That was far and away the hardest computer upgrade I've ever done. So many little cables that I didn't notice were trapped until I had the motherboard back in, had to redo it so many times. And a couple of times I couldn't get the mobo lined up right and had to redo some more. I'm a little shocked the computer still works. 2 hours!
Wow, thanks. That was much easier. I unscrewed the corner Torx screw holding the mobo down for just a touch of flex.
Used a couple of screw drivers to pull the tabs out
It helps if you have done a bunch of memory upgrades so you have a feel for how to get the chips in.
OK, so not going to do that ever.

Are we sure that the higher end models will have soldered RAM as well?
