I just successfully reassembled the TC1100 after updating the "non-user accessible" RAM from 256*MB to 1GB. It booted on the first try, and no extra screws. :D I left the 265*MB stick in the user slot, so I now have 1.25 GB. It's noticeably faster to boot.

It's a royal pain to access the internal memory, I'll post pictures of the internals once I find a place to put them. (The forum isn't letting me upload any right now. I get an error.) The memory I put in was a Kingston model KTM-TP9828/1G FRU 33R4967. I took this out of another system, so it may not be the best, but it works.

All in all, I got some great pictures, I know all about the internals now, and I got the memory upgraded. I'm happy. [8D]

Hi Sierra,

Thanks for the 'success' report.

What kind of error are you seeing when you try to upload the images. There's a hard limit (97k or something like that) for uploads. You may need to shrink 'em.

You still around Sierra?
If so, how'd you go with these pictures? Interested in doing it...

It would be great to see pictures of this.! I have .5 GB and I will probably upgrade. The mouse pointer is slow sometimes, a clear sign of disk swapping.

Anything special to consider? Must it be HP memory? Thanks.

Edit: Is there any risk that my .5 GB that I have already is actually two 0.25 GB modules? Thanks.

Go here and look at the 2nd picture.

If you the memory slot is already occupied then your 512 meg is 256 on the internal memory slot and 256 in the user accessible memroy slot (visible in the picture).
