Removing a memory module

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules will become hot. In this case, let the memory modules cool to room temperature before you replace them.

To remove the memory module, make sure the computer is in boot mode then:

1.Be sure the power is off and all cables are disconnected from the computer.

Do not try to remove a memory module with the computer turned on. You can damage the computer and the module.

2.Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery and loosen the screw securing the memory module socket cover.

3.Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.

4.Push the latches to the outside to release the module. A spring will force one end of the module up.
