Introduction

The RAM is located underneath a metal cover on the motherboard so it will not be immediately visible upon opening the case. However, the metal cover can be easily pried from the motherboard, for it is affixed by a clip mechanism rather than screws or glue. To replace the metal cover, be sure to align all four sides of the cover with each of the clips and simply press it into place.

What you need

Step 1

              Back Case Removal

  • Use a T5 screwdriver to remove all 10 screws that secure the bottom cover.
  • Pull off the back cover of the laptop.
  • A pry tool may be needed to pull off the back cover.

One question: I have this model and have determined that I have a bad stick of RAM. I have removed this stick but still have 8 gigs available. Is there another stick that I m not seeing or is this built in?
