This guide is meant to help you to replace the RAM in a Lenovo Ideapad 320-15IAP. Initial disassembly is very simple as only the back case of the laptop needs to be removed. The RAM cover should then be directly visible and replacement is simple from there. RAM might need replacement if apps or programs take too long to start, or if you experience frequent crashes. You also may want to upgrade your RAM if your computer starts to feel a little sluggish, as an upgrade will increase the performance of your computer to allow it to function faster during more compute intensive tasks such as gaming, video editing, or 3D modeling.

Unscrew thirteen 6.5mm screws from the back panel with the Phillips #0 screwdriver.
Pull the CD tray out with an opening tool once all of the screws are removed.
Use the opening tool to pull the case off the laptop by prying up the back panel along the edges of the computer. It helps to start from the "DVD drive" slot.

Gently pull the metal holders on each side of the memory card away from each other and the card should pop up to rest at an angle to the motherboard.
Pull the memory card straight out of its socket with respect to the angle it now rests.
When reinserting the replacement RAM card, be sure to slide it in gently at the same angle at which the old one rested, then press the outer edge down until the clips on either side have clasped around it.
