I didn't realize Dell had finally published a service manual, and this was the first Google result for "Dell 1012 memory change." A mis-ordered SODIMM for another computer project just found its way into my netbook in under 10 minutes and is running like a champ. I'm sure I would have figured out which screw was which eventually, but this guide just made life that much easier. :) Thanks! For info, newly installed RAM is a cheap Rendition 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400 stick (RM25664AC800) from Newegg. Excellent guide!

The problem when the notebook was opened, turned out to be a broken connection to the motherboard from the lead(s) starting at the chrome power button. The connection broke off of the motherboard. I am wondering if you can provide a solution to reconnect the (connector) plastic piece holding the positive and negative wires to the motherboard instead of ordering another motherboard. Thanks again for responding so soon, and also for your time. Mike Thanks for responding so soon.

Dell now has a illustrated service guide if you are up to it: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1012/en/sm/coinbatt.htm#wp1179886 @gordan.F – looks like it’s under the motherboard, so you’ll need to go a bit further than I did in my guide to remove it.
