Introduction
Replacing the RAM module with a larger capacity one is a easy way to speed up your computer. Make sure the new RAM module is compatible before you install it.
What you need
-
-
Position the laptop so that the bottom enclosure is facing upward.
-
Use a Phillips #0 Screwdriver to remove the ten 1.9mm screws holding the bottom enclosure in place.
-
Use an opening tool to carefully pry up the rubber pads.
-
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws under the rubber pads, which secure the keyboard.
-
-
-
Flip the laptop over and swing open the display.
-
Lift the edge of the keyboard closest to the trackpad up.
-
Carefully disconnect keyboard ribbon cable from the laptop.
-
Remove the keyboard.
-
-
-
-
Grab the front edge of the top assembly and lift it up carefully.
-
Gently slide the three ribbon cables out of their slots.
-
Remove the top assembly completely by pulling it off of the device.
You need to remove the keyboard too otherwise you will miss the 2 screws underneath!
I’m pretty sure all you need to do is remove 4 screws on the back (2 under the foot pads on the upper side and 2 in the middle, all beneath the keyboard), then loosen the keyboard from the top slide forward and up, not the whole cover, then the dimm slot is right there

Excelente… easy and simply.
At Step 3. Replace the memory now that it is exposed. You don't have to do steps 4-5, I don't think you have to remove the 10 small screws either.
Just the Philips under the foot tabs and carefully remove the keyboard, pull the tabs back that secure the memory and replace with new memory.
under the rubber pads can be, or are? the bottom pads are much more secured.

2 of them. The 2 near the screen hinges. They release the keyboard.
