    Steps to upgrade RAM on Q45 (the memory located under the keyboard).

    1. Use a small screw driver to push back the 2 spring loaded tab at the bottom of the keyboard. Left hand side-tab located below Ctrl key. Right hand side-tab located below 'Window' key. Slightly lift key board so that the tabs move below the keyboard. (refer PIC1, indicated by yellow arrow)
    2. There are 2 more fixed tabs on the left and right hand side of keyboard (refer PIC1, indicated by red arrow).
    3. Slightly bend the keyboard in middle when lifting upwards from the bottow so that the keyboard is freed from the side-tabs holding it down. Repeat procedure on either side.
    4. Lift keyboard off and take out of slots in the top of keyboard. The keyboard will still be connected by a ribbon below, take care not to pull it off. (refer PIC2).
    5. Push pins out outwards and the memory will pop upwards. remove from slot and insert new RAM (refer PIC3). Slot in the new RAM and push down to lock.
    6. slot in keyboard again at top and push down to lock the side tabs. Push using a screwdriver just above the spring loaded tabs to lock the keyboard in place.
