HP EliteBook 8560w Memory Replacement

Introduction

Hello, this guide will help you replace the memory in a HP EliteBook 8560w.

Keep in mind that this model has two pairs of memory: one pair below the back panel and another below the keyboard. We’ll describe the steps for both.

Usually, a computer’s memory needs to be replaced when a message of “not enough memory” pops up in your screen. However, check out our troubleshooting page to see if your problem falls into a different category.

No, this doesn't work.
This "push rather hard" is the easiest way to damage your keyboard. It doesn’t work — be careful.
I tried to remove the keyboard carefully for about half an hour; the result was a damaged Insert key, and the keyboard still wouldn’t come off.
Thanks a lot, “experts”.
