Can I add more memory?

I have an Acer netbook D-1606 w/ 1 GB of memory.  It's running really slow and keeps telling me my memory is low.  I've tried removing programs, degragging, etc.  Can I add more memory---easily and inexpensively?

    Hello cindyann,

     

    Acer netbook D-1606, I guess it's an Aspire One D270 (AOD270).

    In this case, your laptop have only one slot memory and the maximum is 2Gb.

    You can change the 1 Gb stick memory by a 2 Gb.

     

    You'll find memory part number with these finder tools:

     

    Corsair Memory Finder

    Crucial Advisor tool

    Yes, that's the model and that's what I wanted to know.  It keeps saying that the memory is low and it's running slowly.  How difficult is it to change to 2 gb?

    Hello,

     

    Could you indicate me what memory stick did you buy?

    Could you confirm me that's the correct model Aspire D270-1606 (NU.SGNAA.003) and that it works under Windows 7 Starter?

    I got:  2GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.35V from Crucial.  Yes, that's the correct model # w/Windows 7 starter.

     

    I tried putting the old memory back in and it still didn't work.  I don't know if I screwed something up putting it back together or if I didn't connect something right.

    Hello,

     

    The only difficulty is to remove the keyboard FPC (flexible) when you return it.

    I guess the memory clips are well locked.

     

    Have you access to the bios setup utility( with the old memory stick)?

    If yes:

    1- Push the power button and press [F2] to enter in the bios setup utiliy.

    2- Press [F9] to Load setup defaults.

    3- Press [F10] to Save and exit.

     

    Note:

    When you screw in a plastic hole, before you unscrew lightly to find the thread. Like this, you will not damage the thread.
