Hi all

Fool that I am, I bought a 1gig memory upgrade for my X505, and then read it’s a soldering job…

I fancy a peek inside to see if it’s doable - does anyone know what size tri-wing it takes to open the machine up?

I’m in the UK, and this site seems to have them down to size 0, which I have a suspicion may be what I need:

I think its the 00 size. 

Ebay has a ton of these tools for sale for a couple GBP.

To my knowledge, no one has successfully upgraded the memory yet. If you succeed, please let us know.

Is that the same size as the gameboy/wii ones then?

(don’t hold your breath on the memory!)

Yes. Same size.

Any success with the soldering job ...  ? Do it, you will be more than a trend setter I might call you an idol then…the savior ...(I could keep on going, but… will rather not, for obvious reasons)  Good luck with it anyway!

the memory, is soldered on the motherboard…..

My only question is why all these websites say upgradeable to 1gb?

etc…??????  Could anyone answer? On what basis are they selling it?

Because, there is a vaio PCG x505 (not vgn x505)

Simply an error….

Actually that is not true, the japanese versions of the x505 are called PCG-X505-P and PCG-X505-SP and PCG-X505-CP the other models for Europe and NA are the ones called VGN-X505-VP/ZP…etc…the ones you have found on the picture IS a PCG, but it is not the X505, but the original 505 and it is pcg because it is japanese…I am still curious..

Sorry…

Search on google PCG-505TX, PCG-505FX, PCG-505X, etc…
