I added an additional 8gb ddr4. There is a silver cover that you must pry open from the bottom corner of the cover using a very small flat head screwdriver. Peel back the black tape that is attached to the silver cover.
Is this on the MB when you remove the bottom laptop cover, or do you have to remove the MB to get to the silver cover you're referring to?
no need to remove the board, just remove the back cover of the unit and you have access to the drive and ram..it's a very good machine with the SSD and 12gbram installed, some won't need the additional ram...everyone should install an ssd
Hi, Rick, can't agree you more, I just replaced my disk to SSD last week, you know what? it's amazing! My ASUS Q304UA became totally smooth beyond my expect. I don't need to wait for computer response any more, everything is running so fast. I also installed win10 pro system to my new SSD, that's work better than the win10 home edition I think.
The next step I am gonna do is to change the RAM to new one, maybe 8g I think, 4+2g is kind of low to me. the memory percent usually goes around 80%.
As there is only on slot I can use, I plan to buy a 8g memory chip. which is similar with what questioner may wanna to do. Hope we can find a pleased one finally.
Another I need to point out is the RAM is DDR3, not DDR4, at least in mine. I have double check with 2 different test tools.
