Is it possible to upgrade a Thinkpad?

Hi all

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad E430 62718GV four months in Taiwan. The laptop is built with the classic 14 "display LED (1366 x 768 at 60 Hz) and it has a 720 GB HARD SATA 5400 RPM drive. My laptop is under warranty until 2015.

I would like to install an SSD in my laptop and install the FHD 1080 p screen. Lenovo sell parts and make the upgradation with a cost? Will be my laptop warranty void if improving is made?

I will highly appreciate if you let me know about these facts.

Thanks in advance.

Download the User Guide in the support section for your model.  It will show you the FRU for your computer.  Guarantees can be a little difficult.  FRU that were part of the options for your model must be correct if bought at Lenovo.  Third party as largest SSD upgrades could be a problem in case of failure of some components.  As far as I KNOW, the display is replaceable with the same version.

FYI - I installed the Lenovo 16 GB SSD and ExpressCache software, and I'm pretty happy with improving boot times.

  • Is satellite Pro M70-235 - possible to upgrade the processor?

    Hello

    Is it possible to upgrade of processor in this laptop (Pentium M 750-1866 MHz) Pentium M 780 2266 MHz?

    Thank you..

    Hello

    Theoretically, it of possible to exchange the processor on your laptop, but nobody will be able to tell if the laptop works fine with the new processor or not.

    You mustn't forget that the BIOS and motherboard is designed for the preinstalled CPU and it s not tested with another processor. Normally a newer or faster CPU produces more heat and I don t know if the Assembly of cooling on your laptop is sufficient for this.

    If you still have the warranty of your laptop you will lose because Toshiba doesn't support the CPU upgrade:

  • Portege A100 - possible to upgrade processor?

    Is Hey, also possible to upgrade the current 1.4 ghz processor to a much larger processor, such as a 3 ghz processor? If Yes can - that someone recommend where I could buy a chip... and I need a toshiba technician to fit?

    Daniel

    Hello

    Portege A100 is a tiny unit and the increase in the temperature and the cooling of the processor is very difficult on this laptop.
    The biggest CPU will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.

    I put t think it's possible to upgrade the processor to 3 GHz.
    In any case, in most cases it of not possible to upgrade the processor and not advised to do on laptops.
    Maybe you'll be able to install a stronger CPU 1.4 Ghz, but you're not sure that the OS will be stable after upgrade

    PS: You will lose the warranty if you open the Notepad or remove all the parts inside the laptop

  • Is satellite C660D - possible to upgrade the processor?

    Is it possible to upgrade the C660D processor E-240 to an E-350.

    1. the BIOS will accept the change?

    3. expected problems?

    Hey,.

    Theoretically, it is possible to swap the CPU, but an upgrade is not supported by Toshiba. This means that you lose the warranty and no one can say if other types of CPU are supported or not because there is no list with other processors.

    Can also make sure that the current fan and cooling module is good enough for better CPU?

  • Is it possible to upgrade the processor in a Satellite M40 - 101?

    I have 479 pin provided Pentiuma® M 730 1.6 Ghz processor. It is insufficient for some tasks more. So I would like to upgrade CPU, but is it possible?

    Hello

    Theoretically, it is possible to upgrade the CPU but practically it is not easy to do.
    The M40 comes with different CPU's.
    As far as I know, these processors has been used and are compatible:
    -Processor Intel Dothan (533 MHz)
    730 1.6 GHz
    740 1.73 GHz
    750 1.86 GHz
    760 2.0 GHz
    770 2.13 GHz

    It seems that notebook was shipped with the first.
    But believe me; No one can tell if the laptop can run successfully after the CPU upgrade.
    As you probably know the faster and more powerful processor produces more heat and this could lead to overheating of the laptop.
    In my view, this is a serious problem and you should be careful

    By the way: Please check this thread. The risk of upgrading have been described very detailed:

    I want to be able to play FIFA14 apparently she drags on the current processor.

    My ram is 6 GB and I think that's enough.

    Usually these updates is not supported by any laptop manufacturer.

    But I read in some discussions that to some were able to upgrade the Intel processors in laptops own. But your laptop (which model of phone is it exactly?) seems to be equipped with an AMD processor and I guess that the chipset is AMD too.
    In this case only the AMD CPUS would be compatible with the AMD chipset.

    However, even if the AMD chipset would be favorable to another CPU, I guess you would have problems with BIOS. In many cases, the compatibility of the BIOS might be the main reason why a CPU upgrade would not work.

    Hi all

    my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

    Thank you

    Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
    According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
    You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

    I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.
