Sony Vaio PCG-432L RAM Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide is very easy to complete, because back in the day computers were easier to take apart! Hope you enjoy. The only thing is that I cannot find replacement RAM, so if you can find replacement RAM for this particular machine I will include you in the honorable mentions. A picture of the RAM with the label is on step 1 on the second photo.

      • Flip the computer over and open the lid. Then take the trackpad/wrist-rest off the computer slightly but not too fast because there is a ribbon cable to disconnect. Once you have disconnected the ribbon cable set aside the assembly

      • Be careful! There is a delicate ribbon cable to detach before fully removing the assembly. Damaging/ripping this cable will render your trackpad useless.

      • Insert your replacement RAM into the slot, then push down gently until the plastic holders click and hold the RAM into place.

      • If the RAM does not go down fairly easily when you put it in, adjust it, don’t keep pushing because that’s an easy way to break your RAM.

      • Re-connect the ribbon cable from the trackpad/wrist-rest, then place the assembly down onto it’s mount and close the computer lid, and then flip it back over.
