In this guide we will be replacing the memory, also known as RAM chip. Whether you wish to upgrade your current memory, or want to replace a faulty chip, this guide will ensure that it will be done safely and effectively.

When working with electronic components, we recommend wearing an electrostatic wristband, it is possible for the static electricity present on you to discharge onto one of the components, wearing one of these wristbands and clipping it to a piece of metal will prevent this from happening.
