To remove a RAM expansion module
You may want to remove a RAM module so you can install a larger one. Youll need
a small Phillips screwdriver for these steps.
CAUTION
Your notebook internal components are extremely sensitive to static electricity
and can be permanently damaged by it. Handle the RAM module only by its
edges. Before installing the memory module, discharge your body’s static
electricity by touching the metal shielding around the connectors on the back
of the notebook.
1. Select Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off.
2. Important: unplug the AC adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
3. Turn the unit bottom-side up, loosen the screws holding the RAM cover, and
remove the cover.
