Problem adding RAM on HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b129wm Sleekbook

OK, so I have a 4 GB stick in there from when I bought the laptop, but I thought to add more so I got some crucial. Unfortunately for me, it is not a 'door' bit convenient for me to open to access the RAM, so I have to take everything... from ahead. For the first time I put in RAM, I kinda had to put a force on the subject, you know (first time ever put RAM in a laptop), but the metal little clamps on the sides don't click so I just opened the pliers, put it in there then their closed. I said "well I hope that it works" and good thing the computer turned on and everything but when I went to the system (I have Windows 8) they say I have only 4 GB installed. I took it apart again (pain in the ass, you mind) and went out of the RAM and once more tried with the clamps snapping, of course, has not. So I decided to do the same thing and who knows what happened? THE SAME THING. OK now I'm checking the BIOS as well and he also says 4 GB so now I'm here. Please help me: c

The memory stick of low power AMD A6 accelerated processor - 4455M is of type DDR3 'L '.

There are two slots, so you can put an another 4Gigs with the same configuration you have (e.g., ditto config), same brand would be ideal.
Download, run this tool to know the details of RAM already present: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Go through the Page 49, 50 in the manual of replacement procedure-
You have to get out of the motherboard to upgrade RAM it seems.
Better communicate with HP or guy local tech since you are doing it for the first time. I do not my own, if I'm a beginner in the present.

    Hello

    It's on my computer laptop bluetooth. Given that I've upgraded to Windows 10 bluetooth driver is not detected by Device Manager and it seems that Mediatek has not updated their software Ralink for Windows (at least for my PC) 10. Windows 10 settings page shows no turning bluetooth power options. I have tried to reset my pc but lost all my apps and also hp Recovery Manager has been lost. I also downloaded Qualcomm-Atheros bluetooth drivers (since I wasn't sure of the hardware version of my PC). Always bluetooth does not work. The idea of reset was given by a representative of hp service in the online chat system. I would be grateful if someone comes up with a good fix tested since I need blutooth to use my bluetooth headset.

    Hello:

    I see your screenshot that your laptop has a wireless Atheros 9485 card.

    This card is a single band with no radio bluetooth wireless card.

    Here is the link to the product for your laptop.  He also confirmed that your laptop does not come with built-in bluetooth, or this feature should have been included as well as wireless WLAN 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 specifications.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-15-Sleekbook/5330569/model/5378819/document/c0373048...

    1. is it possible with regard to the specification of the material?

    2 change the 16 GB ram will make a noticeable difference?

    Best regards

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    P. 4: supports up to 8 GB of RAM in the following configurations: ● 8192 MB total memory (4096 MB × 2) (no support for 32-bit operating systems)

    So the answer to both your questions is 'no '. However, if you still have the original 6 GB, you will see significant improvement, upgraded to 8 because you will not only get a discount of 25% of the memory, but you will run in mode dual channel which is maybe 10% faster. It's the REF HP for the 4 GB module:

    4 GB 641369-005

    Memory got inexpensive, so it is logical to buy just 2 new modules for you ensure that they are identical and will be run in dual channel:

  • HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100: "Press the ESC key" black screen TouchSmart 15-b100sa

    Hello

    I'm helping a friend with his computer because his son decided to play with it and now it is unclear what steps it took to create this problem.

    Initially, he asks a password on a black screen before opening the BIOS screen.

    Someone in this forum helped me with this problem and told me to try a code which worked perfectly.

    After that, I get a black screen that repeated me "press ESC for Boot Menu".

    If I press this button, a message appears saying "ESC...". Starting break"and stays there for about 2 minutes, which I think it's a lot of time to open the start menu to enter the BIOS and change the settings.

    Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?

    The computer is a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b100sa Sleekbook

    I would appreciate if someone could help with this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi @jc4 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion TouchSmart Sleekbook 15-b100 and issues with maybe an update. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8, if you need it.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion TouchSmart 15-b109wm: Mini pcie

    Im trying to find out if this computer has a witelist for my network card. Initially, it came with windows 8 installed on it now I am running windows 10. I looked at and see older laptops with whitelist, built into the bios. My computer seems to boot UEFI bios, as it is the only way to get into the bios, I know. My current card is AR9485 of Qualcomm Atheros 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter it just don't cut the highest speed I get are on 55mbps. I have other pieces of equipment using 802.11 AC and speeds are more than 160 Mbit/s. The HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 - b109wm Sleekbook there a whitelist and if so what is the best or the simplest work around? I looked at the manual and it shows 3 different maps, but none of them are compatible 5 GHz I believe that when this laptop was built not as popular 5Ghzwas and 802.11 AC did not exist. Any input?  The HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 - b109wm Sleekbook there a whitelist and if so what is the best or the simplest work around?

    Hello:

    He shouldn't have a whitelist, as HP stop this practice more than 2 years ago.

    However, your mobile PC is an AMD processor and chipset, so you would be limited to use a double band Broadcom dual band N or map of the AC.

    9 times out of 10 an Intel wireless network card will not work in a notebook with AMD hardware, and there is no way I'd be able to tell you if an Intel card would work in your computer laptop or not.

  • HP Pavilion Touchsmart kept Sound disappears after installation and reinstalling the drivers

    I have a HP Pavilion Touchsmart 14-B132TX Sleekbook. My sound disappeared while I was using it a month ago. I called the HP Hotline and Technical Support told me just uninstall it from the Device Manager and when restarted, automatically installs the driver. What I did.

    The sound came back but still once he disappeared after about 15 minutes of use, so I called tech support again and they gave me links to HP support for drivers to download and install which I did and rebooted the computer and the sound came back again. BUT again, the noise has disappeared. I called tech support and they just do a system restore which I did and the sound came back again. But he disappeared again after all just 7 minutes of use.

    These are the drivers, I installed from the HP Web site: sp60642, sp64082, sp60464 and sp64031. After reinstalling the drivers. I cleaned my laptop with CCleaner and went to HP Support Assistant in the hope of getting a solution, there was a statement here to download the QUALCOMM Atheros driver and I installed again the driver said... The sound has come back after rebooting. AND again, he has disappeared after just using the laptop for about 3 minutes. (it gets worse!.) This laptop is quite new, he just bought 10 months ago. What is going on? Please help me. I use the Windows 8 operating system. PLEASE HELP ME.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Open windows control panel, open Windows Update, select "View update history" in the left pane and then select "Installed updates" link in the next window.

    Locate the KB2962407 update, right click and choose uninstall.  Once completed, restart the computer, open windows control panel, open Windows Update and select "Check for updates".  You will see the update that you have uninstalled just offered once again - right click and select "Hide update".

    After that you may or may not need to remove and reload the sound driver - if you do, how to use Recovery Manager to reinstall the drivers and software is detailed in the document at the link below.

  • I have a HP Officejet 6310 and want to install it on my new HP Pavilion Touchsmart Sleekbook 14.

    I have a HP Officejet 6310 and just bought a new HP Pavilion Touchsmart 14 - b109wm sleekbook.  How do we install the old printer on my new computer? The printer has a cable to the computer. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hi RSM288,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    To install your Officejet 6310 on your new Touchsmart PC, I highly recommend that you download and run the HP printer installation wizard. This tool will find and download the software for you on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. You can leave the USB cable plugged all the time and that makes things easier as well

    Let me know if that helps!

  • Upgrade of RAM HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-f021nr

    I am considering buying a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 14-f021nr, but I'm unable to find detailed information about its RAM.  All sources I've found say it comes with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, and the maximum value supported is 8 GB.  What is not clear if a second stick of 4 GB will seek up to 8 GB, or if there is only one slot that is initially taken by the supplied 4 GB, making a single 8 GB stick the only way to upgrade.  In short, is dual-channel a possibility?

    Also, if anyone knows the RAM timings provided RAM, that would be wonderful as well.

    Hello

    Your laptop has 2 slots, each of which can contain a maximum of 4 GB module for a total of 8 GB - an example of an upgrade appropriate can be seen on the following link.
