Parts

-
Remove the rubber strips on the bottom of the laptop. These will need to be replaced so make sure you have replacements before starting. The part number is L93198-001 but I needed to contact support for a replacement.
-
There may be a transparent piece of adhesive that will also need to be removed. Remember to use plastic tools to avoid scratching the plastic cover.
-
The screws are philips M2.0 and Torx5 M2.0.
-
With all 6 philips screws and the torx screw removed, use a plastic pick to separate the bottom cover from the case. There are small plastic clips that need to be popped open, be gentle.
-
With the pick move around the entire cover separating it then simply lift the cover off.

-
The RAM/memory is located under the metal shield.
-
Remove the metal tape, being gentle to not tear it, leave it attached to the other shield.
-
Pull up the shield using a plastic tool or other sharp object. There are small metal clips all around the shield, these don't need to be touched, gently force will pop the cover off.
-

-
With the memory exposed, actuate the clips on either side of the modules. The stick will pop free.
-
Remove the sticks and put them somewhere safe. Put the replacement sticks in as the others were found.
-
Use gentle downwards pressure until the clips make a sound and the RAM is all the way down, as the other RAM was.

-
Replace the cover, making sure to place it back into the small metal clips
-
Put the tape back so that the shield is grounded.
-
Place the cover back onto the device and using gentle pressure, go all around the edge pushing until the cover clips back to the case.
-
Once the cover is clipped back to the case, put the 9 screws back in.
-
Then using the new rubber feet, peel off the adhesive and place them in their grove.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
