Hello, I want to make my computer a bit faster, so I want to change the RAM sticks. I open my PC but I only see one while there are supposed to be two. I've searched everywhere but I can't find the other one :'(
My computer is a Fujitsu Siemens AMILO Pi 2530.
If you could provide me with a plan or tell me where the stick I can't find is, that would be nice :)
Thank you.

    These are bars that are 2 to 3 centimeters high, usually located at the top right of the motherboard. On a desktop, they are about fifteen centimeters long, and on a laptop, they are half that length.

    Thank you for your response, but my PC doesn't look like that at all and the two slots are distant; I have only seen one.

    If you take a picture of the inside of the motherboard, I could show you where it is; otherwise, we'll have to work with what I've given you... anyway, these are the only small cards that are vertical in the computer! The other vertical cards are located at the back of the computer (for connecting the screen, network, etc...).

    Okay, thank you. I will probably send you a photo tomorrow because the computer is hot right now.

    Hello, no response on this subject?

    I have an Amilo Pi 2530 and I also wanted to upgrade the RAM, but when I unscrew the bottom cover, I only see one RAM slot: 1 GB is plugged in and yet I have 2 GB on it!! Where is the second stick????

    Thank you for guiding me.

      2 solutions: either it's not the RAM you're seeing (Wi-Fi card?), or the second stick is inaccessible, or the 2GB chips are directly soldered to the motherboard...

      I also have an Amilo Pi 2530 and I learned that there are 2 slots. One is accessible from the bottom and for the other you have to disassemble the laptop... :-(
