Use this guide to replace the RAM in your Lenovo ThinkPad T470.

RAM (short for “random access memory”) provides temporary storage for a computer. RAM enables a computer to run with optimal speed and performance. Some signs of faulty RAM include the blue screen of death, sluggish performance, or random crashes and reboots.

This laptop is equipped with two RAM slots and a maximum RAM capacity of 32 GB. You can run a RAM diagnostic tool to see if replacement is needed.

Before beginning this guide, make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources.
