    Guys, is there a guide on how to access the memory RAM slots under the keyboard in the MSI GT680r? I've tried looking it up but couldn't find any. Any help would be appreciated! :)

    Hello, hello

    Take the battery off, unscrew all screws that battery normally covers when attached (i don't know witch one exactly) :) take a flat screwdriver and "tick" the keyboard up ( from the upper side ) this should relase it :D

    cheers

    Thanks alot flingin! There's only one thing I'm not sure about. I'm not sure exactly which part of the keyboard do i tick. Because there's also another gap surrounding the keyboard which looks pull-able.

    This might help, It might be a little different, but should follow the general idea for yours. Starting around minute 3 is were it gets into the keyboard. Just remember that at that point in the video the screws from under the battery have already been removed.

    If not a small screwdriver you can also use a paperclip. As flingin stated be gentle. :)
