LG XNOTE P2 Disassembly
March 11, 2008 by Jeremy Brock
This is a quick guide on how to disassembling a LG XNOTE P2 Laptop. This laptop uses four different screw diameters so make sure to note which screws go where. The frame assembly is attached to the LCD allowing you to take both out together. Make sure to remove all the plastic inserts (SD, PCMCIA, and Modem) before removing the motherboard.

Hi, do you have RAM upgrade instructions for an LG R405
Thanks,
Hi, do you have instructions on how to access the RAM under the keyboard for LAPTOP LG R405. I could only access the RAM under the laptop, but there is only one single slot for the RAM. I was thinking if the other slot is located beneath the keyboard.
I was a bit apprehensive in dis-assembling my LAPTOP due to un-availability of service manual / instructions on RAM Upgrade.
Thank you,

I don't have a manual, if you have an identical processor you should be able to swap it out, most laptops don't support a wide range of CPU upgrades due to heat and chipset constraints.
