Using a Philips Head #1 Screw Driver remove the nine .7mm screws holding the back cover in place.
The cover is held on with small plastic tabs. Starting from the back of the machine use your hands to gently prey the back cover from the machine and release these tabs. While a tool is not necessary a plastic plunger can be used to lift the first few tabs.

Step 2

Place finger nails on both of the little metal tabs that are located on shorter sides of the Ram board.
Pull tabs outward and away from the Ram card. This will detach the card from the computer and allow removal.
