Introduction
This guide explains how to replace the RAM stick in your Lenovo ThinkPad T430s. The RAM stick stores information before it heads to the central processing unit (CPU), which sorts it.
If your ThinkPad runs slowly, uses most of the memory space, or doesn’t allow you to run multiple programs at once, you may need to replace your RAM stick.
