Introduction

This guide will show you how to remove the back panel and replace the 2 RAM modules in the HP G62-144DX.

What you need

1. Step 1 Battery
  Make sure to turn off the laptop before removing the battery.
  
  Slide the lock to the right, located slightly above the battery location.
  
  While pulling the lock, pull the battery out, keeping it flat and parallel to the laptop so that it slides out easily.

  Unscrew the three Phillips 2.5x6 screws in the L-shaped panel on the back with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
  
  The screws will stay in the panel, but will come loose from the body of the laptop.
  
  Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry the panel free from the laptop.
