OK - I have the memory but which door to open to get it in...

The title tells quite well the problem I have. I ordered more memory from crucial but now I have a problem. I see 2 options without removing the entire back of the computer. The model I have is Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz.

1) If I remove the battery I find a door

2) There is an other door under the computer (in the middle).

Which one is the one I need to open to uprgade my memory ?

I do ask this because the I need to purchase new tools if it is the option 2.

😕

You need to remove #2, the little panel in the middle on the bottom of your laptop. Here's the Apple instructions:

For 12'' Powerbook
For 15'' Powerbook
 
Do both of the ram cards have to be the same size? Do you have to have something like 2x512? Can you have 1 512 mb and 1 gb chip installed to give you 1512 mb?

when installing your ram just make sure it snaps in place nice and tight, if it doesnt this can cause kernel panicks

1. This is the access to the airport (extreme) card.
2. This is the access to the memory modules.
