The memory module on your motherboard
If the motherboard on your laptop computer is damaged or broken, you may need to replace it with a new one--such as an ASRock-model 775Dual-880 Pro. Before you install the new motherboard on your computer, make sure it has the appropriate amount of memory. If you discover that the memory on the ASRock needs to be upgraded, you can do it without the help of a technician.
Instructions
1. Locate the rectangular and green memory modules in the two memory compartments in the middle of the motherboard.
2. Pull the metal tabs on either side of the first memory module outward in order to release the module from its compartment. The module will pop up at a 45-degree angle. Repeat the process with the second module.
3. Pull the modules gently out of the compartments and replace them with the new modules. Make sure that the new modules are both DDM (Double Data Rate) memory modules, and are both the same brand, speed, size and chip-type.
4. Push the memory modules down at a 45-degree angle until the metal tabs lock in place. The modules will now be secure, and the memory on your motherboard will be upgraded.
