Tomorrow I'm going to try to take apart my laptop to upgrade my RAM. I have 6GB in there now, and I hope to have 12 by the end of tomorrow. I've watched a few videos now to get myself acquainted with the process, though I'm still nervous because I practically need to take apart half of my computer to get at my RAM.

I'm lucky enough to have 2 RAM slots (2GB and 4GB), but one of the slots is located underneath the motherboard. So I gotta pull it out completely to access it. Since I have never done this before, the how-to videos I have seen have felt daunting. I'm getting a grasp at what to do and what I have to remove, my biggest worry are all the cables I gotta pull off that motherboard.

If you are interested to see what I'm up against:

I'm hoping I don't need to literally gut the thing and then try to put it back together. My goal is the motherboard, get it out, swap some RAM cards, put it back.
