Introduction

RAM modules are used for providing fast-access storage for the operating system to function.

Before you start with this guide, make sure you have powered off your laptop and you have the replacement ram ready. The ram that comes with this laptop is ddr4 2400 MHz. Ideally, you need to find a RAM module with the same specs. A faulty RAM will result in an unbootable laptop.

Make sure you have the right-sized the screwdriver, so you will not strip your screws.

• Remove the five 5.5mm Phillips #1 screws securing the back cover.
