Introduction

In this guide, we will be showing you how to remove and replace the Memory Module.

  1. vtR6pYA44uepLkYQ

    • Slide the release latch to unlock the battery cover.

    • Slide and lift the battery cover to remove it from the computer.

  2. cbqOBvwquEbKqDgS

    • Slide the release latch to unlock the battery cover.

    • Slide and lift the battery cover to remove it from the computer.

    This should be called "removing the battery", isn't it?

    • Remove the screws that secure the hard drive to the computer.

    • Lift the hard-drive latch to the unlock position.

    • Slide and lift the hard drive from the computer.

    • Remove the screws that secure the hard drive. Lift the hard drive away from the bracket.

    Why is this necessary for replacing the keyboard?

    • Peel the tape to access the cable.

    • Lift the tab and disconnect the keyboard cables from the system board.

  6. cLYGuXCZ3UrR5bHC

    • Pry the keyboard trim starting from bottom and work along the top edge and remove it away from the computer.

    • Remove the screws that secure the keyboard to the computer.

    • Lift the front side and slide the keyboard to remove it away from the computer.

  7. SaYsFTLMmWh3PpXv

    • Remove the screw that secures the memory shield to the computer.

    • Lift and remove the memory shield from the computer.

    • Pry the retention clips away from the memory module until it pops up.

    • Lift the memory module and remove it from the computer.

    Between this and the next step, there should be at least one step for removing the bottom body plate.

    Doing so would appear to require removing to screws under the battery cover (removed in step 1) near the left and right corners of the plate (on tabs that extend under the battery cover), and 4 screws on the back of the laptop. I don't know if Dell hid additional screws under the rear rubber feet, like HP likes to do, as I haven't disassembled my 7510 yet.

Thanks Johnathan. Step 4 is unnecessary.
