15-ay028ur RAM upgrade

[serg_rc]

I recently bought a laptop 15-ay028ur. The laptop was sold with 2GB of RAM. I want to increase memory up to 4 GB, but do not know how to disassemble the laptop. Can you help ? Maybe - there is some instruction?

Hi.

Welcome to the forum serg_rc.

Installing memory

Most HP and Compaq notebook computers are designed so that additional memory can be added using a Phillips screwdriver. Use the following steps to install memory in your computer. After reviewing the steps, if you are not confident in performing the installation yourself, contact an HP authorized support provider for technical assistance.

 NOTE:

If someone other than HP installs or upgrades the memory, any damage caused by the memory and/or by a person trying to install or upgrade the memory is excluded from coverage under the product warranty. The customer assumes all risk and liability for damages for any such installation or upgrade.

 NOTE:

These steps will work for most notebook computer models. To find steps for your specific computer, enter your computer model number and replace memory into the search field at the top of this window. For example, if you have an HP Mini 210-3000, you would search for 210-3000 replace memory. If you cannot find a memory replacement procedure for your computer model, check the User Guides.

Step 1: Remove electrical power

To remove all power from the computer and prevent accidental damage to the electronic components, do the following:

1. Turn off the computer by pressing and holding down the Power button for about 30 seconds.
2. Unplug the AC adaptor from the notebook.
3. Slide and hold the battery release latch to the unlock position.
4. Use your finger to lift the battery up and out.

Step 2: Insert the memory

Follow these steps to insert the new memory:

1. Turn the notebook over and place it on a firm surface.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover on the memory module compartment.

   2. Direction to remove compartment cover
3. With the cover removed, and before you touch the memory, ground yourself to discharge any static electricity.

    NOTE:

   To ground yourself, and discharge any static electricity, place one hand on the case of the computer and touch the other hand to a metal surface or grounded object, such as the metal part of a lamp.

4. If you need to remove memory before installing the new memory, release the memory using a small wooden tool, or fingernail, to spread the clips holding the ends of the memory in place.

    CAUTION:

   To prevent damage to the memory module, grasp the memory module by the side edges. Do not touch the metal contacts.

5. Place any removed memory modules in an anti-static bag for protection.
6. Remove the new memory from the protective anti-static bag and hold the memory by the side edges.
7. Place the gold contacts into the connector (bracket) and gently, but firmly, press the memory into place. The clips will click when the memory is properly seated.

8. Replace the cover and tighten the retention screws.

Step 3: Replace electrical power

Replace the power and turn on the computer using these steps:

1. Plug the connection from the AC adapter into the notebook, and then connect the AC adapter to a working power supply.
2. With the computer turned off, push the battery into the base enclosure until the retention clips click into position.
3. Turn on the computer and allow it to reconfigure and recognize the additional memory and improve performance.
