How to upgrade & dismantle Dell Mini 10v 1018

- jRin.net shows you how to dismantle and upgrade the latest Dell Mini 10v, the 1018. (use this video to learn how to upgrade the memory).
For memory upgrade purposes, note that it is slightly different than the Mini 1012 in that there is no (removable) memory access door under the keyboard to access the memory slot - you need to take off the palm rest to access it!
Also, please be sure to know what Dell Mini 10 series netbook you have prior to following this video as there are currently 4 different ones.
* Dell Mini 10 (1010) which is easily identifiable as it is the only one that has a HDMI port. This is the only Dell Mini 10 series that cannot have it's memory upgraded.
* Dell Mini 10v 1011 -- similar look (body style) to the Mini 10 except that it has a different atom processor (n270, n280) and has VGA instead of HDMI.
* Dell Mini 10v 1012 -- has a new hinge design compared to the Mini 1011/1010 and the bottom half is all white, no longer has the huge extended battery that sticks out below the netbook, and has a refresh in specs (atom N450+ processor)
* Dell Mini 10v 1018 -- the latest iteration, the one in this video, that is basically the same look as the 1012 but with an all black bottom, a few less ports, upgrade to ddr3 memory, and FINALLY a touchpad with dedicated buttons!

Super job - easy to follow. 2GB and SSD - This little Dell is now Tiny but Mighty!
Thanks, just installed an SSD and a 2gb stick, runs like a champ
I just upraded our Mini10 to 2GB and by using this video it was absolutely foolproof. Within less than 35 minutes I was ready to go.Thanks very much for producing this video!
Second time was the charm for me.. first time two beeps on power up: no ram detected. Very good tutorial. Been meaning to do this for a while.
I upgraded the RAM on my wife's mini 10 from 1 to 2GB using this video and it went great, the process was exactly as described. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the video, you made my memory upgrade immensely faster (and less frustrating).
I'm sure you hear this alot.Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I was going insane upgrading the memory on my 1018. Dell manual stated to just pull the palm rest up with you fingers! Impossible! Your credit card tricked saved my sanity. Thanks again.
Thanks for this, just bought my daughter one of these for christmas and was thinking of upgrading the Ram to 2GB. this will make the whole process much, much easier. Excellent Video.
Excellent work! Every step is explained clearly and photographed just as clearly. Well done sir!!
Perfect. I used this to upgrade memory in my 1018. Your expert video made it a matter of
I don't think I'll ever take mine apart but you did an excellent job on yours! Great video!
Thank you for not boring us while you took the screws out as many do. Your fast forward was a welcome refreshing part that many hillbillies think we need to watch while they speak real slow in their IQ 80 native tongue.
Great clear easy to follow instructions. Upgraded my RAM in about 10 minutes, thanks.
brilliant! with the exception of removing screws, i even kept up with you real-time. HDD & mem upgrade then up and running in about 20m! thank you!
followed this video and upgraded my inspiron mini very easily. Thank you very much!
Thanks! Awesome tutorial. Just updated mini 1018 with 2gb memory and a new dell WLAN card.
Perfect video for memory upgrade, made it very, very easy to do. Thanks!
Extremely useful. Detailed and easy to follow. Thank you very much!
Thanks - finally got round to upgrading the RAM on mine and the guide was the perfect help. Trusty netbook now runs much better

THANKS FOR THE VID SIR!
i cant believe dell made it even more annoying to get to the RAM. this has to be the worst access to RAM design I have ever seen and I have replaced/upgraded 1000's of laptops and desktops. unbelievable.
Excellent video, just finished upgrading my 1018 with crucial 2g module.
Invaluable for showing the right way to release those pesky ribbon connectors.
PS It still works!
on many things yes, you will notice faster loading, and less momentary freeze up moments. For a tiny netbook like this, 2gb is perfect so that limitation is not that big of a deal. I only use mine for web browsing, and the 2gb of ram with chrome works great and is not noticeably faster than a real laptop for that task. Without upgrading to 2gb, chrome may have issues with video playback, like frame drops every 15-30 seconds due to swapping, but with 2gb, video playback is smooth.
if you're referring to articles such as wikipedia on the dell mini model names, you're correct - however, back when they were actively being sold, most were referenced as the Mini 10v
@MCdrivein No, usually if you can disassemble a laptop without having to go through one of the "warranty void if tampered" stickers that covers a screw, you are ok.
what what a pita! i got mine upgraded, but with some difficulty. if you're gonna attempt this, make sure your machine is shutdown and not just in hibernate. also, be extra careful @ 1:05; i broke the clip, and had to crazy glue it. i also stabbed the motherboard, but luckily it was ok. i got fat fingers, so the process was tricky.
13 years later, I am still fixing these computers lol
Excellent vid. 15 mins it took me and no probs. Many thanks
Gerry Murray ram type for 1018?
Excellent !! Couldn't be better.
Excellent video!!! No issues whatsoever, thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. You are a life saver!
Dell does not have any official drivers for the 1080 and windows xp (though, you should be able to use the ones for earlier models such as the 1012). Also, this netbook can only support up to 2GB max (it's a physical limitation of the chipset).
Thanks for the info. My 1018 has been sitting because it’s still slow with the 2gb upgrade. Was about to add more RAM until I read your comment about the chipset limits. Just gonna upgrade to SSD and see if that helps. Thanks.
very helpful video; I had my 2gb upgrade in there in no time flat! thanks for doing this video. :)
Nah......he's just that fast with the screwdriver....
Seriously, though, great to have such well done videos to help us do things right! Thanks!
OK, I said scew it, and followed your demo while my 2 yr old watched Wonder Pets. Success! I think. Some how I'm 1 screw short at reasembly time...... I still regret buying a dell cuz this was a pain but I hope this extra ram was worth it. Doesn't look like it. Shoot.
Excellent video! No B.S; straight to the point and so easy even a caveman can do it. Thanks man!
Perfect instruction, worked a treat - thanks
Excellent video, very well explained. However, it made me realize that I personally am probably better off living with 1GB of memory than attempting an upgrade. :(
After watching this I think I'll just sell the POS on Ebay. Thanks
I think I bought your POS, :( .. Now I'm trying to upgrade..
@PhantomTD
A bit of very light (So you can open it again) glue on the corner where it squikes, and then just a tiny drop of WD40 in the "gap" and it is all gone, and easy to open again. :-)
great vid i been trying to upgrade my laptop memory but i couldn't opened but now i have a question how much of improvement can changing the ram card do?
and if there is a way to improve the processing unit to make it faster?
Great job, helped me alot! Got SSD and 2gb now. Total silence ;)
Well, the plastic in front of the touchpad is kind of squicky. Opened it again, no clips are broken. Any tips? Perhaps heating the plastic a bit will help.
where is the disply fuse? I have changed the screen and the cable. the fuse is all that is left. My dell 1018 works on an external monitor. but when I turn the laptop on itself it is a very dark display.
I'm straight man but... I love you ! I did it step by step like you're saying on your video. I replaced my ram with a 2GB Samsung which it says:"2GB 1Rx8 PC3-10600S-09-11-B2" M471B5773DH0-CH9 1105 Hope this help for others
Top Notch Instructions! Thank you.
@sn0uzer i'd retrace the steps, make sure everything is plugged back in firmly. did u make any mistakes (even small) ? make sure the memory snapped in to place by pushing down.
Very Good And helpful thanks
i have two quick questions. i currently have two gigs of ram in my 1018(thanks to this video i was able to install it easy) but how much of a performance boost would i get if i decided to put a 4 gig stick in. i heard from a few sources that based on the system it's self that there wouldn't be much or any noticeable difference in performance, is that true?
i heard from another source that it may be a good idea to put windows xp or Linux on the netbook because it is less taxing to the system.
Do you think it would be possible to make a 1012/1018 hybrid, since they are so similar? I hate the 1012 touch pad. It is terrible for two fingers, but the 1018 touch pad is great. Plus, I have the broadcom chip on my 1012, which isn't in the 1018. Most of the hardware is interchangeable, and the cutouts all match up, with the exception of the RAM chip door.
Good. Now. How can I assemble it again?
Thanks for this video m8, you are a life saver!!!
Oh man, sorry to hear that!! After I watched this video I called my local computer store and they will do it for me for $45. Some may think that's a lot but at least they will do it right.. and if they f** it up, they are responsible!!! I just wonder why Dell makes it so damn difficult to do...
Thanks! Very helpful!
Thanks very much. It really help.
How much is the inspiron mini 10v 1018?
Curious about the price
Thank you
I have this 1018 laptop with 1 GB ram. Is it possible to upgrade to 4 GB or is 2 GB the limit for the main board?
Does any 2GB stick of ram work for it or do you need a specific brand and/or make?
Thanks for this video its very usfull
Does anyone know where the location of the right speaker would be? unfortunetly I have to replace mine, as it was blown out by the previous owner. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
1 question where did u update the bios from mine dosent work with 2G ram I was told the bios needs to be updated
hey jrinco11, thank you for the video. what happens if I just put a 4gb in? is it going to work? I mean, would it burn or something? thank´s again.
I have this laptop with 1 GB RAM
if i will replace the ram to 2 GB will i see a big different at the speed of the laptop
what else can i do to improve the performence
Thank you
MOST EXCELLENT! Thank you for the tutorial. ~kat
yes (so long as it's a 2.5" sata drive)
does the computer has a ventilator?
Are you sure it only supports 2GB of RAM? I checked in Linux and it says
Handle 0x0012, DMI type 16, 15 bytes
Physical Memory Array
Location: System Board Or Motherboard
Use: System Memory
Error Correction Type: None
Maximum Capacity: 8 GB
Number Of Devices: 1
There's a "Maximum capacity" entry there.
Also, in the video you're saying something about an "accelerator card". Is there a way to improve the graphics features of the laptop? Can I add a graphics accelerator to it?
This helped me a lot, respecT
instead of a credit card i use a knife. hardcore. lol
Does it void the warranty ?
@sgsadmn yeah, don't do it yourself if you're not confident. i just f""ked mine up.
holy crap!!!! why does it have to be so complicated???? How much should I expect to pay to have someone do this for me... I'm way scared to do this to my computer.
Does the computer run noticeably faster if you install a 2g stick of ram? Anyone answer plz I'm trying to decide if i should buy one or not.
thank you :)
should I get this or the 1012? I saw the 1012 at a place for 325$ so im not sure what to do, if someone could help me decide i'd appreciate it, thanks
Awesome Thanks you....
thank you you is the best ^^
where's the heatsink?
ilgraias
great i got it tks
No way to change this processor in this as it is an intel atom and they are soldered to the board.
@sammax72
LOL... I was thinking the same thing!!!!!!
Can i upgrade the cpu in any way?
How to sitting to laptop
just swapped my ram and it doesnt boot anymore.. put the old ram back in and still doesnt boot -_-
1:13 PULL THE FUCKIN TAB THATS WHAT ITS THERE FOR
Just bought a 2gb mem stick b4 watching this. Crap. Thought there would be 2 slots and easier to access.
This is NOT a Dell Mini 10v... the 10v is only the 1011 model.
What's the point?
