Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 5 Steps
RAM is like your computer’s short-term memory, constantly gathering data to keep things running smoothly. If your device is feeling sluggish, it’s a good idea to swap out that RAM for a fresh set. Upgrading the RAM will give your laptop a much-needed boost in speed and performance!
Step 1
Double-check that your laptop is powered down and ready for some repair love!
– Flip the laptop over so you’re looking at the back side. Time to get that baby ready for some action!
– Grab a T5 Torx screwdriver and carefully unscrew the ten 3 mm screws around the edge of the laptop’s back. Easy does it – don’t rush, we want all the screws in one piece!

Step 2
– Pop open that little info panel door—it’s right in the middle on the backside.
– Keep the door propped open, then grab your trusty Phillips #00 Screwdriver and twist out those two 10 mm screws. Easy peasy!

Step 3
Hey, no need to muscle it! If the panel’s being a little stubborn, grab a trusty plastic spudger and gently work it where it’s sticking.
– Gently lift the two corners of the back panel near the hinge upwards to pop off the entire panel.
Step 4
– Alright, here’s the deal: you’ve got two RAM sticks chillin’ in there.
– To liberate one, give the two outer tabs a gentle push down—no need to wrestle them, just a light touch.
– Now, while you’re still pressing down, nudge those tabs outward. That’ll make the RAM stick pop up like a toast in a toaster—easy peasy!
Step 5
– Grab that RAM stick confidently by its flipped edge and give it a gentle tug—careful now—to free it from its spot.
Success!
