Impossible to add RAM, Pavilion low g4-1117dx two cover screws of the Panel unscrew a point then pop.

The lower panel of my HP Pavilion 1117dx g4 has two screws to unscrew to a point and then pop.  I was hoping to add another KGB of RAM.  They seem to be most endangered and yet they turn freely, there is a little tension, and they jump as you turn them.  It seems that a few more rounds and they would be out.   Initially, I assumed that they were not out but the coverage does not seem to get out.   I guess you need to release some tabs with a flat edge, but I've had success now.  If anyone has a g4-1117dx can you check to see if these screws come out or are they supposed to stay in cover and apparently I need to apply more pressure to remove the cover.  Thank you...

After the screws are loose, you will have to apply pressure to the nearest edge of the back of the laptop to free the clichés about the rest of the edges.

  • Add ram touchsmart 10 10-e010nr for laptop / PC

    How can I make my TOUCHSMART from HP Pavilion 10 10-e010nr computer run faster. I have 2 GB of ram, 320 GB hard drive. I can addmore ram.

    Hi @germfree,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand you're wondering if you can add ram to your computer laptop 10-e010nr of HP Pavilion TOUCHSMART from 10. I am pleased to see that for you!

    I recommend you to go through this guide, the computer is slow (10 of Windows). To check the amount of memory currently installed and determines the amount of memory can be added, while your computer is turned on, follow one of the sets of steps below:

    In Windows 10:

    1. In Windows, find and open HP Support Assistant.

    2. HP Support Assistant, under Learn click on product information.

      Figure: Support Assistant

    3. See the section of system memory specifications for details on memory that is currently installed.

      Figure: The system memory information

    4. To find the total amount of memory that can be added, subtract the amount of memory currently in the computer of the maximum amount of memory that the computer can hold. To see the maximum memory the computer can take, see the finding information on memory for your computer model.

    5. For the amount of memory per slot, divide the maximum amount of memory that the computer can hold by the number of memory locations of the motherboard. Usually, this is the maximum amount for each type of memory. For example, if the computer is able to contain a maximum of 4096 MB (4 GB) memory and the motherboard has four memory slots, install 1 GB (or less) per slot.

    Source: upgrade (RAM RAM).

    Also, you can take a look at this guide, Guide to Service and Maintenance.

  • Help! Can you help me solve a slow computer? Add RAM?

    I know I asked something about this before, but it has not resolved. Let me give some details of my PC a few months ago I put in my profile on this site:

    MotionLE1600tablet, Windows XP has been installed own Sept 2010, Office 2003, IE 8, update drivers & programs, Security Essentials, SyncBack SE sync my Docs with my DELL 915 - desktop PC, on my shelf programs include: Seagate Mgr BU, cCleaner, Defraggler, AdvdX Video Converter, routed Brother 7820 w / Paperport & 2700 color laser printer, the active Agent for Outlook, MS ActiveSync, Format Factory Bluetooth, REVO Uninstaller, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Acrobat, Acronis True Image home, Advanced X Video Convert,
    From AoA Audio, ISO, Time Warner cable high speed internet, MalwareBytes AM

    So my question: this Tablet PC seems to sometimes just stop responding while using IE and trying to enter text or something else. When that happens, I can't even start with a Ctrl-Alt-Del Task Manager. It seems to ignore this and cannot do anything. I can't click on start or anything like that. So, I just finally quit and force a reboot in now the switch for a few seconds.

    Other signs of a problem are that sometimes this PC will take up VERY much time to start, but sometimes it starts very well.

    I tried to note or to explore if there could be some activity going on in the background that uses up all of the RAM (or anything... I don't know that a lot of this stuff) and I don't think that's the problem. But I'm ready to explore that if anyone could tell me how the Explorer!

    I have a few processes requiring low RAM they are running in the background for backup and changes to my Docs and they are saved on my hard drive MAXTOR One Touch USB. I also have a program called SyncBack SE that synchronizes the my Docs about this Tablet PC with those on my Dell 9150 desktop PC. All this is at home, and my tablet is never off the hook or taken anywhere. I probably just another desktop PC, since this is how it is used. I have always just sitting it here on its charging base with an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, Iomega CD/DVD-RW and MAXTOR backup hard drive hooked up to it. And it is connected to my range of colour laser printers and also my all-in-one scanner/printer/fax/copier running Paperport for scanning.

    In addition, I have add the maximum RAM in this PC recently to try to help him with this problem, but it did not disappear. He of course helped it work better. I had max RAM to www.memoryx.net/mocolectapcm.html and if you look at this page, you will see that I now have 1.5 GB which was not recognized automatically, as I thought it would be, so someone on this site taught me to solve this problem.

    So, my thought was that there is an intermittent failure was. But of course, I don't have any extra of $ just to send my tablet PC manufacturer that I bought NEW a few years ago. Mine is a LE1600 and now they show their new LE1700 to http://www.motioncomputing.com/support/support_le1700.asp. I had a serious accident a few years ago on someone's motorcycle MX and became disabled for life, and the franchise of real estate brokerage of Exit Realty I had built just after buying a franchise had to be closed. That put me off all hope for an income and he gave me $0 back on the $300,000 + that I had spent my mortgage to help put in place. And all this after I study my butt off and passed the test to win my own our Department of California real estate broker's license...         BOO HOO

    Hi Jeff has Davis,

    Method 1

    Check if the problem persists in mode safe mode with networking mode and also check the event log for errors related to the issuance and publication.

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in mode safe mode with networking mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • I want to improve memory on iMac 27 in. 3.3 GHz, 5K retina. He now has two 4G of Ram. I want to add two 8 G of ram. Should I remove two 4 G, or simply add 8G in two empty slots? Going to have a mixed match (2 of 4 and 8 s 2) in trouble?

    I want to improve memory on iMac 27 in. 3.3 GHz, 5K retina. There are now two 4 G of Ram. I want to add two 8 G of ram. Should I remove two 4 G, or simply add 8G in two empty slots? There are 4 slots for RAM.  Going to have a mixed match (two 4 and two 8) in trouble? Or will it improve my speed giving me 24G of RAM?

    It will be fine as long as they are installed in pairs (and, as long as your model can handle 8 GB modules). Just install them in the empty slots. Working with word documents or online will be not much faster - you will notice the difference in speed apps to respond, with graphic design and video editing, etc or game play. The new OS versions like more RAM, so you can not go wrong there.

    FYI, you do not run iOS on an iMac - Please edit your profile to show what OS version you are using. It helps the helpers.

  • Upgrade RAM Pavilion p6-2030

    Hello Forums,

    I think to upgrade my Ram on my current computer Pavilion P6-2030.

    I think with the purchase of the fury of Kingston HyperX 4 GB 1333 MHz DDr3 CL9 Dimm. (HX313C9FB/4). This will be compatible with the RAM that is already installed and it will work.

    Thank you

    You are welcome.

    Yes, that is recommended by Crucial memory should work in your motherboard.  Buy a pair will give you much better performance that I said.  If it was me, I contact their Technical Support and ask them to recommend you the best memory of what you want to do.  These guys are the experts on their memory.  I contact Technical Support for most of the components that I buy.  The components change so quickly OEMs like HP can't stay with her.  As a result, many of the newer components sold won't work even in a two year old computer.

  • HP Pavilion p6240f: upgrade RAM, Pavilion p6240f works not

    Greetings HP community.

    Today, I'm working on a HP Pavilion p6240f. I am trying to install (2) 8 GB DDR3 1600 chips.  When I turn on the computer I hear 1 short beep and 1 long beep, which results in an error of memory.  Bought the wrong RAM?  Can I make it work?  I checked the BIOS and it seems that I have the version 5.11 of 29/09/2009 and no other version is available on the product Web page.

    Please help, thanks

    A

    Hello

    The motherboard in the p6240f is only spec'd to use 2 GB DIMM modules.

    Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston and Crucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.
