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.

  • 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.

    Hello

    I don t think you would lose the guarantee after upgrade memory.

    The slot of memory must be placed at the bottom of the unit and it s fixed with one screw only.
    You must remove the plastic cover to get access to the RAM slots.

    I think that details and pictures about the upgrade of memory must be placed in the manual pre-installed you.

    My user manual contains this statement to upgrade which is very useful.

    So Don worry about you guarantee the validity. If you use the recommended Toshiba and modules compatible RAM then you guarantee will not be cancelled ;)

  • Upgrade memory on an all in a single LX830

    I may upgrade the 4 GB provided to meet the requirements of the program. Additional memory needs to be installed in pairs? The existing 4 GB occupies a dwelling, can I mount 8 GB in another location or it will be incompatible?

    Well, mainly upgrade memory depends on the support of the chipset/CPU.

    Not quite sure what computer Toshiba LX830 do you have exactly but as far as I know the L830 all in one units would support up to 16 GB of RAM.

    A property used by a 4 GB RAM module and housing is free.
    This is why it must be able to use another additional module of 8 GB RAM.

    But of course, another module of 8 GB RAM should be compatible with the current 4 GB of RAM.
    Otherwise, you will get some compatibility issues

  • Satellite L350 - upgrade memory 107

    Please can someone help provide a certain insight or details on the options of upgrade memory for a Satellite L350 - 107 laptop

    According to the Toshiba records, this unit can only be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB of RAM - there are web sites that warn that this device can take a maximum of 4 GB of RAM... This unit can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM and if so, how do you? I installed 4 GB of RAM in the unit and the BIOS recognizes the RAM during POST. Windows starts to load and then crashes...

    The unit is a Satellite L350 - 107, model number PSLD0E - 00500TF3

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    In General, upgrading memory depends on the chipset that is placed on the motherboard.
    The Satellite L350 107 has been provided with the Chipset Mobile Intel GL960 Express and this chipset manages max 2 GB RAM
    This means that you can upgrade the RAM to 2 GB RAM max using PC2-5300 memory Modules.

    Hope this info might help you.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - will be lost the warranty if I upgrade the RAM?

    Hey guys,.

    I wanted to know if I purchase and install my own module SO-DIMM RAM in my laptop, it will void my warranty?
    If so, how can I spend my memory?

    I agree with Akuma.
    You will not void the warranty if you upgrade the RAM.
    I've also updated my RAM and I t has not had any problems with my warranty.

    Moreover, the best RAM for upgrade is the RAM even if you as before. I mean the manufacturing and specification. So you can ensure that the new RAM will work.

    Hello

    After a lot of dilemma, I buy THISlaptop.

    In addition, no one knows how much total RAM this computer supports? How many slots is there?

    The page of the product didn't.

I entered the serial number of my laptop current (and also a probook), but I think that the agent did not read my email properly. Instead of answering my question, he sent me a link to extend the warranty on my laptop today.

    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.

    The warranty will be void if I upgrade the RAM on the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3-581? I read that one of the slots of RAM is expandable to 8 GB. Also some of the models M3 have SSDS, according to my specifications mine is not, is it possible to put my own in?

    Thank you.

    Nice day

    1. regarding upgrading to SSD and memory size max, please send me the part number of your machine or your serial number and I will advise you with accurate information.

    2. with regard to upgrading the ram, you can do it, BUT if damage you no matter which component while improving the security, then the warranty is voided. Also note that if you upgrade the ram, Acer will only cover its own warranty parts. If the ram you add becomes faulty, you will need to return the ram to the person / reseller you buy.

  • 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.
