Edit Step 34 ¶

Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip by simultaneously pushing each tab away from the chip.
These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.

Edit Step 35 ¶

After the RAM chip has popped up, pull it straight out of its socket.
Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.
When reinstalling your logic board, don't forget to apply a new layer of thermal paste.
