i got my asus last week and it has worked fine; so i decided to upgrade my memory. i too; now only have a black screen; comes on, but won't do anything. i've also tried putting my old memory in that it came with; but again no luck. i know that the booster was disabled; because i had just set up my wireless internet card. now; do i just need to send this back; i am very frustrated with something that cost this much and something that should have been so easy. Help!!

i took it to the geek squad at best buy (in london uk) and they fixed it w/ no problem, it SHOULD be an easy thing to do, but obviously it is not, it's a bit tricky, i would take it somewhere RELIABLE and have them do it, should not cost that much

Thanks B. Liao, I have sorted it, well, that is, I took it to Best Buy and the "Geeks" sorted it!

This happened to me too, but I was able to startup with the 1GB card. Then I followed instructions on page 16 to disable boot booster before installing the 2GB card. This worked and I am now good. Hopefully this helps you as well as others.

Hello Cat,Thanks to Michael's help, I realised my neglect, but it was impossible to start it again. I was lucky that my netbook was within a month of sale. I had a replacement from Amazon. Still, I dare not try it again since there is no service provider in my town. I will take it to the service provider when I go to Shanghai China. I am sorry I may disappoint you.

Thanks a lot for the kindly help. I did read over the whole manual. The netbook worked pretty good and was very easy to handle. I forgot the warning. The previous reviewers were focused on opening the tab to find the screw. I hope our experience will remind the others of the warning. Thanks again for your help.

Hi Michael, how did you start up with the 1GB card? I am still on black screen with my old 1GB card? I cannot get in to disable the boot booster, or to do anything!, as all I get is the black screen. Thanks!!!

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

Be careful - mine started making clicking sounds at the same location one night and promptly crashed an hour later, so I'm guessing it was the hard drive. I managed to reboot and reinstall using the "ghost" behind the preinstalled partition, and it functioned just fine for the next couple months until today, when I started hearing squeaky noises from the same area. I promptly shut it down and haven't opened it back up yet, but a quick search of the Asus forums also suggests hard drive issues. I've had this netbook for about 15 months, so I'm a little disappointed but not surprised I'm running into problems. You should definitely back up all your files (good practice in general anyway)!

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.

I used the geekylives link to pop in the new RAM, but the system still says 1 GB. I looked at the device drivers to see if there was a way to tell the computer to look for the extra memory, but I still haven't gotten it to recognize the extra ram, although the computer is working fine.

My AC adapter just failed. I've had this netbook for about 3 weeks. My computer was connected to the power cord the whole time and i didn't even notice the adapter was off until the computer turned off due to lack of power. The adapter was cool to the touch and there was no physical damage either. Following this thread's advice i unplugged cord from the brick and threw the whole thing in the freezer. And IT WORKED, the blue light came back on and its charging now. I don't know if and when the power will fail again so I'm very nervous about making sure I back up all my files while i have power just in case the adapter fails permanently and I have to wait weeks, if not months, for another adapter.

Unfortunately you can not add memory. I've had no problems with mine running slow and I've never got a warning. Sounds like you may have a Virus or something running in the back.

I solved my own problem. When booting up, I needed to press F2 to enter into the Bios screen. Then I just needed to press F10 to save changes. When the computer booted, it showed 2GB of RAM. I'm happy with this product.

Dear customer,1. The amount of installing RAM have to be min. 4 GB if the OS is Windows 7 or 8. Better is 6 or 8 GB RAM, but it depend from the Mother Board.2. If the PC is old there is dust inside. You have to clean the contact points before adding the new RAM. Practically, the handy way is to plug in and remove several times the RAM in the socket places. I hope then the PC will start normaly! Success!

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!

Okay, when I look at the System properties, it still says 1 GB. I tried hitting the F2 key while the computer was booting up but nothing happened. How can I get my Eee1000he to recognize the new 2 GB memory card?

I have never personally tested that limit, but I have no doubt that Microsoft is correct in their documentation that Windows Starter will not support more than 2 GB of RAM: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 However, I also don't know if you would really "NEED" more than 2 GB of RAM with a netbook. Granted, more is often better... but how many programs would you really have opened on this thing? Right now on my desktop computer I am only using 1.7 GB of RAM and I have IE opened, 4 tabs in Chrome, Skype, Remote Desktop Client, Windows Explorer windows, Task Manager, Google Talk, One Note, VPN client, Windows Live Mesh, and antivirus software. Now I am not saying that you don't want to add as much RAM as you can (within reason) but if you spend another $65 on top of the price of this laptop that puts you at just shy of $400 then if you need to upgrade out of Windows Starter that puts you closer to $480 or so for the total cost. At that point you might be better off starting to look at other options and or re-evaluating your needs for a netbook. For $480 you could get an HP D1MZ that has a faster processor, faster and bigger hard drive, already runs Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium, and has a slightly larger monitor. Granted, that is really a "higher class" of Netbook, almost an ultra portable laptop more than a netbook... All that being said, I still fully intend to purchase this computer (I keep waiting for them to come out with a different color.... my daughter would be thrilled with a red option since I know she will be using this more than I will be) and from what I have seen it appears to be a great machine. Just something to keep in mind if you are going to start adding upgrades, you might be pricing yourself into a different "class" of netbooks/ultra portable laptops.

Yes, it was the 2 Gig memory update. The PC works perfectly since I put back the factory 1Gig memory. It is quick enough even for real multi-tasking where I just don't need to even try an other 2 gig memory product. It is a really sweet netbook PC.

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3 - 12800) CL11 SODIMM Notebook Memory Modules CT2KIT51264BF160B / CT2CP51264BF160B The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time.It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

I just read on Google,Asus saying that upgrading to2GB will Not void the warranty.I have the 2GB module will install,not really sure I need it.Oh well,you can never be too rich,thin or have enough memory.Follow up;Installed 2MB memory,one caveat,You must enter the BIOS to get it to recognize the 2MB,if you don't it will see your 2MB as 1 MB

Hi, I also bought a Asus 1005ha-p from zipzoomfly with a 2g corsair 667 mhz memory. After installing it, it shows only 1 gig physical memory as does the original 1gig. Am I reading something wrong? Why doesn't it show up as 2gig? If someone knows the answer I would apprciate it. I wanted to return it to Zipzoomfly but they are giving me a hard time.
