properly ground yourself before attempting any of the
following procedures either by using a wrist grounding strap
or by periodically touching an exposed, unpainted metal
surface.

replacements on a solid, clean, flat surface.
CAUTION: Damage resulting from the servicing of your computer
that is not authorized by TabletKiosk is not covered by your
computer’s standard or optional extended warranty.

You can increase your tablet’s memory by installing a RAM
(Random Access Memory) module on the computer’s system
