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!!!

Thanks for the response...the first 2GB i received from Amazon actually seemed to slow DOWN my netbook...esp noticeable after i replaced it with the 1GB to see if the hanging shutdown would go away (which it did)...so my question to you is...do you notice ANY enhanced performance from the 800 mHz 2GB install?

Did you put 2gb of memory in it?I ordered 2gb of crucial memory aimed for the 1005PE and have had this problem ever since.I thought that updating the BIOS fixed the problem - because after the BIOS update the problem seemed to end.But I later concluded that the restart and shut down problems only happen on battery power. When plugged in no problem.Try shutting down your 1005PE on battery power. Then try it pluggen in. Let me know if you have the same problem as I have.

The usual answer is netbooks are very picky about the memory you use for an upgrade. Try to match the make, speed for the upgrade (might have to use real Dell or maybe Kingston). Here's Dell PN: Product Description Dell memory - 2 GB - SO DIMM 204-pin - DDR3 Storage Capacity 2 GB Upgrade Type System specific OEM Manufacturer Equivalent Part Number DELL A5622175 Technology DDR3 SDRAM Form Factor SO DIMM 204-pin Memory Speed 1333 MHz ( PC3-10600 ) Data Integrity Check Non-ECC

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.

Hit F2 until you enter into the BIOS screen. When you first boot the PC keeping hitting F2 until you get there. Check to see if the memory reading is 2048 then hit F10 to save and escape... Let the PC boot normally then go into your Control Panel, click on the "System" icon and then a "Systems Properties" window should show up and under the "General" tab towards the bottom you can confirm that Windows sees your 2 GB of RAM. For some reason...you have to go into your BIOS screen and save and escape to have Windows acknowledge the RAM change. I hope this helps.

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT2KIT51264BF160B/dp/B005LDLVAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397079242&sr=8-2&keywords=SO-DIMM+ddr3. The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time. It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

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!

There is a very small screw which releases a panel on the bottom of the netbook which will allow you to get into the memory compartment. I have not ventured in there yet, but there is only one access panel on the bottom of the netbook and one little screw. Seems pretty basic and easy to do from what I hear and my experience with other laptop memory upgrades.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I looked this up on Tiger Direct. Tiger says this netbook supports only 1GB of RAM, which, according to them is what the unit ships with. You should probably check the specs on Acer's web site also, since I see that another responder says that it supports 2GB.

When I tried to install this RAM in my ASUS 1015PED, it refused to get to the BIOS screen. I seated it correctly, but it simply didn't boot when I had this particular 2GB stick. Apparently it isn't compatible?

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

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

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.

It is my understanding that the GBs can be doubled. Meaning if your current factory installed memory is 2.0 GB you can add additional memory in increments of 2GBs.
