If you have not replaced the original factory-installed screws in
the memory compartment cover, you will need a Torx T-8
screwdriver to remove the screws.
If you have replaced the original factory-installed screws in the
memory compartment cover with the two security screws supplied
with the computer, you must use the screwdriver supplied with the
computer to remove and reinsert the screws.
