Its on page 50 of the english manual.

I tried that and i cannot see a single button anywhere. All i see is a screw and a air hole. It's so weird. It doesnt look like it can be taken apart.

It is a vgc-v2s although it does look the same.

Want me to take a picture?

To get it out, you'd ideally want to get an "easy-out" It's designed to dig into the screw top... but not sure how damaged the screw is, so its hard to help.

That ram will technically work, but unmatached modules sometimes don't like each other.

Lets jut say i went overboard. It's quite badly damaged. I managed to not damage the other 1. Found a screw that worked perfectly but was too late. I heard that i could cut a straight line across for a minus shape. I dont have a saw though so got any ideas on what i can use.

What do you mean by unmatched modules? Would it damage my motherboard or kill the ram?
Also the ram came from an old computer that is also a sony vaio.

It won't blow up your computer, or anything, but it might crash alot. But it won't really damage it.

Yha you can slot it.. use a file... A metal finger nail file might work, or a hack saw blade.

Butterknife? I think that is all i have
