Introduction
The RAM is the part that collects the data for the computer. You will want to replace this because the computer is running slow. Replacing the RAM will allow the laptop to run faster.

Turn the laptop upside down.

Use a T5 Torx Screwdriver to remove the ten 3 mm long screws from the perimeter of the back of the laptop.

While holding the door open, use a Phillips #00 Screwdriver to remove the two 10 mm long screws.

While still pushing down, gently push the tabs outwards, causing the RAM stick to flip up.

Firmly grasp the RAM stick from the flipped up edge and gently pull out, to release the RAM stick.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
