Articles > Carrying out notebook upgradesWhen you start repairing or upgrading of the notebook computer, make sure that the system is fully powered down, not just hibernating, then remove the notebook battery. It is a vital step. If you miss it, damage of the system can occur or you can get a shock when open up the machine. To dissipate any static in your body touch something metal; bear in mind that you should continue doing this now and then if you're going to be working on the notebook for a long time. Once you're into the case, remove elements carefully, keep an eye out for small wires and ribbon cables. Unless you need to access the PSU or motherboard, it's rare that notebook have to be fully disassembled. Take care with the screws as you remove them from the case. We recommend even to write down where you retrieved them from and put the corresponding screws next to the description. For example, if you've removed five screws from the back panel, then write down 'Back panel – five screws'. It will save you a lot of time when you come to the reassembly stage. Some HP, Apple, IBM notebooks models have a unique identifier printed next to each screw. RAM is quite simple to upgrade. Usually you can access RAM slots without taking your notebook apart at all; many modern laptops (Dell, HP, Apple, Compac, Fujitsu, Gateway, IBM, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba) have memory access ports that are covered by a single plate. Adding RAM enhances system performance by reducing virtual memory requirements and swap file. The more RAM is available, the more effectively different programs will run. Intel's Turbo Memory system – named Robson – takes a step further. Flash memory on a PCI Express mini card is applied and this reduces the load on the hard disk by moving your recently accessed files to an onboard solid state drive. Intel states that this significantly boosts disk performance. The PCI Express mini card slot is more commonly used in modern notebooks for Wi-Fi provision. Sometimes if your old machine has an accessible slot, there is already a Wi-Fi card in it. Some notebooks may have a spare second slot, so check notebook’s specification as this can provide the most interesting upgrade routes available to notebooks’ owners.
