    • Loosen the screw holding the back panel for RAM in place using a Phillips #0 screwdriver. Once loosened, lift the panel up and set it aside.

    • The screw holding the panel in place should not come completely out. If it does, do not be alarmed as it will still screw back in.

I cannot lift up the “back cover” (step 1). I’ve twirled the screw left for minutes and tried to lift up the panel using a small flathead screwdriver and it will not lift up. HELP!
