Thank you bro for detail video. I managed to upgrade to SSD and RAM with help of your video. this gave new life to my laptop. Win 10 works good only with SSD I learn after my upgrade. Some tips: I put screw back at original position where it’s possible so I don’t have to remember that spot and worries to keep at secure place .
Thanks to your video, I was able to replace the thermal paste on my laptop (HP 15 r261nm), install an additional RAM card and clean the interior from dirt. If you happen to be in Serbia, be sure to call, I owe you a drink (rakiju).
Hello Bro, very nice and detailed explanation. I have three quick questions and looking for your help: 1) I want to clean the fan and vent so after opening the panel can I remove fan just after removing the wifi card? I think it's not necessary to remove any thing else other than wifi card to remove the fan on this model? 2) Can vent be also cleaned (after removing fan) without detaching the motherboard? 3) Also can we use a normal soft brush to clean the little dust on motherboard? Thank you 👍

Is the existing ram single channel? Should both the slots needs to have same channel types? Single/single or dual/dual What is the maximum extendable limit for this model? Can I add 8gb card along with existing 4gb? It would be helpful if you could answer those!
@@SivaBal642 there's no such thing as single channel and dual channel RAM as far as I know. You want even number of sticks and same capacity for it to run in dual channel mode.

Hello, thanks for the detailed video. You mentioned cpu is soldered to the board, so is there any way to apply thermal paste on cpu and gpu for heating problems on this laptop?
Looks like my hard drive has failed so ordered "plug and play" hard drive used replacement from ebay. I am pretty sure I have lost what may have been on puter. Is it a simple swap if they say plug & play? All I have are recovery discs?
I could if you shipped me one and paid for the repair. I can't survive off of buying every computer and making videos. Sadly each video makes me less than $1 on average and not many people support the channel beyond watching a few seconds of a video for a tiny piece of information. 😢
@@Comdeywalashorts I don't know. I would assume they're all dual channel unless only one stick is used. I don't own these computers and don't bother with specs. I just fix them.
Very well explained. Just not sure it's worth me adding more RAM. It has 4 now. Was going to max it at 16, e 8 mb sticks. Just send like a lot of delicate connectors to worry about. Not sure that will solve the sluggish performance of the computer.
Hello Bro. Great video ! A legit one indeed. Very detailed. I have a question, what is the max. capacity of the RAM on HP 15 - R014TX ? Please reply. I already have a 4 + 4. Now I'm planning to upgrade it to 8 + 8, do you think it will work ? I checked on the crucial website, it says 16gb ( max. ). But I wasn't so sure. Thanks!
Good Morning in CA Excellent video Binh. I'm trying to upgrade the same laptop for a friend. The SSD upgrade went well but the memory not. I did the scan with Crucial to make sure the module was compatible. I got the memory stick from Amazon, 8GB but the laptop not even boot with it. When I put back the old memory stick it works well. I just want to double the memory to 8GB since 4 is not enough for Windows 10. Do you think if I try a different brand will work?? Or can you recommend a module that might work in this case? This model is HP 15-r011 dx. Send me the link if you know of any place where I can get it. Keep up the good work and thanks for your help. From NY, Bismarck Cruz
@@ItsBinhRepaired Yeah, I tried that too and it didn't work. I think it's defective. I already sent it back to Amazon. I'm going to try this one you just gave me. Thanks Again and God bless you.
in all likelihood, if there are parts in a laptop that will be upgraded, its the storage and the ram. Its crazy how these manufacturers make it so difficult for end users to do this. Couldnt they make special compartments for ram and HDD/SSD? Couldnt they integrate a tiny switch that will also disconnect the battery from the mobo? Geez!
Thanks for the video. Nicely done. I have a couple of questions, if you could please answer them. 1) Can I still follow this video for a 15-R014TU instead of a TX that's used in the video. 2) Is it possible to add an SSD while still keeping the original HDD? Thank you
@@ItsBinhRepaired Thanks for the reply. 2 more Qs if u don't mind. 1) Is the cd drive port SATA2 or SATA3? 2) If SATA3, would it make any difference in the performance of the SSD if it's connected to the cd drive port or to the HDD port (after moving the present 1TB disk to the cd drive port)? Thanks

How was the performance afterwards? What if only RAM added?

Just a Question Could You do a video on how to replace a HDD on an HP 15-r263dx?
I could if you shipped me one and paid for the repair. I can't survive off of buying every computer and making videos. Sadly each video makes me less than $1 on average and not many people support the channel beyond watching a few seconds of a video for a tiny piece of information. 😢
Can we use 8gb ram instead of 4gb in this laptop ?? Please answer.. And also what size of cd rome caddy for this laptop.
Should be fine. You'll want matching sticks of RAM. Measure the thickness in mm of the cd drive. I don't memorize or check those things.
Could you link me a screwdriver? I was using a 1.5x50mm but ran into issues when trying to remove the screws under the cd drive.
