It is possible to upgrade the memory by simply (!) cutting aq hole in the bottom of the computer case. I used the pictures and Vulcan logic to determine the location and dimensions of the required hole. I used a vibrating saw to cut the hole. You need to be careful not to cut too deep. Once you have a square panel cut out, you need to snip through the copper shield covering the memory card. Then it is a simple in and out replacement. I used a leftover 2 Gig memory card from my MacBook Pro.
Mucheasier than taking out all those screws and connectors!
Here’s an easier-but riskier- technique. Cut a rectangular hole in the bottom of your Mini 10V. I did it and it worked. Needles to say, you must be careful not to cut too deep! Measure in from the left side (computer shut, upside down and the empty battery compartment away from you) 3/4 inch, and 4.5 inch (from the edge. the lines you draw will be 3.75 inches apart. measure up from the keyboard edge 2.5 inches and 4.75 inches and draw horizontal lines. The ‘box’ you drew is your cutting template. Once inside you need to cut a copper shield to get to the memory card. From that point on it’s easy. I used the 2 gig memory card from my MacBook Pro. When you’re done, glue the panel you cut out back in place and reinsert battery and you’re ready to go. (For cutting the hole, I used a vibrating multi tool with a saw blade)
Disclaimer: Your mileage may vary. If you brick your Mini 10V, you can buy another on Ebay for ~$75.
Good Luck.
Excellent step-by-step graphical explanation makes it look easy by following the instructions congratulations.
