Step 3 — Memory Cover
Unscrew the three evenly-spaced
Phillips screws from along the rear
wall of the battery compartment.
The screws are captive to the metal
memory cover so you cannot lose
them.
Using The Flexible Extension sold
by iFixit will help with this step.
Step 4
Grasp the right end of the L-shaped
memory cover, then pull it towards
you so it clears the battery
compartment opening.
Lift the memory cover up and out of
the computer.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Step 5 — Pull the RAM out
Pull back on the metal lever and
slide the RAM chip out from its
compartment.
Unlike the iBook line, the MacBook
has two SO-DIMM RAM slots.
When installing RAM, be sure to
push the chips in firmly or else the
computer will not register them.
