Remove the RAM door

EET owners: Your kit has this bit. No purchase needed.
If you are removing this cover to upgrade/replace your lower RAM module, the keyboard screw DOES NOT need to be removed.
WWAN ready systems ship with antenna covers over these cables. Someone installed a WLAN card in this T420 which disabled the better card and was removed.
Loosen the screw in red (Phillips #2). This screw stays captive in the bottom RAM door cover, and does not need to be removed.
Pull the cover up with a fingernail or a nonmarring pry tool.
Remove the screw retaining the keyboard.
