The details seem to be missing. I've never had to access the BIOS to enable memory sticks so at least that's not an issue.

My hp mini 311-1037nr will not operate with the memory module installed. I was told that the module was defective and replaced it and the problem persists. It operates quite well without it. Running Ubuntu 12.04 and cannot access bios (used machine, no password).
