Thank you for posting this mate. Awesome video that helped me a lot to put in a "Vengeance DDR4 32GB 2666MHz" RAM . every one else on youtube says it dosent work with 32GB but it worked fine, i just updated bios right before i installed it and the ram showed up right after startup. :-)
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your upgrade, ya some some reason i have no idea why in the hell is that the specs sheets of all laptop online on the official site always say mas support ram way less than what it actually can handle. also same goes to the HDD or SSD specs they always say 500gb max capacity and NOP its up to 2tb hands down. its like ... come on its sata 6 and m.2 pcie why would you say m.2 pci-e slot max 500gb !!! but im glad that you didn't go with what you read and tested out by your self :P enjoy your upgrade my friend.
do you think it's worth it? was there a big boost to performance? i have this with 8gb and it's not enough, i was going to put 16gb but if 32 is a lot better i'll go that route
@@baphometic8767 you have to know what you want to do, if you want to do gaming 16gb is the sweet spot, widows will not go faster after 8gb, so i would always say to my clients 16 for gaming and work, if you going to do video editing in 4k or stuff like that then 32 because the file that you going to open will be big and it will require more ram.

I’m planning on upgrade my 17inch version of l340 which comes with i7 9th, 128gb ssd+1tb hdd and 16gb ram. I’m wonder if mine has 2 slots of ram. It currently works on single channel(1x16). I’ve done some research but couldn’t find anything useful related to the ram slots. Also I wonder if it has one more spare storage slot which I can place a m2 ssd because I don’t want to remove the current one because I don’t want to install windows again. I don’t want to remove the hdd because its storage is enough but the speed isn’t so it’s a burden on games.

Hey. At the beginning, as a freshman, I would like to say hello. The patient is Lenovo Ideapad L340 - 15IRH 81LK. After replacing the RAM, the laptop does not start, the power LED is blinking. The bone was properly selected parameters, maybe apart from speed, old 2666, new 2400MHz. I also didn't disconnect the battery during the replacement. I put in the old bone, it doesn't work either. Is there any chance for him or rather "candle the lord over his soul"

Thx for the help yet again I asume it dosent make any sense to install a 16 GB DDR 4 RAM card over 2400 mhz as the CPU cant support anything more than 2400 right ?
@@uFixTek What i mean is that i currently have the stock 8GB ram and i want to upgrade to 16 GB ram and from what i have seen anything over 2400hz ram wont bee faster than 2400 cause the CPU cant handle more ?
exactly my friend the motherboard only can go up to 2400. also there is no point to place a higher MHz on this laptops even possible , because its a INTEL CPU , it it was AMD then sure the ram speed can have a dramatic affect, but on intel CPU ram speed has almost no performance increase.
hi UFIXTEK i have been watching your vid for years now u helped me with so many cleaning and fix issue i had , i have a question about this vid i have the same laptop as this vid ideapad l340 with i7-9750H, GTX 1050, 8gb ram, 2tb storage hdd plus 500 ssd that i added i found i Crucial ram stick 16gb 3200Mhz i was wondering if it is compatible with my laptop. Thanks again.
you can't change that the bios and the motherboard will take that 3200 and will auto adjust to the max hz it can put the ram to, in this case the 32gb ram can be pushed to 2400. on some advanced bios like gaming laptops and most pc there is something called XMP enable, but you don't have that option in this laptop.
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: yes that should work fine my friend, and regarding the ram, doesn't matter what ram make model you put you won't know the difference on this laptop, if you had a PC and advanced motherboard with XMP option then sure. this laptop has a basic bios, no matter what ram you place the MOBO will adjust to the limits it can handle , for e.g if you buy a 3200mhz the bios will downgrade it to 2666mhz, and you have spend the money for nothing. so go with regular ram here is a very good compatible ram we use: amzn.to/3Gyd6A2

🫠Regarding your question, yes, you can. You will need to order a RAM chip from AliExpress and get a heat gun, flux, and experience with reballing. If you heat too much or too fast, the chip will get damaged, and if you heat for too long, it will also get damaged. If you heat for too little time, it will not solder. Reballing requires experience; we do that for our clients. I would highly recommend you go to good tech support and tell them to solder RAM chips.

Regarding your question, i would recommend 2Rx8 it is best for the performance, or get this CL19, very solid and awesome performance amzn.to/3sx0R2k here is some info about both: 1Rx16: "1R" indicates a single rank module, meaning it has a single set of memory chips that are accessed together. "x16" means the data bus width of each memory chip is 16 bits. This configuration typically uses fewer memory chips on the module. It can provide higher memory density since it uses fewer chips, making it more cost-effective and potentially allowing for larger capacity modules. The module may support slower speeds compared to other configurations. 2Rx8: "2R" indicates a dual rank module, which means it has two sets of memory chips, and each set is accessed separately. "x8" indicates the data bus width of each memory chip is 8 bits. This configuration uses more memory chips on the module. It might provide better memory performance in certain scenarios due to the dual rank setup, but it can also be slightly more power-hungry. Typically, 2Rx8 modules are more common and widely compatible with various laptop systems. Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.

My mother board was damaged and irepairable now. I was aware of the extra precaution of disconnecting the power supply from the battery (3:30) but my excitement and subconscious that says its ok not to disconnect, i webt on without disconnecting. So take the extra precaution.
if you upgrading the ram SSd you never ever need to disconnect the battery at all absolutely no need. there is no way one can damage the board. in other most of the laptop they have a little cover to access the ram only or the ssd. if it was so important to remove the battery then they would never leave a cover for upgrading only ram or ssds. so if you damaged the board its not because of the bad ram installation you must have touched other placed or something. i appreciate the feedback, thank you if you have any question or request in the future feel free to ask me.

because you BIOS and your motherboard can read 16gb @ 2600mhz if your CPU is INTEL then you don't even have to worry about the mhz if you had AMD CPU then more MHz better.
@@uFixTek Thankyou very much. Yes it's Intel. I was just confused if crucial/Amazon provided me the wrong product and then i double checked and RAM was 3200mhz.
no problem its my pleasure to help, and yes if you get a 3200 ram but your motherboard will decide what the max ram that it can handle. also only in PC and high end laptops you can turn on an option in bios (XMP) that will activate the max ram support, but in your laptop that option is not available.
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P regarding your question: the reason is that the bios will adjust it self to the supported speed of the ram based on ram size. on PC motherboards you can force the speed by activating the XMP option in your bios, but your mother board doesn't have this option so you can only run 16gb at 2400 but again if you have INTEL CPU you don't need to worry about this as intel cpu don't care much about ram speed.

No, you don't need to remove the battery or disconnect it. What likely happened is that the device was not powered off, or during the opening, you lifted the LCD, which may have triggered the power on. No laptop requires you to disconnect the battery to upgrade the SSD, HDD, or RAM. If you know the schematics, you would understand. However, it's unfortunate for you because your laptop might have been on suspended mode, or the display was opened during the process. Some manufacturers recommend disconnecting the battery to eliminate human error in not powering off the device or as an extra precaution. The reason we don't recommend disconnecting the battery is that it resets the BIOS to its default settings, causing you to lose any performance configurations. I hope you can get it fixed.
@@uFixTek I didn't power on the laptop before finishing the RAM upgrade. I wish you were right, but unfortunatelly I had perfectly working laptop and after the upgrade it doesnt boot. At the service they told me it was caused by a short circuit propably because I didnt unplug the battery during upgrade...
all i can say it has nothing todo with ram upgrade with battery connected, i can make a short video and i will, to show you that with battery connected and powered off and can remove the ram and even try installing it sideway to short the pins and the laptop will not get damaged. i'm 100% sure something went wrong at removing the cover maybe the opening tool touched the board when opening the cover something BUT NOT the ram that caused the short. i been repairing and servicing for over 18years and i can assure you the "short" is not because of the ram. i do really hope you get it fixed 😔
sorry to hear that :( Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P if you have any question or request in the future feel free to ask me before purchasing.
if you don't have on board ram, disconnect the battery and press and hold the power on button for 30sec then plug in the battery and place the new ram and then place the bottom cover and power on and wait 15sec.

regarding your upgrade, ya some some reason i have no idea why in the hell is that the specs sheets of all laptop online on the official site always say mas support ram way less than what it actually can handle. also same goes to the HDD or SSD specs they always say 500gb max capacity and NOP its up to 2tb hands down. its like ... come on its sata 6 and m.2 pcie why would you say m.2 pci-e slot max 500gb !!!
but im glad that you didn't go with what you read and tested out by your self :P enjoy your upgrade my friend.
do you think it's worth it? was there a big boost to performance? i have this with 8gb and it's not enough, i was going to put 16gb but if 32 is a lot better i'll go that route
@@baphometic8767 Yes for me it was defenetly worth it. i use a lot of ram for my usecases.
in the task manager it appears as 2666mhz?
@@baphometic8767 you have to know what you want to do, if you want to do gaming 16gb is the sweet spot, widows will not go faster after 8gb, so i would always say to my clients 16 for gaming and work, if you going to do video editing in 4k or stuff like that then 32 because the file that you going to open will be big and it will require more ram.

Also I wonder if it has one more spare storage slot which I can place a m2 ssd because I don’t want to remove the current one because I don’t want to install windows again.

#1, NO to a coin use for opening, must be a opening tool or a metallic guitar pick.
#2, The bottom case will snap to its place with a nice firm pinch (use more force on pinch).
#3, if you get the correct ram it will recognize on the 1st try , you may have to wait 15sec after pressing the power on, so the motherboard does the ram check. if nothing then defective ram (return), compatible ram we use: amzn.to/40suRrk
#4. Stop worrying so much 🍻
Hey. At the beginning, as a freshman, I would like to say hello. The patient is Lenovo Ideapad L340 - 15IRH 81LK. After replacing the RAM, the laptop does not start, the power LED is blinking. The bone was properly selected parameters, maybe apart from speed, old 2666, new 2400MHz. I also didn't disconnect the battery during the replacement. I put in the old bone, it doesn't work either.

disconnect the charger disconnect the battery remove the rams, and press and hold the power button for 60 sec.
place the new ram in all the way in and make sure it makes a nice landing and the clips open close softly.

and from what i have seen anything over 2400hz ram wont bee faster than 2400 cause the CPU cant handle more ?
exactly my friend the motherboard only can go up to 2400. also there is no point to place a higher MHz on this laptops even possible , because its a INTEL CPU , it it was AMD then sure the ram speed can have a dramatic affect, but on intel CPU ram speed has almost no performance increase.

@@uFixTek well I got it but in task manager it only says 2400 mhz and not 3200mhz I dont know how to change it tho
you can't change that the bios and the motherboard will take that 3200 and will auto adjust to the max hz it can put the ram to, in this case the 32gb ram can be pushed to 2400.
on some advanced bios like gaming laptops and most pc there is something called XMP enable, but you don't have that option in this laptop.
Would spudger pry tools work? Also for the clip on the back would I just lift up a bit?

regarding your question: yes that should work fine my friend, and regarding the ram, doesn't matter what ram make model you put you won't know the difference on this laptop, if you had a PC and advanced motherboard with XMP option then sure. this laptop has a basic bios, no matter what ram you place the MOBO will adjust to the limits it can handle , for e.g if you buy a 3200mhz the bios will downgrade it to 2666mhz, and you have spend the money for nothing. so go with regular ram here is a very good compatible ram we use: amzn.to/3Gyd6A2

Is there anyway I could manually solder memory onto the board to get dual channel ?
🫠Regarding your question, yes, you can. You will need to order a RAM chip from AliExpress and get a heat gun, flux, and experience with reballing. If you heat too much or too fast, the chip will get damaged, and if you heat for too long, it will also get damaged. If you heat for too little time, it will not solder. Reballing requires experience; we do that for our clients. I would highly recommend you go to good tech support and tell them to solder RAM chips.

I will upgrade to 16gb ram also. The question is that is there any difference between 1Rx16 and 2Rx8?
Thank you for your feedback! If you wish to support the channel, you can like, subscribe, or both!
Regarding your question, i would recommend 2Rx8 it is best for the performance, or get this CL19, very solid and awesome performance
amzn.to/3sx0R2k
here is some info about both:
1Rx16:
"1R" indicates a single rank module, meaning it has a single set of memory chips that are accessed together.
"x16" means the data bus width of each memory chip is 16 bits.
This configuration typically uses fewer memory chips on the module.
It can provide higher memory density since it uses fewer chips, making it more cost-effective and potentially allowing for larger capacity modules.
The module may support slower speeds compared to other configurations.
2Rx8:
"2R" indicates a dual rank module, which means it has two sets of memory chips, and each set is accessed separately.
"x8" indicates the data bus width of each memory chip is 8 bits.
This configuration uses more memory chips on the module.
It might provide better memory performance in certain scenarios due to the dual rank setup, but it can also be slightly more power-hungry.
Typically, 2Rx8 modules are more common and widely compatible with various laptop systems.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Note:
before installation in your windows open up the disc manager :
To open Disk Management, right-click the Start button and select Disk Management.
once in the disk manager then see and write down to know what drive is your 256gb ssd labeled with:
DISK0 or DISK1
for example in the image attached you will see that my laptop has my ssd on DISK0.

now with this information on hand once you in windows installation steps, when you get to the step where you have to delete partitions: make sure you delete all the partition related to the DRIVE0 or DRIVE1.
do NOT DELETE THE DRIVE that is you hdd, else you will loose your backup.

(in this picture there is only one drive present) your will have drive 1 and drive 0
IF YOU DONT NEED ANY backup then erase everything on that step and choose the 500gb ssd and click next.
if you need more personalized help let me know i will gladly help you via whatsapp when you doing the installing.
Thanks for uploading this video. I just put a crucial 16 gb cause on internet i read this laptop can support just 16 gb. Is it true? Or do you suggest me to put in it a samsung 32 gb (maybe to improve the CAS)?
Thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
regarding your question: I would highly recommend to go up to 16gb and single rank ram,
dont go to 32gb as you will have issue with motherboard and bios to detect it, we tried in past and not all brands worked and had to update bios and many other stuff, and regards to CAS (latency) with 16gb single chan. you will not notice the difference.

Hi bro. I just installed a 16gb crucial ram 2400mhz. After a day i had 2 instances of blue screen. I updated all drivers and bios including windows update. After a day, I still had 2 random instances of blue screen and had to restart. I switched back to the old 8gb ram and its all good. Does it mean that the 16gb ram is faulty?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: yes it happens a lot, the ram has a defective block. replace and get a different brand
Is it possible I can install a 16gb with 3200mhz frequency. I am afraid it will not support it as sellers are also skeptical. The problem is I am unable to buy 2400mhz due to scarcity...
Yes you can install a 3200 and the bios will auto downclock to whatever speed that it can handle.

can this upgrade to 32gb?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: i believe this CPU can handle 64gb to check that watch this: ua-cam.com/video/tKEJTkVth4Q/v-deo.html
BUT you won't be able to install 64gb or 32GB because you are limited by ram slots, and the max ram that a slot can handle on this motherboard is a 16gb, so you can only install a 16gb ram dim on the slot and if you have 4gb or 8gb on board soldered then it will add to it 16gb+mobo

this laptop have one ram dim available, remove your ram dim and in you see a ram chip soldered on the motherboard the you allready have dual channel (the ram build on the motherboard and the physical ram stick),
BUT if you dont have ram chips on motherboard like this picture:

When I finish putting the new ram and turned on the laptop it puts me on a black screen, what can I do?
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your issue: it happens often that bios dont detect the rams , i recommend you to follow the steps: remove the ram, and remove the battery and charger , press and hold the power ON for 30sec, after plug in the ram and then the battery and power on and wait 10sec. it should detect it. if the above didn't work then you may have a defective or DOA ram.
My mother board was damaged and irepairable now. I was aware of the extra precaution of disconnecting the power supply from the battery (3:30) but my excitement and subconscious that says its ok not to disconnect, i webt on without disconnecting. So take the extra precaution.
if you upgrading the ram SSd you never ever need to disconnect the battery at all absolutely no need. there is no way one can damage the board.
in other most of the laptop they have a little cover to access the ram only or the ssd. if it was so important to remove the battery then they would never leave a cover for upgrading only ram or ssds.
so if you damaged the board its not because of the bad ram installation you must have touched other placed or something. i appreciate the feedback, thank you
if you have any question or request in the future feel free to ask me.

your welcome my friend.
I have added 16 gb crucial ram 3200mhz but in laptop task bar performance it showing 2600 mhz only. I am so confused .
because you BIOS and your motherboard can read 16gb @ 2600mhz
if your CPU is INTEL then you don't even have to worry about the mhz if you had AMD CPU then more MHz better.
@@uFixTek Thankyou very much. Yes it's Intel. I was just confused if crucial/Amazon provided me the wrong product and then i double checked and RAM was 3200mhz.
no problem its my pleasure to help, and yes if you get a 3200 ram but your motherboard will decide what the max ram that it can handle. also only in PC and high end laptops you can turn on an option in bios (XMP) that will activate the max ram support, but in your laptop that option is not available.
@@uFixTek Thankyou
anytime 😊
i bought a single channel 16GB 2666hz ram and upgraded it from the stock 8gb 2666.
i dont know why my laptop is now running in 16GB 2400hz.....
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: the reason is that the bios will adjust it self to the supported speed of the ram based on ram size. on PC motherboards you can force the speed by activating the XMP option in your bios, but your mother board doesn't have this option so you can only run 16gb at 2400
but again if you have INTEL CPU you don't need to worry about this as intel cpu don't care much about ram speed.
Hello thanks for the tutorial :) what 32gb Ram would be suitable for this laptop?

How to upgrade ssd
here is a link for ssd upgrade:
ua-cam.com/video/Wg-v4mUiaY0/v-deo.html
cheers🍻
You should always remove battery before upgrading ram!!! I did not and now I have to spend money to repair not booting laptop...
No, you don't need to remove the battery or disconnect it. What likely happened is that the device was not powered off, or during the opening, you lifted the LCD, which may have triggered the power on.
No laptop requires you to disconnect the battery to upgrade the SSD, HDD, or RAM. If you know the schematics, you would understand. However, it's unfortunate for you because your laptop might have been on suspended mode, or the display was opened during the process.
Some manufacturers recommend disconnecting the battery to eliminate human error in not powering off the device or as an extra precaution. The reason we don't recommend disconnecting the battery is that it resets the BIOS to its default settings, causing you to lose any performance configurations.
I hope you can get it fixed.
@@uFixTek I didn't power on the laptop before finishing the RAM upgrade. I wish you were right, but unfortunatelly I had perfectly working laptop and after the upgrade it doesnt boot. At the service they told me it was caused by a short circuit propably because I didnt unplug the battery during upgrade...
all i can say it has nothing todo with ram upgrade with battery connected, i can make a short video and i will, to show you that with battery connected and powered off and can remove the ram and even try installing it sideway to short the pins and the laptop will not get damaged. i'm 100% sure something went wrong at removing the cover maybe the opening tool touched the board when opening the cover something BUT NOT the ram that caused the short.
i been repairing and servicing for over 18years and i can assure you the "short" is not because of the ram.
