Can you change the ram without removing the logic board

You can see the lower RAM chip in this image I would think that unlatching, and re-latching the locks, as well as finagling the upper chip (which apparently will not be completely uncovered in your method) out and back into place around the speaker could be difficult.

There's a safe way, and your proposed way. IMnsHO it would be wiser, to take the extra steps to do this job the "long way" rather than risk damaging parts searching for a "shortcut".

Take pictures if you do this, make good notes, and if successful you can submit a guide for it.
