as easy as shown above - thanks for making this video made me upgrade my laptop that by the way when I bought it was told memory is not upgradeable . Anyhow for $50 my laptop is usable again !
Thanks for video can I just add another 4 ram in the addition slot? (which I did not see in your video) or is it better to take out existing 4 ram and replace with 8 ram. Obvious the 4 ram is a cheaper option. Thanks.
most of these Acer models only allow 1 slot so you only have one option of buying 8GB RAM. but if your model DOES allow two slots, then buying an additional 4GB RAM to add to your existing 4GB will not only be cheaper but you'll also be taking advantage of the dual channel which will slightly increase your performance. my Acer Aspire 3 A315-54K also allows 1 slot so i'll be removing my current 8GB RAM with a 16GB RAM next week. :)
hey mr, nice video , so my pc is the same model as yours, whenever i try to play an old game as fifa 14 it annoyingly lags and sluggs. will upgrading the ram improve my gameplay experience ?thanks in advance
Good day. I just want to ask if you are familiar of the ACER ASPIRE 3 A314-32 C0HQ model of laptop? Does it have a heat sink? Thank you for your further response.
i think that would mainly come down to the hard drive and cpu in the system. but more ram usually doesnt hurt but wont usually completely change the running speed
wow acer really did it, they are better than asus with the cover of asus hanged to the wires when you open.... I ordered 8 gb ram hopefully it will not be difficult to put in the extra ram
I was working on the laptop (the same laptop in the video) and it was charging then it turned off completely and didn't turn on after that.. any advice how i fix this ?
Hi Rick really good tutorial I'm going to get this exact laptop off of Amazon, you put in 8 gig ram can I put in 16 gig and can I upgrade the memory??? I just subscribed 😀
@@rickstechrepairs As I know theese Acers came even 4 or 8 GB soldered to the MOBO. I think this one had 4GB soldered and 4 GB slotted and you just upgraded to 12 Gigs. This BIOS isn't able to handle more than 8GB added RAM.
Hello ! I bought an Aspire model (3 A315-22-46YA8). I tried to install 2 different Crucial drams 4 gb ( 2133 and the other 2666). Non of them worked. PC doesn't boot.. Suggestions ?
Yes, 100% - Always disconnect the power before adding / removing RAM... and be careful not to touch the contacts as he did in this video, as RAM is vulnerable to static discharge. A computer technician should be wearing a static strap to prevent static electricity from damaging the RAM or any other components in the computer.
i have a a-315-42 which is nowhere to be found but i unscrewed it and its easily possible to see and replace my ram, you can always unscrew and check i guess?
I don't belive so, well not static electricity There is a extremely slim risk of damage. But I find simply confirming the machine is 100% powered of before swapping the ram
Dear @rick tech am currently having issues with loading adobe programmes too much lagging and very slow if I upgrade the ram will it improve drastically? Plz advice
first thing i look at when computers are sluggish is what hard drive is in the machine.. ..Anything thats running a 3rd generation intel cpu and newer (so 7/8year old pc's) the biggest thing that makes them sluggish is the hard drive, replace that with an SSD and that Will give you a noticable speed improvement
My acer aspire 3 laptop started flickering while i am working and speed also slows down. Then i have to press the power button and start it again, but after 2 mins it starts flickering again. Please tell any solution
You should push the power button a few times after disconnecting the battery every time you do anything to a computer. Also anyone that has the newer model should ignore this, it is totally different.
Just to confirm if i have this model that comes with 4gb ram, when i replace ram can i add a 4gb to the empty slot to make 8gb ram or do i have to buy one 8gb ram
if the plastic part that says "ASPIRE" thats inbetween then screen and the keyboard get removed like somehow it got it out, how can i put it back in, like i cant figure out the trick🙄
hi rick, i have a problem with mi Acer aspire A315-31, It turned off suddenly yesterday, it did not turn on again and neither the charging light nor the ignition light work, as I use it for studies I would like you to help me know how to turn it on again
not overly, focus on Size / Speed and to the more advanced also look at Cas Latency. Otherwise ignore brand and look at the size and speed of the stick of ram
@@rickstechrepairs I removed factory RAM (4gb Stick) and added a 16gb now it says I have 20gb Ram, where is the other 4? do I need to remove or will it function OK?
This is really helpful, thank you so much! Thanks to your tutorial I've successfully managed to change the RAM module in my husband's laptop 😊

Excellent demonstration and explanation. Thanks. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Yo love the vid helps me a lot but witch type of ram did you buy I can’t get the correct one I have the same pc as you
depending on price you could
1x8GB DDR4 2666mhz Or higher depending on price
1x16GB DDR4 2666mhz or 3200mhz if its cheapers
i assume there are new scratches at the top lid. the staple is in pure joy while the top lid glides to focus the internal parts as you go
nar its all good
Thank you it helped. I also wanted to ask is it possible to swap the CPU ?
Not possible
Very detailed explanation and demonstration thank you :)

hey mr, nice video ,

i think the limitation is more the lack of dedicated GPU.
if you are on 4GB of ram maybe upgrade to 8gb
Mine wont boot at all. When i press the power button the "tianocore" keep looping
hey excuse me I want to ask, does the battery socket still have to be unplug even though the laptop has been shut down?
don't believe so
Is this similar to the A315-55KG model?
Think so my dude
it should be the same on the inside.

No idea sorry
You will have to open to find out
What more can you upgrade for a better gaming instead of ram?. Mine is Acer aspire3 A314-22
Only ram and SSD can be upgraded
where is the keyboard connector located into i need to reseat it
i think its to the left of the battery connector

Ur video is awesome 👍
I have a question
Can I upgrade my ram to 16 gb ?
5:40 , yes you could
I have a 4gb acer laptop and need it to be faster for university online work. Would upgrading to 8gb RAM help the overall performance of my laptop?
i think that would mainly come down to the hard drive and cpu in the system.
but more ram usually doesnt hurt but wont usually completely change the running speed
Is there a specific kind of ram you have to buy for this laptop? I have it and I'm looking to upgrade
go either 8GB or 16GB Single SODIMM of 2666mhz
You my friend are a life saver
cheers
thank you for your video. much appreciated.
You are welcome!
wow acer really did it, they are better than asus with the cover of asus hanged to the wires when you open.... I ordered 8 gb ram hopefully it will not be difficult to put in the extra ram
for 50 euros imported from germany it was very easy, like 15 minutes to get operation done....
Is disconnecting the battery really needed when upgrading the ram?
I personally dont belive so, but plenty of people subscribe to the idea that you do
Why didn't you put both of the ram?
I have a question, is the ram slot for additional ram or is it already have a ram stick in it?
not sure
would it be wise to just disconnect the fan completely? would it increase battery life?
No that is a bad idea
That would cause the CPU to run at maximum temp for its whole working life
what ram brand would you recommend??
crucial
Gskill
Kingston
3200mhz
I was working on the laptop (the same laptop in the video) and it was charging then it turned off completely and didn't turn on after that.. any advice how i fix this ?
If you can disconnect the battery, give that a shot
Is there any chance i could mess this up and break my laptop?
There is that risk
Hi Rick really good tutorial I'm going to get this exact laptop off of Amazon, you put in 8 gig ram can I put in 16 gig and can I upgrade the memory??? I just subscribed 😀
ram can be upgraded, i would recommend installing matching amount of ram, so 2x8gb or 2x16gb
@@rickstechrepairs As I know theese Acers came even 4 or 8 GB soldered to the MOBO. I think this one had 4GB soldered and 4 GB slotted and you just upgraded to 12 Gigs. This BIOS isn't able to handle more than 8GB added RAM.
i have 8gb ram model, does it have 2 ram slots??
how many gb was tht mem stick? im guessing 8? mine won;t take 16 for some reason but does have 4gb soldered on board
It can take 12GB Ram max
In conclusion, only 1 ram slot?
Yes
Disappointment
The place where the dvd drive goes is where the hdd goes i had an hdd there in my one and no ram

Would the critical 8GB DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) SODIMM 260-Pin Memory off Amazon be a good fit for the Acer aspire 3
that should be fine
We can upgrade cpu or GPU
No, to CPU and GPU
No

The Acer must not like that brand
Is the CPU upgradable as well?
As almost all laptops are, it's not upgradeable
how do i know which ram to buy sir
install CPUZ and run, it will tell you what you currently have
Hey mate. I’ve got this laptop with 8gb ram. Can you go up to 16gb?
You should be able to to, but I would recommend opening your laptop prior to purchasing a part
Is it necessary to plug off the power before installing the RAM?
i dont belive so but i have plenty of people commenting saying you should

Acer Aspire 3 A315-22-49ZE RAM upgraded maximum?
if you are running a A4-9120
dont bother upgrading the ram more than 8G..
..the cpu is so slow you wont see any difference
where is the other ram slot cuz my laptop says it has 2 and i’m confused and also is the cpu upgradable on the acer aspire a315-23 pls reply thanks
cpu is not upgradable
i would assume its lying, or you have a single slot and the other "stick of ram" is soldered to the board
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Where did you buy the ram stick from
Amazon
Great video, Thank you
Your welcome
hi idk if I can upgrade it so can I???
