Acer Aspire One 725-0845 RAM Replacement

Introduction

The RAM chip is necessary for even basic operation of the device, providing memory for the computer's processing. If there is not enough memory on your RAM chip, the device will run very slowly and may become unresponsive. If your RAM is corrupted or improperly mounted, the computer will fail to clear POST (Power On Self-Test) and will be unusable. If you have followed the steps in the Troubleshooting Guide and found that you need a RAM upgrade, this step-by-step guide will lead you through the process of removing the battery, back-plate, and RAM chip.
