Recently I started to run low on space so I decided to buy a new hard drive and although the speed increase from the faster drive was a nice bonus I still felt like something was missing, oh thats right an HD ACTIVITY LIGHT APPLE! I can see Steve Jobs making this call while saying something along the lines of it distracting from the cleanliness of the design and he probably called it an obsolete feature stating most disks are constantly active with modern search indexing and background tasks blah blah, I obviously don’t agree with this and many others don’t agree either. Even if I didn’t find this useful in OSX I do dual boot Windows and sometimes I find myself saying “what the hell is this thing doing”, its nice to know if it is doing something or if the OS is hung up on a task. Anyway enough ranting let’s get into the mod. I wanted to keep everything stock looking so I needed a place to put the LED where it
Upgrade ZT MS-16362 to 4GB of RAM
This is a quick litle guide on upgrading a ZT model MS-16362 to 4GB of DDR-II Memory A.K.A. Ram. The laptop comes with 1-2GB of DDR depending on model but is capable of up to 4GB. How do we unlock this potential you ask? Simple, we upgrade the BIOS. Now hold your horses there little lassy, Before you go hoping over to the beautifully craptified and outdated ZT website I must worn you that just like the website, the BIOS is very outdated. So what do we do now? Well if you read my other post found here you will see a ZT MS-16362 is nothing more than an MSI 1636 (EX600). This is good because unlike ZT it appears MSI has kept their BIOS’s up to date. If you read this article I posted a while back you will see how I came to the conclusion that the ZT MS-16362 was capable of a 4GB memory upgrade. So how do we perform this black art voodoo magic you ask? Well its no voodoo or magic
