HP Elitebook 6930p. Huh !!!!

Desingn constructor is the largest manufacturer idiot. Put one memory slot inside, located under the keyboard denotes an unparalleled stupidity.

Thanks for your splendid guide. I don’t have a plastic pry tool. A bass guitar plectrum works just as well though. The whole job took under 10 mins to complete. I now have X2, 2GB memory cards installed. This is plenty to run Manjaro JWM 16,04.1. It boots up only using 180 MB of RAM - perfect.
