| 227868 | 2004-04-07 11:31:00 | Hey, Last week i bought a Compaq Presario 2548 laptop which I am happy with. However I have bought some extra ram to install to boost performance a bit... as with the limited ram it had to begin with, it was a little bit sluggish.... esp. on battery. However when I went to install this ram, i found that there is a sticky black plastic covering over the spare ram slot.... its actually connected to the computer itself but I can't see its purpose.... It doesnt seem possible to install the stick without removing it.... is this safe.. or should I leave it for HP/Compaq to do? Thanks Ashley |

| 227872 | 2004-04-07 12:54:00 | Hey Ashley Matthews, I have no idea what you are referring to as this sticky black plastic, it's possible a Compaq deterrent from doing self upgrades, if it serves no purpose and is easily detachable, then you can remove it. It may appear sluggish on battery, because it maybe trying to be conservative, and trying to make the battery last longer without running all the unnecessary things. RAM may help a little, as well as aiding in draining the battery too. Noel Nosivad |
