I finally did it! Thanks to your tutorial and the advice you gave along the way. I successfully upgraded my G6 pavilion from A6-3420 to a A8-3500. WITHOUT a hiccup. My temps have been halved and I can now enjoy my laptop for a few more years. Thankyou!
@@JamesDutka Where did you buy your A8-3500 ?? i am looking for one but only find in aliexpress and not sure if it works properly, i am suspicious about the condition of the processor. Thanks
I like how you went nice and slow, spoke clearly, and filmed CLOSE AND CLEAR. THANK YOU. Well made video thank you. You didn’t film in the dark, from 9 ft away with jacked up audio. 👏
This desk was used by Kids. They ate at it and played video games at this desk. This was my first time sitting at this desk in a couple months. I didn't realize how dirty it was until editing this footage. Sorry about that!!
Your reaction was the same as mine. I took apart the whole laptop when I lost a screw after changing the ram and was so HAPPY when I saw how easy it can be to upgrade the CPU. 😀
I have this exact model of the computer with the 3rd gen i7 3612qm. Just upgraded to a SSD recently as well - that 8 threaded quad core is really coming in clutch in these recent years!
Hey bro, Im about to upgrade my G6 also, I got a lot of doubt if this will work but when i watched your video and the result was awesome, hell ! I got excited. Thanks
Dude! That's awesomely satifying 😁. I did the fan in mine, it sucked lol. Now I wish I did all that other stuff too. (Typed on a Hp Pavilion g6 w/bent up keyboard) Thanks man, well done!
Man you’ve given me the confidence to do something similar on my old HP envy. Thankfully I won’t be replacing CPU as it’s a i7 albeit a 3rd gen. However I think it’s still good enough. So I will leave it. I’m going to do the rest as you did. Change the HDD to and SSD, also increase RAM and get myself another battery too. I might just add some thermal paste on the cpu if I’m brave enough to dissemble that far. Good job bro. Thanks again for this video.
good luck! less heat, less battery drain (having the fans always at full blast with old/bad thermal paste), and that slow hard drive spinning at thousands of rpm per second the entire time your laptop is on. I'm excited for you!! You can do it.
I bought a laptop model hp pavilion g6 2151sf in the state. This computer had a defective fan and the battery was out of order. I managed to resurrect the fan, I also took the opportunity to change the thermal paste and dust the PC after a day of testing the fan problem did not return. Currently this computer has 8 GB of RAM and an Intel 3 2350m processor. I would like to try to find an i7 processor
hey i tried to open up the laptop to upgrade the cpu but there is a screw that wont budge any tips? (The screw im talking about is The Keyboard screw beside the wifi card)
i've had luck reviving batteries with an external charger (just a voltage regulated power supply) to get some starting charge in there. some laptops say the battery is bad when they are empty (haven't been used in a few months)
Thank you, I upgraded my laptop from Processor pentum b940 to i7 2620m 🔥But I suffer a little in the heat, with the maximum pressure rising to 86 degrees
Thankies again!! There is a mini pci e to an external pci e so you can upgrade to external graphics!! I just got an AMD phenom II the SSD and the 8g ram from friend!! Going to attempt upgrade just need the thermal paste and psu and graphics!!
Hi thanks for the video. Just wanna ask what cpu did you put it on? It’s all the cpu list that you showed earlier on the video is compatible with the hp pavilion g6 laptop? My laptop model is g6 - 1c62us.
._. I've....got a few laptops that deffently need work on after they got drowned in a flood I let both of the dry out and only my Acer laptop ran for a good while before it stopped working and the charger light began blinking when it wasn't supposed to not sure what may else be wrong with it On the other hand I have an HP 2000-c427 (kinda looks like the G6 in this video) With the AMD E450 APU that also drowned it turned on for a split second before tossing up the single flashing caps lock key before shutting off or trying to boot again At this point it's a major headache not being able to fix them with out cash ._.
I've been wanting to upgrade an old G7 Laptop I've had since about 2012. What type of CPU would you recommend? I need something fast for 3D printing files to load more promptly.
I just pulled out my g7 and want to upgrade it. I had already upgraded to 8gb ram when I had first bought it like 10 years ago. Now i want to do the cpu which looks easy to do. Thanks. Ugh I read that my amd e-450 apu cant be upgraded because its soldered wth
i'm pretty sure it would! Just try it and if it doesn't work, return the 16gb and go back to 8gb. it will either work, or it won't work. :) doesn't hurt to try.
that's awesome to hear David!!! If this was mine and I had to use it everyday, I would of spent a little more and went with the i7. just to get the absolute best performance I could out of it.
@wwjoshdew That was a crazy improvment! Thanks for the Reply, yess it is my daily use computer. Unfortunantly after looking at my model: HP Pavillion g6-1015TU, I think that means it is the previous intel Generation. At the moment it has intel Core i5-480M. Is it still possible to increase to i7 or would that require a whole new 2nd generation mother board? If not the increse to 8GB Ram and SSD will still make a big inprovement. In your experience does switching to SSD and 8GB Ram increase runnning temperature? as my core temp can reach 95 sometimes 105 degrees. Thanks for posting the video it has inspired/ given confidence to update my laptop myself.
hey bro what's going on I have a question I was actually looking up how I can upgrade my possessor I have an hp pavilion 8th gen i3 intel core it has 2 cores same as the one you upgraded basically how do I know if I can upgrade my possessor people are telling me most pc possessors are soldered on so there's no way to upgrade but this is basically the same pc I have and you upgraded it.. do you know if mine is upgradeable? laptop 14-dq0xxx this is my pc model.

You have to do research and find out what the max your motherboard supports. Just find your serial number, type it in on your computers support site, and they have a supported cpu/memory list. That’s what I did and I saw that an i7 would work in this one. But it was like 4 times the cost as the i5.
