Lenovo Thinkpad E540 RAM Replacement
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 6 Steps
Ready to swap out the RAM on your Lenovo ThinkPad E540? It’s a pretty simple process, but here’s a pro tip: if you’re replacing one stick, it’s a good idea to just replace both at the same time. That way, your laptop will run like new and you won’t have to worry about mismatched memory. Let’s dive in and get your device back to its speedy self!
Step 1
– Slide both battery release switches outward at the same time.
Step 2
– Take out the battery carefully to get started.
Step 3
– Take out the three 1.2mm Phillips #00 screws from the bottom panel—easy does it!
Step 4
– Grab a plastic opening tool and gently work it under the bottom panel to lift it off. Take your time—no rush, it’ll come off with a little nudge.
Step 5
These tabs keep the chip secure, and when you release them, the chip will give a little ‘pop’ and lift right up. No stress, just a little click and you’re on your way!
– Gently press on both tabs at the sides of the chip, pushing them away from the RAM to release it. It’s like giving the chip a little space to breathe.
Step 6
– Gently slide the RAM out of your laptop. It’s like giving it a little vacation!
