    • Use a spudger, the tips of your fingers, or a flat non-metal tool to get under the modem's edge and pry it up from its socket as shown in the picture.

    • Disconnect the cable from the right side of the modem.

    • Disconnect the keyboard cable from the logic board by pulling directly up on the clear plastic loop.

    • Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip at the same time. These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.

    • Pull the RAM chip out.

    • There are RAM slots on both sides of the processor. We recommend installing higher capacity chips on the bottom so that if you want to upgrade later, you won't have to remove the processor.

    If the only task is removing/replacing the screen, the RAM need not be removed.
