Replacing DOM

I have an HP Neoware CA15. I need to replace the 256mb DOM with a 512mb one. There is a plastic piece that projects up from the motherboard and goes through a hole in the DOM. I can't get the DOM off it. Is there a trick to it?

Look closely and you will see the two tabs that stick out over the DOM to keep it attached to the motherboard. Use a pair of tweezers or something like that to squeeze them in and it will come right up.

Thanks STxFarmer. I got it. That's what I was trying but your reinforcement helped. I notice you have a 512mb dom image for the CA15 but your 1gb image is not for the CA15. Will the 1gb not work with the CA15?

I think it will but you might need to look at your device manager to make sure you don't have any issues there. If you do then you might try the additonal drivers that I have posted to see if they might correct the problem.

Or you can start out with a clean image and go from there as I have the tweaks listed in the test file. The tweaked version runs good for me but I think Alpman did a better job on the tweaks. Stroths was the one that really helped me understand what type of tweaks to do in the beginning. Read the post by them and you will understand a lot more.
