Doubtfull.... I thought I saw the mem chip but it wasnt. Well ifi twas when I googled it only one singel place hit! And it was for some company that reprograms chips and sells this thing to do it with so I am sure its not mem now.

Top half will be apart tommorow night. Just got alot of other things going on right now.

Ok here is what we have for tonight.... RAM is very easily viewed. Seems like the saem model as Sprint but one digiti off... Prolly not going ot unlock any secret mem as I was hoping. One digit in model could mean 128 or 256. Anyone with skills reading and googling these chips? Would love to hear from you! Really love it! Cause I dont know.... So... If you do... Give us some schooling please!!!

Link doesn't work. copy pasted from somewhere?

As far as memory goes, highly doubt you'll get it out of there if you can't pop it out. That would be one of those things that they probably wouldn't even replace at the factory if it failed. The whole board would go
