Pack Bell Easynote...

I have a Packard Bell Easynote F7305 notebook and I am looking for a manual,
explaining things like replacing ram etc. I have tried searching for this to
no avail, could anybody tell me where I could get one please? Failing that,
could anybody tell me how to locate the memory strips in this machine?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

Do you have any removeable panels on the bottom of the case? Most notebooks
have a cover plate that has one or two screws holding it on that covers the
RAM slots, since they are one of the "user upgradeable" items.

 

I'd wasn't even aware that PackardHell was still in the computer biz.

There are 2 panels on the underside, a small one and a large one. I removed
the small one , 2 screws and slide it off, memory not in there. I tried
removing large panel, 4 screws out, but panel refuses to come away from the
body of machine. I don't want to use excessive force, what next?

 

Hmmm...should be tight, but not difficult. I agree - no excessive force.
I've not worked on PBs since they don't sell in US, but all the Dell, HP,
Sony, etc. machines I've worked with are all pretty straightforward for
installing memory.

Did you try the link Countrylover posted?

 

Yes, I tried the link, but it doesn't really cover it.

 

Ahhh...somewhat typical. Another location I've found memory installed at is
under the keyboard.

 

Now we are getting "Really Technical" )
Looking from the outside, I don't see any way to remove the keyboard, no
screws showing.

On my Vaio, the cover just back of the keyboard is removed with one screw on
the side, then slide the cover. The keyboard has a couple screws there
holding it in. (That's where I go to get to the hard drive.) Too bad I don't
have any experience with that brand/model. I've found most laptop
manufacturers are reluctant to put out much information regarding repair,
since they'd rather have the extra income from doing that work themselves.

 

Ok Tim, thanks for trying, it's getting late here so I'd better get my head
down and have another look tomorrow.

 

This page for replacing the battery is good for showing removing the 4
screws and sliding the panel toward the back

Apparently [it looks like] there's only one ram slot. I can't find the
specs on ram slots or default ram at the site.

As far as I know Packard Bell = NEC, see the odd one down this neck of the
woods (EnZed).

Many thanks for that Mike, I managed to remove the large panel as described
and there are 2 slots for ram, one above the other.
Thanks to all who replied.

 

Same here...much less making laptops. Ugh.

Errm... it was about Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Good.


Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode...
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

(Chorus)
Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johnny be good

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made.
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

(Chorus)

His mama told him someday he would be a man,
And he would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music when the sun go down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.

(Chorus)

 

Yes Mike, that was my 'Ol Grandpappy!
