How to install memory or RAM in your laptop pc?

To install the memory in a laptop PC, follow these general steps:-

1. Shut down Windows, turn off your PC, and disconnect any cables.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Touch a metal object to discharge any static from your body.
4. Following the instructions in the PC’s documentation, open the memory area.
5. If you need to remove one of the existing memory modules:-

• Lay down a sheet of paper or an anti static bag (the kind computer components come in) so that you have somewhere to put the module.
• Press out with a thumb or finger on each of the spring clips at the ends
of the socket. (If the space is confined enough to make using your hands
awkward, use the eraser ends of a couple of eraser-tipped pencils.) When
the clips release, they push the memory module up and out.
• Remove the module using your fingers, and then put it on the bag or
sheet of paper.

6. Insert the new memory module:
• Remove the memory module from its protective bag.
• Align the memory module with the memory slot, making sure the notch
in the module matches the break in the socket. For many laptop memory
slots, you need to insert the memory module at an angle, as shown in
Figure
• Press the memory module down gently but firmly, so that the spring
clips engage. Figure 1-6 shows an example.

7. Close the laptop, replace the battery, and then reconnect any cables needed.
8. Restart your PC and verify that it recognizes the memory you have added. The easiest way to do this is to run CPU-Z again after Windows has loaded.
