To replace RAM (Random Access Memory) in a computer, you will need to follow these steps:
- Power off the computer and unplug it from the wall.
- Remove the computer’s cover, which is typically held in place by a few screws or clips.
- Locate the RAM slots on the motherboard. These are typically located near the CPU and are long, thin slots with small tabs on either end.
- Press down on the tabs on either end of the RAM slot to release the current RAM module. Carefully pull the module out of the slot.
- Carefully align the new RAM module with the slot, making sure that the notches on the module line up with the tabs on the slot.
- Gently press down on the module until it clicks into place.
- Replace the computer’s cover and plug it back in.
- Turn on the computer and check if the new RAM is recognized and working correctly.
Note: It’s important to ground yourself before handling computer hardware to avoid electrostatic discharge that can damage the components.
