• Satellite Pro A100: Upgrading RAM void my warranty?

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 today and, having only 256mbRAM I want to update my 512 RAM. If I discover the RAM slots and replace it, this will void my warranty?

  Thank you

  (NB several opinions would be appreciated)

  Hello

  You warranty still valid. You can upgrade the memory without any problems, but you must use the right modules and supported.
  As far as I know, these modules are compatible:
  DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
  1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

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

• 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.

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

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.

• SSD and RAM on my W530 installation will void the warranty?

  SSD and RAM on my W530 installation will void the warranty?

  Adil is correct. The RAM and hard drive are considered "replaceable consumer units", which means Lenovo allows not only, but expect end users to manage any updates of these components by themselves.

• Adding a new power supply will void the warranty

  Hello

  I would like to replace the power supply 350w comes with the HP Pavilion p6-2378.  I have a 500w I'd replace it with.  Will this void my warranty?  This is the standard of 1 year.  I do that so that I can put a secondary graphics (AMD Radeon 4650 [assuming there is enough electricity to 500w?]) and take advantage of the GPU power and additional outputs. Then, would it be making void my warranty?

  Thank you

  Upgrade your PC with approved HP and parts supplied will not void your warranty.

  However, if you upgrade your PC with parts that are not approved HP and HP determines that the changes caused failure HP is not required to honor the warranty.

  Some PC outside the United States are delivered with seals and if broken the warranty is voided.  I have yet to see the seals on the PC of American consumers.

• HP Pavilion 15-ab234nl: voiding the warranty

  Hi all

  yesterday I got a new HP laptop and I want to install an SSD with a caddy, replacing the DVD drive.

  My question is, if I do this replacement, the warranty? There isn't that one screw to remove to remove the DVD drive, so I don't have to diassemble the computer laptop everything.

  Thank you!

  Understood. The optical drive is a replaceable item user simply remove the DVD drive and replace it with a caddy for one SSD/HDD can not void the warranty. However, you might want to reconsider putting a SSD in such a caddy. The interface is slower than usually used nowadays for the hard drives and SSD and you will lose the advantage of the speed of the SSD. If you want to add storage pure just get a mechanical hard drive much cheaper.

  Based on the specifications of your laptop has a mechanical drive of 1 TB. What you really want to do, is put this SSD inside the 1 TB harddrive where now and put the 1 TB drive in the optical caddy. This is the optimal configuration.

  See p. 49 of repair here:

  Manual

  Opening at the back of the laptop is not technically end user, but it is not really difficult. HP will most likely not voiding the warranty as long as it's done without causing damage. If it was my cell phone, that's what I would do for her.

  Before we do it do a system recovery disk so you can easily reinstall Windows to the SSD. After the back if you need some help with that. The disc in the optical box cannot be bootable, just so that you know who.

• Envy 15-u280nb x 360: disk HARD upgrade to SSD

  Hello

  I recently bought a new laptop with a HARD drive,
  On this site, I saw how to open my laptop: http://support.hp.com/ph-en/document/c04349558
  Now I have this HARD drive: WD7500LPCX (7mm height)
  Is it possible to replace it with an SSD (samsung evo 850 500 GB)
  And use it at full speed?
  The motherboard and the cable does support it?

  Thank you

  The Evo to Samsung 850 is a good choice and is a dropin for a mechanical hard drive replacement. Don't sweat the SATA/SATA-II-III thing, because the Evo 850 and all the other SSD SATA-III are backward compatible with the motherboards SATA-II. The speed difference is negligible in the actual operation. The distinction is theoretical maximum burst that is almost never achieved in actual use speed. Even on a connection SATA-II SSD SATA-III is so much faster than a mechanical hard drive it's no contest and is worth doing. I think that your connection is SATA-III in all cases.

  Connectors and others for the hard drive will work only with an SSD, as the physical form of the two devices is identical... fixing holes and the SATA connectors are the same and in the same place. You have found the tutorial video directly from the hard drive. Just be careful in there since HP does not go on your lease with warranty if something is damaged in the process, but will not void the warranty if you do successfully. Let us know if you need help in the migration of cloning/software.

• HP Pavilion 15-p211ne: upgrade to ssd drive

  Hello

  I recently bought a new HP Pavilion 15-p211ne and I want to replace the optical drive with ssd drive, I have the following questions:
  1 should I put the SSD as a secondary drive and reinstall windows, or it must be primary?
  2. What is the right size: 9.5 mm Universal SATA 2nd disc HARD SSD Hard Drive Caddy for CD / DVD-ROM optical Bay or 12.7 mm
  3. is there an official Universal SATA drive 2nd HARD SSD Caddy drive for CD / DVD-ROM optical Bay of HP, and is it safe to install no hp caddy on my new laptop computer.

  Kind regards

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  It is a 9.5 mm optical drive. See page 63 for removal instructions. You can use any optical drive SATA 9.5 mm hard drive adapter tray. HP is no 'official' part, so you must use a version of alternative, and they are widely available. Try jacobsparts.com.

  However, the SATA interface for the optical drive is slower and will not support booting from the hard disk into the adapter. So I advise you not to put a SSD in one of these adapters because it will not run at full speed.

  The optimal configuration is an SSD as main boot drive and a mechanical drive in pure storage adapter.

  Unfortunately, access to the hard drive inside the laptop is a little difficult and potentially void the warranty if you mess up anything in the process. The manual contains instructions to access the hard disk (p. 88), and these videos show the removal of the top cover (on a closely related model) which is the hardest part:

• Adding a GIGABYTE 660 OC will void my warranty? Problems of heat?

  Hi - I wait tomorrow my new 8700 XPS and wonders if the addition of this card will void the warranty? I don't see it on the list of cards approved, although I saw some 660 s

  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB

  www.amazon.com/.../B00942TK8I

  I was also wondering if there will be problems of heat with long game several hours a day. (e.g. Skyrim/Assassin Creed/Dragon Age Inquisition)?

  I'll upgrade later from the PSU and video card, assuming the case is pretty cool - I have a Coolermaster EVO that I doubt will fit.

  Any other advice on installation? I don't know if the update of the Bios is required for this card.

  Anyway, thanks in advance.

  warranty shouldn't be a problem. Older GPU do not need an update of the BIOS, most recent need of revision of the A10.

  Here's a whole thread discussing what you plan.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19611037

  I don't come by that much money on a 660 GTX when more recent, better, faster cards is available for less money, that draw less energy and generate less heat.

  A GTX 960 will well on skyrim and OK on Assassin creed.

  A GTX 970 will be much better, but the OEM PSU is at the limit

  Cooling is not bad at all, just make sure that the case has a lot of airflow around it.
