Removing a memory module
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.
2. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery and the screws
securing the memory module cover.
3. Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the cover and lift it off.
4. Lift one side of the insulator and push the latches to the outside to
release the module. A spring will force one end of the module up.
5. Grasp the module by the sides and pull it out.
Removing the memory module
6. Seat the cover and secure it with screws and replace the battery pack.
■ 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. 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.
