Hi, could anyone please help me understand where the two RAM slots on my AN517-55-5354 are, or specifically, what they’re under? I can’t see anything on the surface level that looks like RAM.
 Thanks in advance, Matt

    Hi rand1956, good guess, thanks. The RAM slots were under the silver hood. Just had one screw to remove. FYI the second M.2 slot is where the large white number 2 is, with the screw that pins it in being in line with the bottom fan.

    Just a guess, but could second M.2 slot and RAM slots be under that silver hood that's just below the main M.2 drive? I have the same model and am contemplating a RAM (if I can find some) and SSD upgrade, plus a mechanical SATA drive for storage/backup. Sure would be nice to have a service manual, or even a rudimentary disassembly/upgrade guide.

    Good luck!
