Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

Hey,.

If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

See also this article from Toshiba:
[Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

    You already have the best processor that can fit on your motherboard which is an AMD version. Theoretically, you can go with a card mother Intel and processor, but that would cost a lot of money (more than a new laptop) and give only slightly better graphics. not yet for the games. To be explicit, the graphics 'card' are not a card, but a single chip directly soldered on the motherboard and cannot be removed, replaced, improved or anything of the sort.

    The slightly good news is that you can install up to 8 GB of memory... is the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM. That will boost the overall performance, but still not make a game by a long shot machine.

  • P7 - 1010t cto Pavilion: upgrade of processor and RAM memory

    I wonder if the upgrade to a faster processor and the RAM imcreassed will provide significant performance and practice

    Yes, but you must consider a few things first.

    RAM, if you currently have one slot of occupied RAM then add more RAM to fill all the slots does two things for you, it increase the bandwidth to access RAM and what is obvious, give you more memeory for your applications and reduce disk swapping.  Increase the bandwidth for RAM access ceratinly will provide a performance gain just by itself.

    Upgrade the processor is debatable and depends largely on what you use your PC for.  If you simply run email and web browsing then probably an upgrade is useless, but if you run several CPU intensive tasks then a processor upgrade help. Processor intel celeron and pentium are core, i3 range are dual core and the i5 and i7 are four hearts.  Simply the best kernels if you run intensive taks and i5 and i7 processors support the turbo boost, which means carrots redundant can kick in to increase the speed of these processors according to demand.  Hyper-threading (with several processes running in parallel) is also supported by the i7 (maybe some processors i5 as well).

  • HP laptop - 15-r150sa (ENERG: I want to upgrade the processor and the RAM of my laptop HP)

    I have a requirement for a high quality laptop computer.  I want to at least 16 GB of RAM and Intel i7 processor. Can I improve/replace the newly purchased on my laptop i5 to i7 processor and 6 GB to 16 GB RAM?

    Emergency response please.

    The processor is part of the motherboard. To get a faster processor, it requires the replacement of the whole motherboard.

    Processor Intel Core i7-5500U and 2 GB cards separate graphics 795814-501

    Above is the part number. This part is new and rare and can only be in HP. At this moment, they are not available. I did a complete search on the internet and it does not appear in one of the parts houses so likely you will have to wait a few months for the part joining the supply chain. When it doesn't the price will shock you. As at least $300US, maybe more.

    The RAM is available anywhere. Like this:

    http://www.eBay.co.UK/ITM/2x-8gb-16GB-DDR3L-1600-MHz-RAM-memory-HP-mobile-Workstat-Zbook-17-PC3L-12800S-/191493216820?PT=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c95e29a34

    Upgrade memory requires the removal of the motherboard so it would be foolish to do until you are ready to do all the work.

    May I ask why if you need a super-powerful laptop just purchased a kind of average lower of the spectrum? It's always much more expensive try to upgrade a cheap laptop computer than to just buy a high-end establishment at first. It would probably be you will have to return or to sell your laptop and buy a new one with the features you need.

  • Satellite A500 - on the screen and the volume of media keys control the normal behavior

    Hello

    On my laptop Satellite A500, I have no screen 'volume bar' when I use the media keys of volume (located between the speakers). I find this odd, like many other phones that I use (including the Toshiba) have this feature. In addition, the volume bar between the - and + media symbols of the keys never lights upward.
    Could someone please confirm that those are normal behaviour? (Note that my Fn keys, utility eco work and so on).

    Records,

    Aramys salvation,
    I don't know if this is normal (showing no volume bar on screen)

  • Upgrade the HDD and RAM

    Hello

    I have a HP dv7-3085dx (product no: VM188UA #ABA) and I need to upgrade my hard drive to an SSD & increase my RAM. currenlty I have 500 GB hdd & 6144 MB ram DDR3.

    1. Please let me know if Serial ATA III SSD (Samsung - 840 EVO 250 GB Internal Serial ATA III Solid State Drive) is compatible with my motherboard. And is it possible to use this (primary) SSD as well as my old HDD (secondary).

    2. do I need to buy additional cables for this upgrade?

    3. What is the rate of transfer of my RAM? If I could buy a compatible RAM.

    Your specific motherboard has the chipset Intel 5 series which is only capable of SATA-II. However, the Evo of 840 Samsung SATA-III will work fine and you will always see at an astonishing speed. You have chosen a good SSD (the same that I use, so I'm a little prejudiced).

    With regard to memory, this is the crucial.com on your model page showing it will take up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) SO-DIMM DDR3-1333.

    And Yes, you can use 2 hard drives in any dv7. It will take a second drive caddy and cable available here:

    Hello DavidShortt

    As a general rule, you can upgrade or replace all the hardware components on your computer and maintain the license for the operating system Microsoft OEM original software, with the exception of an upgrade or replacement of the motherboard. An upgrade of the motherboard is supposed to lead to a "new personal computer. Software operating system Microsoft OEM cannot be transferred from one computer to the other. Therefore, if the motherboard is updated or replaced for other reasons that a defect was created to a new computer, the original license expires, and we need a new full operating system license (and not an upgrade). This is true even if the computer is covered by Software Assurance or other Volume Licensing programs.
