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:

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:

My name is Alexander and I am from Brazil, and I have questions!
Fist of all: I can't update my BIOS of the laptop, and I would like a help of you to do.
Second of all: my laptop came with 2 GB and I bought 2 GB, but when I put 4GB, it did not work, only works when I put 2 + 1 GB...
What's wrong?
It's my mobile phone numbers:
HP Pavilion dv9100 CTO Notebook PC
Serial number: [text removed for privacy]
Product number: EZ345AVThank you very much and sorry for my English!
At latest!
Hello:
Please see the link to the service manual for your laptop. Page 1-2 shows a maximum of only 2 GB of memory is supported.
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01311536.PDF
If your laptop has an Intel processor, there is no update of the BIOS. The update of the BIOS listed is only for laptops with AMD processors.

I have the 13-inch Retina Display early 2015 model. It contains 128 GB SSD and 8 GB of RAM.
I wanted to update both of them. Is this possible? I agree with HARD drive even if that is supported. 128 GB is not enough for me actually.
Help, please.
Without the SSD and RAM are both not upgradable.
One option is to sell your computer and use the money to buy a new one with the features you need.
There are two options to add an HD card to your card HD slot. Both options will be flush with the case.

How can I upgrade my PROCESSOR and RAM
Hello, I use a HP Compaq Presario CQ43. There with APU AMD E-450 with Radeon HD graphics card and 2.0 GB of RAM. My question is can I upgrade my processor and RAM 4 GB because I want to play games. If Ican please tell me how? Please help me.
Your Service Manual:
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.

The upgrade of the MacBook (13-inch, mid 2010) HDD and RAM
Hi all!
Before I get started here are my system specs:
MacBook 13 inch, mid-2010 (white)
Model: A1342
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB
Serial number: 451244SHF5W
Software: OS X El captain
OK here's what I've done the research and understand from my research since a page archived Apple.com, ifixit.com and crucial.com and some comments I've read as well:
According to ifixit.com, saying that most of this computer can manage is a 750 GB hard drive, yet I go to Crucial.com and when I look at the SSD (which I can't afford) says that this computer can be installed with a 1 TB SSD. Does this mean I could install a hard 1 TB? This computer can manage a second 500 GB hard drive at all? My second Question is in what regards the memory now, I go to apple.com page archived and is no longer being updated by Apple, it says most who manages this computer is 2 GB to 4 GB. I am not convinced. Is not possible to move to 8 GB to 16 GB or more on such a system? I'm just curious, I bought this from a seller on eBay who reconditions the Apple laptops and I bought this for a member of the family. If none of these improvements are possible I send this computer back and get my money back. Thanks for the help. I need a response as the end of today! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

It's the right information:
A model of Macbook 2010 7 identifier, 1 will support up to 16 GB of RAM (download the OWC)
https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/upgrade/DDR3_Wh ite
You can install a SATA HDD/SSD currently available that are 2 TB of capacity.
You can install a "data cube" instead of for a second HDD, but as this Macbook DVD drive can have a 2 TB of HARD disk installed, I see little interest to do unless you have an extraordinary amount of data.
Ciao.

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:
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.

Pavilion dv7t-3300: weird behavior after adding the SSD and RAM upgrade
Has just added a new HD SSD to my note as "disk 1"(the former one is 'disk 0', he has a Win. " 8.1 works). Installed Win. 10 in the new drive and everything has worked well so far. I tried to upgrade the memory, so I bought two Crucial DDR3 1333 with 8 GB memory each, the previos configuration were two 2 GB memory (4 GB total).
The question is: If you use a single memory (8 GB) everything looks Ok. If I add the other (16 GB total), the new SSD is not recognized, but the old man works as usual. The new drive is not yet recognized after botting from the former (not even from the Disk Manager). Already tried to drag the disks with no luck. There seems to be something with the memory, since everything works with a memory of 8 GB or with two 2 GB memory, but with two memoirs of 8Gb the new SSD seems to be dead
Advice or similar experiences? Is there something that I am missing?
So much worse... the SSD seems to be broken or something similar. Does not work on the other PC, then... I guess that this has nothing to do with the memory
BTW, the 16 GB are works fine

Satellite U300 - help hardware upgrade to SSD and RAM
Hello world
I want to completely upgrade my toshiba satellite U300-140, mount VISTA and default the technical features, posted above.I need your help to choose the best (and economic) device SSD and RAM slot. It is very important for me to know what is probably compatible with my device. Please, could you help me in your experience?
And... an SSD is worthy, at the speed of my laptop? I was thinking about kingston 120 Gb or 240 GB V300
http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Lite-U300-14O/
According to specification for laptop, you can be upgraded up to 4 GB RAM in order to use 2 x 2 GB of RAM. The compatible RAM modules have PA3513U-1M2G part number.
I think with SSD, you shouldn't have any problems. I updated my old P500 with 250 GB Samsung 840 SSD and it works perfectly.
