Locate the memory slots on an HP Pavilion ZV500 laptop computer.
Installing additional memory in your Pavilion ZV500 is the most cost-effective upgrade you can perform on the laptop. Additional memory speeds up all aspects of your laptop's performance and costs much less than a new processor.
Before you can install the new memory, however, you will need to know where the memory banks or slots in the Pavilion ZV500 are located. You can find the memory slots in a couple of minutes.
Instructions
1. Shut down the laptop and power it off. Remove the AC adapter.
2. Flip the laptop over so that it is upside down. Slide the battery release latch for the battery to the "Unlocked" position. Slide the battery out of the bay to remove it.
3. Locate the memory slot cover on the bottom of the laptop. The access cover will have a small picture of a memory module printed on it. The slot cover is located next to the battery bay.
4. Remove the retaining screw that holds the memory slot cover in place. Remove the slot cover. The memory banks are now visible.
