This is a guide to replace the RAM in the laptop. You will only need the anti-static wristband for this guide.

    • Flip the laptop over to expose the underside.

    • Remove the two grip pads with blue plastic opening tool by inserting the tool between the laptop and the pads and slowly lifting up.

    • The grip pads are tacky, remove slowly to avoid separating the adhesive.

    • Use the nylon spudger to pop off the bottom cover by inserting it into the heat vent and twisting to the left or right.

    • You may hear a slight clicking or popping, but that is normal.

    The case is secured by plastic hooks at 1” intervals. Use the nylon spudger and the opening tool to lever around the rim of the case. Start at the edge of the heat vent and work around the rim. Each plastic fastener will make a popping noise as they release.

    • Disconnect the battery port from the motherboard by gently lifting it on both sides with the plastic opening tool.

    • Lift up the port with the tool.

    Backup battery is a CR2032 Lithium button cell. Might as well replace it while you’re in there…

    • Lift the battery out of the laptop with your hands.

    After the battery is replaced, snap the case back together. Work around the rim from the front edge toward the heat vent. Squeeze firmly and make sure each plastic catch is engaged. Use the nylon spudger as needed to make sure each catch is closed before replacing screws.
