Just do it yourself. It is amazingly simple. Flip over he laptop and there will by a small hatch that you will have to unscrew. One will be for the ram, there will be another one for the HD. After that just pop out the old memory and push in the new sticks. I have done it myself many times. It literally takes all of one minute. The guys at Yongsan will do it but charge you.
However, if you have a netbook then I would suggest having them do it. Adding ram to most netbooks is a pain, as you must take apart the whole case. |

The kind of RAM for laptops is called SO-DIMM.......and luckily, it's all standard size. What you need to know before you buy is the maximum speed that your laptop motherboard can handle.
If you tell us the make and model of your laptop then it will be easy to find out the max quantity and speed of RAM that you can use. |

Nicely done.......
.....you really need to keep a can of compressed air (3000won) and blast the vents of your laptop now and then. |
