ok guys, i was checking a couple sites online on how to replace the SO-Dimms. so far what i have seen on the toshiba machines is that u have to remove the keyboard to get to it, but i didnt see any for this particular model.

so any of u guys who have one or who have done it to the model can u give me a better heads up on how to proceed

Check if there are screwed-in access panels on the bottom. If so the dimms should be easily accessable from one of them. It's that way on my Toshiba but unsure if it would be the same for yours.

well its not my laptop its a guy's own that i have to upgrade from 512 to 2 x 1024 next week so im just tryin to get a head start on the operation. all the laptops ive seen open so far change ram from underneath, but all the toshiba's that i saw online tutoriols about did from above, under the key pad

Crapples, err I mean Apples, have (or at least used to have back when I still was forced to use them) that same setup. There would be some tabs at the top of the keyboard that you would pull and the keyboard would pop off.
