The 144pin microDIMM has no keyed points in the middle of the teeth to
indicate which way it should go into the socket. This doesn't mean that it
is universal however - there is only one way the 128MB memory module will
fit into the notebook without breaking something. If you look carefully at
the picture of the memory module in the upper right hand you can see that
the left hand is indented slightly. The picture we took is reversed as
that indentation should be on the right hand side of the 144-pin microDIMM
socket in the Fujitsu P2000. |

|
| With the memory in the right orientation you'll
first need to slide it into the socket so that most of those gold pins are
no longer visible. |
|
|
| If you can still see most of those gold pins the
memory module is not seated properly in the microDIMM socket. Two springs
put tension the memory module as you push it in so there will be a small
amount of resistance. However, if you have the memory module backwards it
won't fit properly no matter how hard you push, so don't force
anything. |
|
|
| Keeping pressure on the memory module so it
remains seated in the socket simply push down on it until you hear the two
plastic clips click into place. There is one on either side of the memory
module PCB which hold the unit in place properly. |
|
|
| There you have it, you have just added 128MB of
memory to your Fujitsu P2000. Now comes the hard part - putting everything
back together in the right order! |
|
|
| The sequence of events to get the keyboard back
into place is shown above. Those little aluminum tabs fit into slots in
the frame of the notebook and if they aren't seated fully the plastic
spacer tab won't fit. |
|
|
| From this point we are going to cheat a bit and
tell you to look at the first half of the guide to see what's next (if you
really need to). The plastic spacer tab fits in this slot with a bit of
gentle pressure - it only goes in one way, so make sure you have if facing
the right side. After that spacer tab is in you can flip over the notebook
and put that screw back in. Last but not least is dropping the battery
back onto the notebook and then you are good to go with a full 368MB of
memory! |
