    • Flip over the laptop and position it with the battery being furthest away from you.

    • Remove the four screws on the edges of the T-Shaped plate with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Remove the T-Shaped plate from the back of the computer. It should come off easily if all four aforementioned screws are removed.

    • Screw length 6.35 mm, head 3.175 mm

    • Locate the two thin metal tracks that hold each RAM in place.

    • Using light pressure, press the tracks outward and the RAM should pop up.

    • A light pull on the RAM should remove it with no issues.

    • Repeat from the second step to the third step to remove the second chip.

    • On reassembly, the RAM may provide some difficulty to put it back in. Be patient and slide the ram back in the metal track and apply pressure to make sure that it is in.

    • Be sure that it is in the track so the pins do not bend. A "click" sound may be heard to indicate when it is fully seated.

Abschluss

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