      • After the battery is removed, you can easily loosen the two screws shown using a Phillips screwdriver.

      • ATTENTION: Here is a guarantee seal! You have to break this to remove the back cover. Your warranty claims will therefore be lost! (Translator's note: This is not always true, check the law where you live.)

      • ATTENTION: When installing a new stick, you must pay attention to the installation direction. Additionally, only a DDR3 SODIMM stick fits in it, others have the 'notch' in a different place! (red arrows denote the notch in the memory stick and where it must be aligned for installation)

      • Insert the new stick at the same approximately 45 degree angle, seating the memory into the slot notch aligned then press it downwards (towards the laptop). the latches will 'pop back into place when it is correctly positioned.
