Introdução

This guide will walk you through replacing the RAM in a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1. Upgrading or replacing RAM can improve performance and multitasking, or fix a faulty module.

The T14 Gen 1 supports DDR4 RAM at 3200 MHz or 2666 MHz, up to 32 GB.

Before you start:

  • Shut down the laptop completely.
  • Clear your workspace of clutter and liquids—this will keep both you and your laptop safe.
  • Take care around the battery. Puncturing it or using tools carelessly could create a fire hazard.
  • Organize your screws and small parts so nothing gets lost.

    • Turn off your laptop completely before starting the disassembly process.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to loosen the following captive screws:

    • The top two 6.8 mm corner screws

    • Four 5.8 mm-long screws

    • The screws will remain in the case when fully loosened.

    You might not need to remove the screws. My laptops back cover had all screws held in place with washers. You just need to untighten them.

    ...also worth mentioning: Three of the screws are philips size 0, the ones near the hinges and the one closest to the center.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the bottom panel.

    • Insert the end of the opening tool into the seam between the bottom and top cover.

    • Slide the opening tool around the edge of the bottom panel to release the clips holding them together.

    • The popping sounds during this process is normal.

    • Gently remove the bottom panel.

    • Using too much force can break the plastic clips securing the bottom panel.

    Make sure to remove the blank cover from the SIM card slot on the rear it you have one.

    • Using both thumbs gently push the two latches on either side of the slot apart to free the RAM.

    • Slide the RAM stick out from the slot on the motherboard.

    • When inserting a new RAM stick, align the notch on the RAM with the notch in the slot. When it is securely inserted, press down to click it into place.
