Power down the laptop and disconnect it from the charger.
Flip your laptop over so the bottom is facing up.
Use a JIS screwdriver to remove the ten screws from the bottom case.
Use an opening tool to carefully pry off the back case. Move around the edges of the laptop to release the tabs securing the top and bottom halves of the device.
If the tabs reconnect, insert opening picks between the two halves to keep them separated while you continue prying the rest of the bottom case.

Pull the battery ribbon cable straight out of the socket to disconnect it from the motherboard.
If you need help, use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the battery connector to "walk" it out of its socket on the motherboard.
To reconnect the cable, hold it as close to the end as possible and insert it back into the connector. Apply force to the plastic reinforcement rather than the cable itself.
Try not to kink or crease the cable.

Use your fingers to pull the metal arms (located on both sides of the RAM stick) away from it slightly to release the existing RAM module(s) and carefully remove them.
The RAM will pop up by a few millimeters.
Remove it at an angle and not straight up so you don't damage the socket.
Align the new RAM module with the slot, matching the notch on the module to the key in the slot. Firmly press down until the clips on both sides snap into place, securing the RAM.
Reassemble your device, and follow the above steps in reverse order.
