Introduction

RAM, or random access memory, is a form of computer data storage. RAM is used to quickly read and write data which the computer needs rapid access to. If a computer is running very slowly, it may not have enough RAM. In this scenario, the computer reads and writes to 'virtual RAM', also known as 'pagefile', on the hard drive. This is much slower.

Unscrew the six screws on the back panel of the laptop using a PH1 Phillips bit.

The screws are attached to the panel. When unscrewing be sure to stop when you hear a click.

Step 3

Push retention clips outward and then gently slide out of slot

Step 4

Remove white and black wires to make room to remove the second RAM module.

Step 5

Just like RAM Module 1, push retention clips outward and gently slide out the RAM Module.
When re-installing RAM modules, be sure to insert them at a 45 degree angle. This is the same angle that they should pop up to after the retention clips are pushed outward.
