This replacement guide is difficult only because in order to replace the RAM, the motherboard need to be taken out of the device completely. However, replacing the RAM itself is not hard at all. so basically all the hard work is to unplug the motherboard completely and take it out to reach the RAM.

There is another screw that needs to be removed located at the left vent- inward, towards the battery.
This is something I didn’t spot straight away and took me a little while to notice.
Cheers!
