RS McNight... I purchased a 4GB memory upgrade. I took out the 15 visible screws, but can't get the cover off. Is there hidden screws or a clip?

I have the Envy 2310 but never open it so I don't know, maybe someone else can answer the question

i think the second slot is under the top cover of the computer above the keyboard under the screen, odd place if its the one I'm thinking of. I never bothered to take it apart just for that reason. dumb place for a memory slot.

Thanks, i wound up pulling the cover over the screws. Damaging it. Screws appeared 2 b sodered down. Wound up getting a Samsung s5. I will work on the nexus n my spare time. I hope the motherboard is not going bad.

You need a 2GB stick to replace the 1 GB one that comes with the computer. I did this and had no problem except for having to remove about 10 screws.

You are in the right spot, but getting the battery cover off is a difficult job. Even the maintenance man where I live had ahard time getting it off with a flat screwdriver! I taped the screw to the bottom of the disc and just set the battery cover back in place. This was the only fault I found with this item.

Remove the front panel and look towards the bottom. The case. You should see 4 holes for the screws.

Well, you do have a dilemma. The iCracked screw drivers are pretty good when removing damaged screws, but if all else fails, the the option is to gently put a flat head plastic like a guitar pic or screw drive along with a glass suction cup and break the back cover

Use a screw driver to prise it open gently. You'll think it's going to snap but it won't, and then you can add more memory.

I have not tried to remove the heat spreader as they fit perfectly fine with it on and I am sure the manufacturer put it there for a reason, to help disperse heat from the memory. However, based purely on my memory from when I first opened the package and was looking at the memory sticks, I do not remember seeing anything on them that would indicate the cover was easily removable. I admit that I have not taken then out of my computer since to examine them but I can tell you that Kingston does offer free tech support online chat and they are very knowledgeable about their products.

Check the right side of the case just past the front cover. It's just about in line with the top accessory slot.My daughter had to find it for me so you are not alone. It's hidden pretty well.

Before I ordered I was concerned about that too. I have a Mid 2012 13-inch and I really barely notice that the cover is on the keyboard. The texture took a couple of days to get used to, but the cover itself isn't loose and doesn't come off unless I pull it up. I just turned it upside down and it still didn't come off haha.

Dremmel/grind down the top cover retaining pin, so that you can remove it completely. You can get a new pin later if you want to go back.

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

There are screws in the top, sides and the back at the top border. Just take them out and lift the case from the sides. It should come right off. I did it to remove a disc that was jammed.

Remove the bottom cover. There is a little slot on the top of the cover closest to the red power button.

Remove a plastic clip on each side in the back and it works like a charm. Squeeze them to remove them. Happy With cover

There are no screws. It clips in like the stock cover. The 6 screws are just for looks.
