    There is a phillips head screw in the center of the machine, on the bottom. Unscrew and don't lose.

    Now open flip the laptop over, open the screen. Look at the edges of the keyboard. You should see metallic tabs along the bottom. CAREFULLY use a small screw driver to press one tab in. CAREFULLY lift up the keyboard slightly and repeat for the other tab.

    Once they keyboard is unsecured, lift it up and towards you SLIGHTLY...it's connected with a ribbon cable and could dislodge if you move it too much. You should see the memory slots underneath. Throw in your new modules and reverse the steps. Don't forget to put the screw back in the bottom.
