HP Touchsmart IQ506 RAM (Memory) Replacement

ID: 66745

Description: If your RAM has failed or you need to add more ...

Steps:

1. Due to the EET missing several components present in the Pro Tech Go and only being $20 cheaper, the EET has been removed. The EET will work for this guide as-is, but if you are shopping for a new toolkit to complete this guide, the Pro Tech Go (new or refurbished, refurbished is ~$32 cheaper), or Pro Tech ($79 new/~$59.95 refurb) is the current recommended toolkit for this guide.
2. If you are interested in a refurbished kit stock levels change frequently but can be found here.
3. Unplug the power brick from the system.

4. Unscrew the RAM door using a Phillips #1 screwdriver. Snap the RAM door off from the bottom and slide it off.

5. With the RAM exposed, remove the RAM from the slots on the system by pushing the tabs back. Once you do this the RAM will pop up and you can remove it.
6. Install the new RAM. Make sure you line the tab up on the memory with the slot in the system. It should only go in one way.
