Step 2
Rear Cover
- In the battery compartment, find the phillips screw that is holding the rear panel onto the computer. Unscrew it.
- With the battery compartment closest to you, push the panel away from you. Once it slides back until it stops, gently lift it and put it to the side.
- Please note that this particular screw does not completely come out, it stays with the rear panel and that is ok.

Step 3
RAM
- On each side of each RAM card, there will be a thin strip of metal that is holding the chip down. Using tweezers or another thin tool, gently push these pins apart.
- The first RAM card should pop up on its own. Gently remove this card, and look for the two strips of metal holding the bottom card down.
- Push the pins apart just like for card one. Just like the first card, this one will pop up and you can remove it.
