Removing a memory module

To remove the memory module, follow the steps as detailed below:
1.

Shut down the computer - make sure the Power indicator is off (refer
to the

Turning off the power

section in Chapter 1, Getting Started if

required).

2.

Remove the AC adaptor and all cables and peripherals connected to
the computer.

3.

Close the display panel.

4.

Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack.

5.

Loosen the screws securing the memory module cover in place -
please note that the screws are attached to the cover in order to
prevent them from being lost.

6.

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

7.

Push the latches away from the module in order to release it - a spring
will force one end of the module up at an angle.

8.

Grasp the module by its edges and remove it from the computer.

If you use the computer for a long time, the memory modules and the
circuits locating close to the memory modules will become hot. In this
case, let them cool to room temperature before you replace them. Or
you will get burnt if you touch any of them.
Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the
computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access
problems.
