Upgrade memory - it void my warranty with Dell?

Hi all

I have a 2 year old desktop Dimension 5150 pc.

Currently, I run on 2 GB of RAM, but would switch to 3 GB or more.  I run a 32-bit OS XP, but don't know if he will take care of 3 GB of RAM?  Also, if I do not install additional capacity... He cancelled my warranty with Dell?  Or they offer a service where they perform updates on your behalf?

Sorry to sound so simple.

Thanks for your help.

Welshboi.

  • Upgrade memory to jeopardize the warranty?

    So I can improve memory up to 16 GB, without compromising the warranty?

    And also, is it a permit to install another OS instead of Windows, pre-installed on my laptop?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello:

    You does not cancel the guarantee of installation of memory unless you phyically break something in the process or do not follow the safety instructions before you open the laptop, like removing the battery and the power of a/c.

    HP provides no warranty for the memory that you buy. You would have to live with the warranty offered by the manufacturer of memory.

    You can install any operating system you want on the PC, but HP won't provide any software support for any operating system other than the one that came with the PC.

    I highly recommend you make a set of recovery disks before replacing the operating system.

  • Need for clarification in regards if you upgrade memory and HDD invalidates the warranty/support Dell

    Hello!

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 15 at the end of January. I told the sales guy cat exactly what I needed for and what my budget was. Well, based on his advice, I ended up raising my budget so I could have the best possible computer for my use.

    Now, normally, I don't buy a computer on mine, but the person I usually consult wasn't available, so I thought, Hey, the Dell guy cat must know what he's talking about.

    The computer he sold me a * disk drive (5200 rpm, I think). I told him that I wanted it for the recording software. After I bought it (buyer's remorse), several people told me that he should have sold me an SSD.

    Okay - Here's my thing: I can go buy a SSD and install it. But cancel my expensive service plan and a guarantee that I have? In addition, tech support plan? And regardless if it's a Dell hardrive and I can someone have set up here, or that I have to send the laptop back and have Dell to install one of their SSD to preserve the warranty and service plan?

    Thank you.

    With Dell, you are allowed to replace serviceable by the user on your computer without to as voiding the warranty.  Examples being the hard drives, memory, graphics cards, etc.  If ever you have a problem and need to send the unit for repair, you will need to replace your Dell parts provided those and Dell will only be guaranteed components provided by them.

    Also, you are more then welcome to install yourself, however if damage you something during the installation it will invalidate your guarantee that you caused the damage.

    Yes TLDR you can install anything you want.

    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)

    But are you sure you want to upgrade the memory of 512 MB?
    AFAIK all already shipped with 512 MB.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    According to the Manual, it has 2 slots:

    See Page 2, 3, 47, 48, to get the instructions before and during the replacement process. Even if it is a simple procedure if you do not have confidence in replacement, it gives to the HP service center, they will do it for you. Opening the door to service memory will not void the warranty - but if you daamage something in the replacement process, it will void the warranty.

    Please get the exact configuration and preference of the same brand (like this one in the slot) of RAM, mentioned in the manual.

    You can run this toolto know the details of the installed RAM sticks & moving forward with the purchase of od sizes appropriate sticks needed to make it to 8 GB in total.

  • Upgrade memory / warranty

    Hi all

    Just a quick one I hope; Upgrading the memory in my notebook will void my warranty?

    Thanks for your time.

    PP

    As a general rule, no. There are a few models like the Business nc6400 series with two slots; who is consumer-accessible and which is not. If you try to open the slot 'hidden' (usually under the keyboard), it could void the warranty. Most models have two locations for available memory under the laptop through a door and adding memory it will not affect the warranty. In your own interest, be sure and use only good memory from crucial, kingston or a provider major product purchased at retail.

  • 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:

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

  • Upgrade to ssd on t530 void my warranty?

    Hello Lenovo discussions.

    Not at all. Follow the instructions in the User Guide.

    By the way, you can replace/upgrade parts (RAM, HARD drive, battery, etc.) described in MU without affecting the warranty. The parties must be to provide that they have identical specifications or better than the parts supplied with your Lenovo ThinkPad.

    Of course all non-Lenovo parts is not covered by your warranty of the ThinkPad. If you are upgrading, say from HDD to DDD, this is a good idea to keep the old Lenovo autour in case you encounter some system problems in the future. This way you can put the original part of back in the system to determine if the cause of the problem is with the replaced part or elsewhere in the system.

  • Upgrade memory Dell Dimension 9150

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade memory RAM on my Dell Dimension 9150 Dual Core (DXP051) clocked at 2.8 GHZ with 1 GB of ram. Motherboard is Dell 0YC523. IGB memory currently.

    Watching the RAM is OCZ Enhanced latency Platinum XTC Edition revision 2 with speed 800 Mhz - CL4 (4-4-4-15) latency. 2 GB

    OCZ recommendation is to increase the volatge of ram to 2.1V on the BIOS but I don't think that this is possible on the Dell motherboard.

    Previousposts research, someone also asked a similar question but for an XPS 720 PC.

    The solution suggested something about SLI or EPP ready... I'm not sure what it means. This means that the RAM must be SLI or EPP ready to be compatible with the motherboard of Dimension I or the mothersboard must be ready for use of these modules of memory SLIp/PPE? Can I use this module and if so, how do I change the voltage or the motherboard will adjust it automatically?

    If not, can I get some other RAM?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Star Wars h.e. 15-an000nl: optical drive Swap with a ssd will void the warranty?

    Hi all

    I am a proud new owner of this machine, and since it comes with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM and I am also a happy owner of an SSD, I was wondering if the optical drive with the ssd Exchange void my warranty?

    I read a little the other q / a and I see that if I try to reach the drive, with all the screws and the cover plastic to raise, I'll probably end by unsecured (actually is not very clear if it's for sure or I'll use a ssd tested non hp...) and since then to remove the optical drive , I just remove a screw, buy an adapter and you're good to go...

    So my question is: what limits should I beyond the warranty for you? It's just the opening action itself, or there is more?

    And since I write here, optical drive sata port is a sata3 as (I hope) the hard disk it is? Would you recommend this operation?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance received...

    The optical drive is an authorized user of replacement so you can put an SSD in an optical caddy and will not void the warranty but I do not recommend: 1. the interface is slower; and 2. You cannot start it. Unfortunately, access to the internal hard drive space is verboten and may void the warranty. We can speculate and say if it's done well, nobody would know and likely HP won't guarantee, but we can get official word on this, so the smartest thing is to assume the worst. If you don't care the guarantee and want just your laptop to be quick, we are happy to help you with the understanding that you risk the warranty.
