAM modules and sizes will be compatible with your computer. Then you can price it out and end up buying it on Amazon :)
