• Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip by simultaneously pushing each tab away from the RAM.

• Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.
• Logic board remains.
• If you need to mount the heat sink back onto the logic board, we have a thermal paste guide that makes replacing the thermal compound easy.
