Upgrading RAM on ThinkPad E420 (1141CTO)

Hello

I plan to upgrade my RAM on my E420 (1141CTO). He already has a 4 GB on one slot. Couple of questions here.

1. What is the max RAM I can continue until this laptop computer (Intel i3 2nd Gen) E420.

2. as I have 4 GB on a slot can I put a 8 GB of RAM (single module) on the other location.

3. what brand of RAM I can use.

4. on this model can I have another RAM easily stare at me or him asking on the other side are the slots positioned such that I can do this easily by simply opening a couple of screws or do I have to tear it up.

5. any other special consideration as on clock speed?

Thank you.

1. 16 gigs is the maximum.
2. Yes, you can
3. any State (just avoid the values of Kingston and Corsair).
4. the ram slots is accessible by removing the quick access plate. http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77263
5. anything with 1333 mhz speed should be fine.

    Looking at the specs you should be good to go, but have not personally tested, I can't be 100% sure.

    What really works, as I installed it in my T61p is Corsair VS4GSDS800D2 G.

    Hi Syed,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I suggest you try to install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it works for you. I saw this troubleshooting procedure described working for other members of the community.

    Step 1: Download the driver for the Webcam from this link of Lenovo.

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS015018

    Step 2: Installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows:

  • The upgrade of my Lenovo E420

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my laptop hardware E420 total increase my performance, to speed up my computer.  My question is, what are all the things I can spend?

    I know that cpu and gpu, you can't.  I've already updated my ram from 4 GB to 8 GB

    IAM thinking about upgrading my hard drive 5400 RPM HARD drive at 7200 RPM HARD drive.  Is this possible?  If so, can I just buy any HARD 7200 RPM disk and install in my laptop?  Are there any other HARD drive speeds I can get?   (don't want SSD btw)

    In addition, can what other things I put?

    It's good to hear that the post helped.

    I checked the user for E420 Guide, but there was no statement on the change of the CPU.

    Instead, this article on PCWorld may help you:
    http://www.PCWorld.com/article/148910/replace_your_laptops_cpu.html if you are not experienced in the treatment of the components of the computer and do not want to take the risk of making mistakes, I suggest go you to the Lenovo's Service Center or a local hardware store.

    Good luck with it.

    Kind regards

Just for the records of a Lenovo ThinkPad E420, just in case someone like if I use this software in the Lenovo laptop.

    Any recommendation? Lenovo staff: Any software update?

  • Tecra Z40 - A - the upgrade (RAM RAM)

    Hi all

    Ordered little RAM to upgrade my Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A, but can not find, for the life of me, anything where you want to insert online.

    I previously installed RAM under the keyboard (couple of clips holding it) and on the other, a small cover on the bottom, but the Z40 does not appear to be anywhere easily accessible.

    Has anyone upgraded RAM on the Z40? Or is it a big no, no, because of the guarantee?

    Thank you
    Lance

    Memory upgrade on this model Tecra is a bit complicated and, in my view, should not be done by the owner of the laptop. For some models of Ram upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and exact instructions how do proposed in document s user manuals, but not for your Tecra.

    For full access to the RAM modules lower lid should be removed and it can be done by people of service only. If you do this alone you can void the warranty valid.
    I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help or advice.

  • Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

    I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

    -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

    -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

    -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

    -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

    Thanks much for any help.

    The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

    You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
    After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

  • Upgrade Ram on a Netbook NB200 - 00L

    I gave to my two daughters a Netbook Toshiba NB200 - 00L. Both came loaded with Windows 7 Starter. If I just upgrade to Windows Home Premium, it will slow down computers. I was told that the maximum ram that can take netbooks is 1gig. However, I keep seeing that people are upgraded to 2gigs. I want to upgrade the ram so that Windows Home Premium will work better. Can someone enlighten me on this subject. Upgrading ram Home Premium support will be more effective? Also, is anyone Home Premium running on their netbooks without upgrading, and it is really slow? Thank you

    Hello

    AFAIK NB200 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can check the specs on the Toshiba site!

    I m not NB200 owner but I improved my other laptops equipped with modules from Kingston. I've never had a problem with these modules. They always run stable and don t make problems.

  • Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM

    There was a discussion here ("Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM") on the upgrade memory.
    He said that for TECRA 8000 - capacity maximum 256 MB memory (2 x 128). (unlike TECRA 8100 - which can be upgraded to 512)

    Does anyone know if the BIOS change may allow 512 MB with TECRA 8000?

    Thanks in advance,
    Piotr

    Hello

    I don t think that after updating the BIOS on the Tecra 8000, you will be able to use the 512 MB of memory.
    Like you said you can use max 256 MB (2 x 128 MB SDRAM)

  • Is it safe to upgrade RAM from 4 GB to 16 GB on mid2012 13 "MBP?

    It's time to upgrade RAM and OWC claims it is safe to upgrade to 16 GB on my mid-2012 13 "MBP with 2.5 GHz processor Intel Core i5 and 500 GB hard drive, but everything on the Apple site indicates upgrade max is 8 GB. I want speed, but worry, it could be too much for the material.

    Anyone else tried the more memory RAM successfully?

    In theory this is your memory needs:

    Maximum memory (Real) 16 GB 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory locations 2-204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

    The answer to your question is that you can upgrade to 16 GB. Because it depends on the machine itself, we cannot assure you that it is "safe". It may work or it may not work. This isn't a certified Apple upgrade. It is rather an upgrade coming OWC. They sell RAM for this upgrade. Other vendors such as DataMem and Crucial RAM probably do not sell 16 GB upgrade kits.
