Einleitung

Random Access Memory, or RAM (pronounced as ramm), is the physical hardware inside a computer that temporarily stores data, serving as the computer's "working" memory. It it held in by 2 clips on the sides of the unit, and will pop upward when released.

    • Locate the rubber feet at every corner of the laptop back panel. Use the ifixit prying tool, and break the adhesive between the rubber feet, and the case.

    • Screws securing the back panel underneath the adhesive will be exposed.

    • Removing the rubber feet will weaken the adhesive making reassembly difficult. Apply new adhesive if you choose to place the rubber feet back on to the device.

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the ten 0.2mm screws from the bottom cover.

    • Keep track of the screws and their placement on the laptop. This will help make reassembly easier and more organized.

    • Pull up on the RAM unit at a 45 degree angle to release it from the retention bars.

Abschluss
