i got a few questions
do you need a pry tool to open up the laptop?
should you disconnect the battery first then put in the ram?
how do you check if the ram works in BIOS?

Do you know what the best correct wifi card off Amazon would be. I have done the other 2 upgrades, ram and SSD.

[@rickstechrepairs]

not sure
but I like the intel wifi 6 card ax201

My Laptop unfortunately overheats from the Ram Upgrade. I used an extra 8 Gb Ram with the same parameters as the original one. Do you have any Idea how to fix that

[@rickstechrepairs]

i think it was more your laptop can actually 100% use its cpu with ram in dual channel

[@adrianv1160]

right way up for me, wrong way for you guys😂 I see what you did there

[@rickstechrepairs]

Hi, do you think my laptop Lenovo Flex 5 14 inches, AMD Ryzen 5 4500U convertible can be modified ?
It has just 8 GB of fixed RAM, can I extend it with 8 GB additionally ?

[@rickstechrepairs]

Pretty sure the flex 5 has soldered ram and isn't changeable
