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.

6. Seat the cover and secure it with screws. 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. Otherwise, you may get burnt if
you touch the memory modules.
■ Do not touch the connectors on the memory module or on the
computer. Debris on the connectors may cause memory access
problems.
