    Hello,



    I have a Lenovo Yoga 710 15 80V50000U laptop and I am trying to add memory. I have opened the back but there seems to be a metal box/cover around the ram that I can't figure out how to remove.



    There are several groups (of 2) clips around each side of the metal cover and also many holes on the top/sides. Do I remove it by prying the clips and/or removing screws? If there are screws, I don't see them, could they be inside those little holes (and if so which holes)?

    Thank you,

    *UPDATE* I found THIS post and the person said they figured it out. Here is what they said:


    "...Although, it did take me a few minutes to figure out how to remove the "DDR Shield" (Picture attached). I ended up using the Torx screwdriver in the small holes on the sides of that metal shield to pry it up. After that, it was a standard RAM upgrade. That DDR shield then snapped back in place...."


    They did not, however, say which holes, how many, etc. :(
