i got my asus last week and it has worked fine; so i decided to upgrade my memory. i too; now only have a black screen; comes on, but won't do anything. i've also tried putting my old memory in that it came with; but again no luck. i know that the booster was disabled; because i had just set up my wireless internet card. now; do i just need to send this back; i am very frustrated with something that cost this much and something that should have been so easy. Help!!

i took it to the geek squad at best buy (in london uk) and they fixed it w/ no problem, it SHOULD be an easy thing to do, but obviously it is not, it's a bit tricky, i would take it somewhere RELIABLE and have them do it, should not cost that much

Thanks B. Liao, I have sorted it, well, that is, I took it to Best Buy and the "Geeks" sorted it!

This happened to me too, but I was able to startup with the 1GB card. Then I followed instructions on page 16 to disable boot booster before installing the 2GB card. This worked and I am now good. Hopefully this helps you as well as others.

Hello Cat,Thanks to Michael's help, I realised my neglect, but it was impossible to start it again. I was lucky that my netbook was within a month of sale. I had a replacement from Amazon. Still, I dare not try it again since there is no service provider in my town. I will take it to the service provider when I go to Shanghai China. I am sorry I may disappoint you.

Thanks a lot for the kindly help. I did read over the whole manual. The netbook worked pretty good and was very easy to handle. I forgot the warning. The previous reviewers were focused on opening the tab to find the screw. I hope our experience will remind the others of the warning. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Michael, how did you start up with the 1GB card? I am still on black screen with my old 1GB card? I cannot get in to disable the boot booster, or to do anything!, as all I get is the black screen. Thanks!!!

not true. I have a dell mini 10 inch netbook 1 gb memory and it buffers and the quality is awful. it stops and starts, not a smooth picture so you should be careful about answering this question with such conviction. it depends on what netbook and how much power it has

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!

Your computer uses PC2-4200 DDR2 memory. This memory will work on your computer. Please make sure you have enough available memory slots (2) for the new 1GB (X2) modules. If not, you could remove two smaller RAM modules and replace them with your new memory pair.

I have 2 1GB Dimms working in an Acer Power 1000. They were plug and play for me. I had two of these systems and both worked fine. This will not help you?!? If this Dimm is listed as compatible (DDR2 PC2 5300), you might need to tweaks some of the memory setting such as ECC (error correction), access speed, etc in your bios, but be sure to record your current setting so you can return if necessary.

Good Morning, As I am not framilar with the ASUS netbook, I do not know what type memory modules are used The manual should be available should be available on-line and will tell you which type of memory modules are used. Sorry could not be more helpful. Andy

Just installed the 2G memory but computer did not detect the change. How do you enter the BIOS?

I have been quite happy with my ASUS 1015PED Netbook that I actually never ended up purchasing this memory upgrade. I did shop around a little more and found that this one still is the most recemended. It is a great deal as well, which is why it is usually out of stock.I would recomend this one and I may still get this one. However for right now, I upgraded my ASUS netbook to Windows 7 Professional and it runs great. No need for more memory right now.Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had the same question. It's hard to find information. You just open a door on the back of the unit by the serial number and windows stickers. One screw. This exposes the 1 GB card. You pull this out and plug in the 2GB card. Should take about 10 minutes at the most. Check setup to make sure it recognizes the extra memory.

Open control panel and choose "add/remove" programs...scroll down to the program you want to uninstall and click yes to the uninstall option. It's a good idea to reboot your computer once that is done. The NB505 has one slot for memory you will need to open the back of your netbook and remove the one gig stick already in that slot, then insert the 2 gig stick. No, it does not have to be from Toshiba but stick with the better known brands of Crucial or Kingston...$33 is about average for a compatible 2 gig stick. I ordered mine from Crucial through Amazon..."CT25664AC800 2 GIG 200-pin SODIUM DDR2-6400 Memory Module." I don't recall any instructions with the netbook but they will come with the memory stick. Be sure to unplug the netbook AND remove the battery before you open the case!

I am not sure but I would call an IT tech and ask. I have a smaller HP net book and memory was added to it.

Hey, I have a Asus 1015PED and I have done some research and this will work. Have I acctually installed it, no. It is on it's way to me though and I will keep you up to date.The info on the Asus Netbook is DDR3, so, it will work. But there is only one slot, so we'll have to remove to 1gig in there now, and replace it with this 2gig.I will let you know when I get mine to confirm it works, but with all the research I've done, I am 100% sure it will work. I wouldn't have bought the netbook or the memory if I was even 1% unsure.Hope that helps.

I have egirl..i have a 1005PE-PU and i installed the 667hz 2GB crucial ram...it is easily installed, works fine and is instantly recognized. My only problem is that the windows 7 starter is hanging up upon shutdown...leaves the blue light on the on off switch ON with the fan/harddrive running...i am wondering if the ram change had ANYTHING to do with this...the unit is brand new...have written asus AND microsoft for a hotfix or SOME solution...ring any bell with you?

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.

No power at all, or doesn't completely boot up? Did you remove ALL the shipping packaging? Make sure you got everything; I know there's a lot, look again. Be sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY the first time you turn it on or you will cause damage. Especially the first time you connect to a PC to do the initialization process. And NEVER connect an SD card to the USB slot!

I solved my own problem. When booting up, I needed to press F2 to enter into the Bios screen. Then I just needed to press F10 to save changes. When the computer booted, it showed 2GB of RAM. I'm happy with this product.

Tested? I don't know. I did order it based on comments in another thread. The netbook has shipped. I haven't received a shipping confirmation on the memory yet. There are comments elsewhere on Amazon about people using the faster memory without any trouble. I am more likely to leave comments in these discussion threads than write a review after I've used the netbook some.
