Introduction

Go to step 1

The following instructions will explain the process of safely replacing the RAM chips in the HP EliteBook 745 G2. RAM (random-access memory) is what is used to store any short-term information so that it can be quickly accessed again. If you are experiencing long application launch times or a sluggish and slow feeling as you use the computer, then it might be time to consider replacing the RAM chip.

Before beginning, ensure that you follow steps 1-3 to disconnect the battery as this will help keep you and the rest of the electronics safe. Using the required tools and a great deal of caution is vital as the component and the surrounding components are delicate. In case you need to acquire a new RAM chip, you can use the keyword DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module to search online for a replacement part.
