    I received a new stick of RAM and am trying to get it into my X220. Does anyone know how to install it? I checked the Lenovo site and their user guide doesn't really work, as there is no way to get any sort of force behind the stick to push it in.

    I feel like I need to remove the entire bottom, but am hoping someone out there has a trick to it.

    Did you read the Thinkpad sticky? If you did you would have found this link. Pretty self-explanatory I think..

    Thanks, I did not think to check the sticky. The video made it more clear--I didn't realize you were supposed to put the RAM in there in an angled fashion.
