Erm its a Toshiba L10 -300. I wouldnt have a clue how to put it on/in here though, how does it work?

Depends on the model. Usually it's either under the keyboard or under a cover underneath the laptop. Once you've got access, it's just a case of pushing some springs out the way and the old stuff pops out, then slotting the new stuff in and pushing down.

I'll do some research.

Edit:

Toshiba Equium L10-300
Supplied RAM: 512MB
Maximum RAM: 2048MB (2x 1024MB)
RAM required: DDR PC2700 SO-DIMM

I'll have a look and see what I've got during the week (probably Thursday but possibly sooner). I may have 2x 512MB of that, but I'm not sure.

In the meantime, I'll try and find a service manual and find out where the RAM slots are.

Thankyou, the model number if that helps is PSL17E - 00C008AV

Serial number 85060466W

My Dad could probably do it if I beg him. He's an electrical engineer, so as long as he knew how.

Thanks - I found it already - see above.

Dad shouldn't have any trouble. All that's needed is time, a screwdriver, and anti-static precautions.

OK, I'm not having much luck with manuals. Do you have the original CDs for it? Are there any manuals on those?

I probably do somewhere, but having moved im not sure where.
Can have a look tomorrow.

No rush. It'll take me a few days to get hold of the memory anyway. I just can't remember if it's PC2100 or PC2700 (I fear the former).
