Hi guys

Im having a bit of a chrisis

I've never installed RAM into a laptop. Today I bought 512MB RAM for my thinkpad T41p, but I havent got a clue how to install them.

The mounting brackets look a littel flimsy, and im a bit afraid to use violence.

Sadly, the IBM support site is down, so i cant find the video

Please help

It's simple buddy

but I understand why someone would be hestitant at first. I was too when I installed my first stick. Just insert at an angle until you don't think it'll go any further, give it a little extra push just to make sure and then gently push it down/rotate it until it's lying flat.

It was a piece of cake

But still, i wanted to be careful not to break anything

I was definitely hesitant too. I couldn't believe how easy it was.
