Whilst the power cord is attached, but the power is turned off at the wall, open your computer's casing, making sure you earth yourself against the metal casing of your computer (reduces static), carefully remove the RAM card/s from the motherboard. (see below example images). To remove, swing back the clips at either end of the RAM card holders, until the card can be easily removed from it's slot. Taking a pencil eraser (silicon is best) or natural rubber. and carefully rub the eraser against the contacts along the edge (both sides) of the card/s to bring the shine back to the contacts thus removing any tarnish that may have built up over time. To re-insert the cards, ensure the locator slot on the card is aligned with the seperator peg in the slot, gently push the card back into the slot until it sits squarely and both retaining clips return to the locked position.
