    you properly have another one under the Keyboard. That would mean you need to take Your Acer apart to get to it.

    I have an emachines and had to do the same thing to get 1Gig in there

    Power off, remove battery.
    there is a screw accessable from the bottom of your laptop that hold the nameplate/ power/quick keys plate on. (It's the centre 1) remove plate.
    Locate the 2 screws that hold your keypad down and remove the keypad.
    2nd ram slot is located under keypad
