Introduction
This will serve as a guide to replace the RAM (Random Access Memory) in a Lenovo V14 ADA MODEL NUMBER: 82C6S03E00, either for repair or upgrade purposes. RAM acts as the short term storage in a system, only containing data for applications that are currently in use. It enables the system to run much faster that it would if it always had to read application data from a drive.
When upgrading or replacing RAM in a system, it is important to know the generation of RAM your system will accept. In this system, the RAM used is PC4, or DDR4. Using a different generation of RAM will make the laptop not function. When purchasing a new RAM module for this replacement, ensure that it is a DDR4 SODIMM RAM module; a larger DIMM module meant for a PC will not work.
