How to Remove RAM from Your Laptop

The illustration above shows the proper technique for removing the memory module slot cover on the bottom of a laptop.

Carefully remove the screw that holds the cover over the memory compartment.

Hold the screwdriver at a right angle to the bottom of the laptop and turn the screw carefully; it shouldn’t require a lot of force to remove. Once the screw is removed, put it in a safe place. Use a piece of clear tape to attach it to the desktop or the side of the computer.

Ground yourself before touching the memory module.

Touch any grounded metal surface, like a light stand, or touch the center screw on an electrical outlet.

Carefully release the latches on the side of the module holder.

Lift it to an approximately 30-degree angle from the bottom surface of the laptop.

Gently slide the module out of its connector and out of the slot.
