Step 5
- Pull the RAM out of the laptop in the direction the RAM is pointing at to remove it.
- When inserting RAM into the laptop, make sure that when you fold the RAM down the tabs are holding it in place. You may hear a “click” from the tabs when you fold the RAM down. That means that the tabs should be holding the RAM.
