Introduction

If your RAM is insufficient or failing, you may want to replace or upgrade it by following this guide.

  1. VUyftoeiiAs2A6Jj

    • Turn over the device so that the bottom is facing up. Make sure the hinged side is facing you.

  2. WJMQMhbbqyBGOueJ

    • Move the right switch towards the right until it clicks in place. You should then see the color red reveal from where the switch was originally.

  3. iZF3GSLFWcjsTRpk

    • Now take your left hand and slide the left switch to the left.

    • This switch will not click in place like the other switch, so make sure to keep your left hand on the switch.

  4. uFWLjwQfSJpInyPV

    • Take your free hand and place it on the battery. Gently slide it away from its slot.

  5. AcpuP15NFFmSE5sn

    • Rotate the laptop so that now the hinge is facing away from you.

    • Remove the two 2.5 x 4.0 mm Phillips #0 screws from the underside of the laptop.

    • The RAM sticks can be found at the bottom right of the laptop.

    • Carefully press the two silver buttons on either side of the stick outwards. This will cause the RAM to “pop” up.

    • This device is capable of holding two RAM sticks, so there are two different sets of silver buttons; a top set and a bottom set. When removing the RAM stick, make sure to press either the two bottom buttons or the two top buttons.

  8. PjBdsXK6w3ydEqnP

    • Carefully slide the RAM straight out of its socket.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
