Thanks for this guide! I purchased some RAM and an SSD and wanted to upgrade my laptop. The instructions were clear, and I was able to follow along to max out my laptop’s RAM at 64GB. All I needed was a size #0 phillips head, and a couple of spudgers.
I’m glad it could help!
Thanks for the feedback.
any suggestion on cable removal wish I could get a picture to enlarge seems to be the only worry area for me
any instructions on how to remove the cable I see what look like tabs or is there some kind of release
