• HP Pavilion Slimeline 400-224: upgrade memory on Pavilion Slimline 400-224

  I want to upgrade the memory of my HP pavilion slimline 400-224.  After opening the case, how do I determine how many memory locations is available?  The current Council of the memory is SK Hynix 4 G 1Rx8 PC3L 12800 S-11-13 - B4.   It seems to be another location, just underneath and take-away.

  

  Can you tell me if this machine has one or two slots for memory...  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Here are thespecifications of your machine. It allows two modules of 8 GB.  You said 4 GB installed.  Which would jive with your Visual (only 1 modules installed). If it was mine, I would opt for a corresponding module of 4 GB and do with it.

  HP PartSurfer does not list the SK Hynix 4 G 1Rx8 PC3L 12800 S-11-13 - B4.  Another curious point, the specs list 6 GB installed. It would be a 4 GB and 2 GB modules.

• Satellite 1800-400 ME upgrade to XP Pro?

  All successful one satisfactory to a Satellite 1800 400 upgrade or similar (384 MB of RAM, 20 GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron) of Win ME?

  Would prefer to upgrade to XP Pro, but pure install 2nd choice.

  If I have the HD format for a clean install, an updated XP version would recognize the recovery CD Toshiba a legitimate copy of the ME - I've heard that there may be problems?

  I have the intention to upgrade the BIOS and collect all the drivers available for this model proposed by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with all the material?

  Toshiba drivers must be loaded in a special order, and that is during or after installing XP?

  XP is likely to be faster or more slow/about the same thing as ME, with above hardware specifications?

  All advice welcome, because I have not upgraded the OS on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem more important than with desktop computers.

  Hello

  I put t not see why Windows XP Home edition should not be working on your device correctly. On this forum I have read many topics where users present on Windows XP Home edition on the old models as yours.

  Please see the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and you will find drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

  After installing WXP install display and sound driver first. Then install other drivers of material. The next step is installation of Toshiba stuff:
  Common modules
  Controls
  Energy-saving
  Public services.

  It is important to install common modules like the first.

• ThinkPad R61i CPU Upgrade

  Thinking about upgrading the processor on my ThinkPad R61i.

  It is dated date 08/02 R61i 7650-D6G (15.4 ", without IEEE).

  A currently a T5450 @ 1.66 Ghz and GM965/GL960 chipset.

  As the T5450 has a 667 MHz front bus and is 65nm litho - do I have to stick with Merom chips (and not go for the Penryn)? (The GM965 should support an 800 MHz FSB - but do not know if the Council itself would be).

  Am I limited to the series T5xxx (i.e. 2 MB Cache), or could I go for a T7xxx? (even those that were made after the date of the laptop?).

  Also - is the BIOS not official (I forgot what it's called now - Middleton?) upgrade (?) a good thing to do?

  Help and above all experience, much appreicated - thanks guys!

  Welcome to the forum!

  Middleton BIOS is a must on any * system 61 in my view.

  As for the CPU, you can certainly opt for a processor Merom (T7300, 7500, 7700, 7800). According to the review board, you might or might not be able to use a processor Penryn (T8100/8300/9300/9500).

  The biggest upgrade will be a decent SSD and 4 GB of RAM, though, even if you choose to go with one of the processors less powerful but very cheap as T7300/7500.

  Happy update.

• ThinkPad Yoga 14 upgrade to SSD

  Hello

  I just bought the Thinkpad Yoga 14 with i5/8 GB DDR3/1 TB Hybrid drive

  I also bought a processor Intel 240 GB SDD upgrade to.

  I tried to clone the disk SSD, but it gives just a blank screen or select jumps back to the boot of the screen when start to boot.

  I also tried to boot from a USB stick with Windows 8 on it, then install it on the SSD, but the same thing happens when you try to boot from USB (white screen or jumps back to the boot selection screen.

  I tried to turn off Secure Boot, boot legacy mode, boot order, Windows load mode turn off/on... nothing works.

  Technical hotline of Lenovo does not support upgrades.

  Please, any help would be great.

  Hello, I did the SSD upgrade last night and everything works so much better! I'm still not sure about the ram if its extensible or not.

  Here are the steps I took to swap the drive hybrid SSD HARD drive:

  (1) bought SanDisk Ultra II 480 GB Solid State Drive - $139.00

  (2) purchased Insignia 3.0 Portable Hard Disk Drive Enclosure - $29.00

  The case comes with the cable, you must clone the disks and then you can use your old HDD as a disk after having done an image backup and system if you want to, otherwise you have to buy the enclosure but will cable. I found the cost of the cable start around $10 and go on a $29, so I just went with the box. You can find quite different price elsewhere, that's just what I found locally.

  (3) make a backup of your entire system to an external drive, a system image backup and image of the system CD drive just in case.

  (4) download cloning software. I went with the free Sandisk recommended software - EZ GIG IV

  (5) Connect and clone old HDD to your Instructions SDD news will be with your new drive or the software.

  (6) once the clone is complete, unplug your internal battery in the BIOS. Instructions for this can be found in thinkpad manual.

  7) turn the power off and remove the laptop cover. Instructions for this are also in the thinkpad manual.

  (8) remove the old HARD drive. Thinkpad manual instructions

  (9) install the new SSD. Follow the instructions in the manual of Thinkpad and Instructions supplied with SSD

  (10) closing the case back up, put the screws back in and power on.

  He had a black screen for a while when I turned it on and while I studied what had not worked, that I thought it was normal and literally as I was reading all came and was immediately noticeable how fast he was. I ran the Bios Update tool on the lenovo support area but I didn't have to change anything in the bios and everything works great. I did not remove the 16 GB card as Ive read that some people have. I'm still not sure if this makes a difference or not. The event viewer shows no defects, and it shows as active / online and running.

  I'm always interested to find if I can pass the ram from 8 to 16 GB. If anyone knows...

  Also, I've upgraded to Windows 10 the day I bought the machine, so I don't know if that has nothing to do with the swap go smoother.

• ThinkPad X 230 Upgrade RAM help

  Hey Hi,

  I plan to upgrade my Thinkpad X230s memory up to 8 GB. I have a few questions, it would be a great help if anyone can help me.

  (1) is it better to use the configuration 2x4gb or 1x8GB? What are the benefits? (Configuration of Thinkpad X 230 support dual channel does?)

  (2) CPU - Z shows my current RAM is running at 1.5 V. I put two 4 GB RAM running at 1.35v? (Thinkpad X 230 supports type DDR3L memory?)

  (3) what happens if I use two RAM with different CASES of latency?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, neerajmishra

  1. with two modules are installed, 2 x 4 GB, for example, CPU works in mode dual channel. This means better performance

  2. officially, according to the x 230 specifications, laptop supports 1.5 volt type memory. Supported CPU in the x 230, 1.35 and 1.5 v. module types X 230 actually works with two types of memory. In addition, it is able to work with 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) installed. Main desired - do not mix different types memory, use the modules of 1.5 or 1.35 for the moment.

  3 requirement is the same as above - do not mix different memory types

• How to re - install the software OS and Thinkpad after hardware upgrade?

  I'm about to buy a SSD for my X 220.

  My recovery partition is on my current hard drive, so instead of the backup and restore of the entire hard drive, (I make a smaller hard drive) I want to restore the system from the recovery partition (new installation).

  How can I do? It works if I turn the internal hard drive externally using the attachment? But I think that it will not boot from that disk hard if I do that, then I don't know how to recover my OS X 220.

  Thank you.

  1. what, to buy a license? Do you have the ms COA sticker in the battery compartment?

  2. prepare the recovery media factory applet suitable the disk with Lenovo system preloaded. It could be the flash drive, 16 GB in size.

  3. it is possible to deploy two image .wim of partitions, one by one, Lenovo_Recovery on the drive target and its System_DRV and system parttions. But it also will some actions to set the parameters of the partitions.
  In a Word, there are several scenarios. Take a look this post, for example:

• ThinkPad R 51 Upgradation - RAM and HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have an IBM ThinkPad R51 (2887) and I wanted to improve it with 1 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive.

  But I have some doubts and need advice of experts here.

  (1) can I install RAM 1 GB PC2-5300 CL5 NP DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM instead of required 1 GB PC2700 CL2.5 NP DDR SDRAM SODIMM.

  Also enlighten me with pros & cons.

  (2) what HARD drive I should opt for a Lenovo or Western Digital brand.

  See you soon,.

  Animesh

  Welcome to the forum!

  You cannot install the PC5300 RAM in your machine, it should not physically, and if you try to force it to you will destroy the motherboard.

  Lenovo does not have its own hard drives, but tests and labels drives from other manufacturers (Seagate, Hitachi, Fujitsu,...). Any drive 9.5 mm PATA will work properly in your R51.

  I hope this helps.

• Is worth upgrading to Macbook Pro?

  So I just bought a Macbook air 13 "and I was wondering if upgrading the Retina Macbook pro screen be worth? I like the Air, but the lower the screen resolution is a disadvantage compared to the Retina display. I have to throw down on another $ 400 to upgrade so is it useful? I have a week to return my Air.

  Of course, you think it is, then, what is the problem? You want to decide us for you? We won't. You must make your own decisions. Try looking at the models in the store.

  Your laptop was never to be a gamer. It has the Intel HD 3000 graphics that are not discrete. It's UMA which means short graphic rendering in system memory. Discreet, it is what you want and this means that the video card has its own separate memory. That's the best advice that would not force allows you to replace the processor:

  Now, the bad news:

  1. this Commission is stupid cheap:

  http://h20141.www2.HP.com/hpparts/Search_Results.aspx?mscssid=CC60762C26674F61A20C2B270D4FAE57&SearchIn=PartNumber&SearchPN=650800-001

  $252... the price of the Exchange is only if you have a defective Board of the same kind to send.

  2. I could be off base here, but I think if you are unsure what discrete memory is then trying to replace a motherboard for laptop is probably something you have done hire and figure another $150 it.

  3. even the jury of 'best' is always a sort of thing of lower midrange and you are not happy with it after spending $ 400 to upgrade.

  Your best thing to do is to sell your laptop and buy a new one.
