Kevin, sorry to say this but this is really easy to do.
The ram and the hard drive really won't go in wrong.
If you open the cover on the ram, you can see which
way to put it in.
If you open the cover for the HD and pull it out
You will see how to do that also.
The one tip I must add since it's winter, is to
get the humidity up in the place where you are working
, do it in the kitchen with a pot of water boiling and wear all
cotton clothes.
Dry air and "plastic" clothing build up static electricity and thats
murder on all electronic parts especially ram chips.
You can check this out by kneading packing peanuts.
If they stick to your hands, you have a high static condition.
Cheers, Bert
