The RAM chip is necessary for even basic operation of the device, providing memory for the computer's processing.

If you have followed the steps in the Troubleshooting Guide and found that you need a RAM upgrade, this step-by-step guide will lead you through the process of removing the battery, back-plate, and RAM chip.
