How to Upgrade HP Elitebook 840 G3 Memory

How to upgrade the memory in a HP Elitebook 840 G3 notebook/laptop. This video shows you how to increase the system memory from 4GB to 16GB of memory. This offers significant power and performance increases to the standard 4GB. I've tried to make this video as clear and as understandable as I can to help you guys.
Remove the 11 screws on the base of the unit, remembering to remove the SD expansion card and screw. Pop the base off to gain access to the Memory. Rebuild as dissembled.
As always guys, thanks for watching so please like and subscribe to me, cheers dudes! Don't forget to share this if you found it great to watch and useful to you, see you next time, Jake.

I have upgraded the RAM in desktop and laptop systems for many years, and yet I still watch your 'how to' vids, just because its you :D. The video also took me back to my school days where the Windows 7 systems used the classic theme. Keep up the good work Mr Billing :)

[@zhongguo3996]

Thanks for such a short but very clear video. Great work!

[@djdenisol1]

Please keep doing IT videos, I am doing a course in college for IT and all because of your channel

[@keden1974]

Thanks for showing this video. I had never done it before and it was so helpful to watch. Done in one, as they say!

[@InvestWithoutBeingRippedOff]

Great video, straight to the point without a single "I'm going to go ahead and...". Might be worth showing you touching the pipe into a radiator to demonstrate earthing yourself? Absolute newbies might understandably think of "touch something metal" in a number of ways. Thanks again, saved me a bunch of time.

[@HarrietEsi]

Just what I needed - thank you!

[@rmjz12]

Nice video, worked perfect took 15 minutes. Thanks!!!

[@joelee5071]

Thanks for posting. Very helpful info for memory upgrade.

[@rubenrivera6622]

Hey, Thanks! This video helped me a lot.

[@bobkrang5007]

Good detail information on opening back cover, replacing RAM etc.

[@aaronsiegel3013]

Thanks Man - saved me some time :)

[@ivansandoval777]

Did you change the m.2 drive to a NvME yet? I want to install the Samsung SM961 128gb, do you think it is compatible?

[@talhaanwar28]

It uses a DDR4 but which bus speed (MHz) should i put in for compatibility?

[@gabrielcastillo4521]

A very useful video

[@JakeBilling]

I'm going to "first" my own video!

[@SidTheGeek]

Very informative.

[@jdalphin]

I see this is for the 840, would this be a similar job on an 850 G3?

[@testpurpose7340]

thanks bro....It's work.

[@Lunidaco]

Can i Upgrade my HP Elitebook 850 G2 with a 16gb kit from HyperX HX316LS9IBK2/16 Impact Arbeitsspeicher, DDR3L 16GB (Kit 2x8), 1600MHz, CL9, SODIMM 1,35V or should i buy just a 4gb ram stick

[@Humanist1199]

Very helpful sir...straight to the point.could ypu please let me know ram model and power

[@top6ear]

Did it make it more useable, my work HP is so slow under load.

[@mayonaise2229]

Is the ram ddr3 or ddr4? What maximum ram can this board supported?

[@DexterKDC]

Maybe start a home server room and restart server stuft?

[@BrandonSalas-us8mm]

I’m looking at one of these at the pawnshop right now for they want 120 I think but it has no charger. I’m wondering if I’d be able to use my hard drive from my G3 desktop into this laptop would that work? Because I Paid for these programs for work and I need to be able to access them if my desktop crashed

[@9hawksway]

I have always been led to believe that the main battery must be removed during memory upgrading. Is that not necessary for these Elite Books?

[@arunchandrasingh4816]

16GB 2400 mhz +8 GB 2400 MHz will work in this hp 840 G3?

[@PingusGaming]

Does it give you the bios warning every time you start the computer or, once it passes first boot after the memory switch, it is added to the "whitelist" for good ? I add a 840 G1 (now with a G3), and adding a non HP-oem ddr3 stick, it would give the warning every time you would start the computer, quite annoying since you have to press a key to continue. Thank you for your answer.

[@khoredon]

Only at the first boot

[@taterlysaladman9377]

@@khoredon what if you just let it boot up and then check the mem in the operating system? just as easy right mate?

[@EsJoseZC]

What kind of dimm does it use? Or better question: How do I look it up on Amazon?

[@HotdogSosage]

Hi there mate. Any chance you could tell me what the standard ram is for the hp? I want to add another stick but can't see what the current one is. I believe it's the standard factory ram as stock

[@JakeBilling]

JJ JAY The factory RAM is: DDR4-2400 or PC4-19200. The machine comes with 4GB and supports up to 16GB 2x8GB 👍🏻

[@GazlazML5]

Later revisions of the G3 will support up to 32GB. I have that configuration in mine.

[@Imnotimportant555]

Hey Jake was this someones personal laptop or was this laptop owned by a business? it looks like a laptop tha a business would purchase and use plus it has Windows 7 Enterprise installed by someone else other than HP.

[@jon123423]

I didn't like popping part - but would have like some breaking!

[@Juan-lj4pi]

does anybody knows it this laptop supports a m.2 sata ssd?

[@rfollett01]

currently have 4gb and want to make sure i buy correct ram, i have found this code T7B77AA - is this correct ? thank you

[@victorezeagu1893]

How do I knw the memory type to buy

[@taterlysaladman9377]

wait until they invent the internet then google it

[@colin9630]

Did you notice much of / any difference at all?

[@JakeBilling]

Yes performance has improved when multitasking.

[@taterlysaladman9377]

massive difference, first thing I did was check the calendar, it's taken me forward two whole years

[@Redeemed52597]

I appreciate the video, but you really need to be more careful in your presentation. You should remove the battery prior to installing the memory since the battery may be feeding some electrical current to the memory bay and other components of the motherboard. You also didn't mention that the laptop should be powered down first (i.e. not in hibernate or sleep modes), which otherwise could ruin memory components upon uninstall/install. Also you say, "earth yourself on something metal because of ESD," but A+ Cert requires remaining in contact with ground during all PC repairs. I'm not a pro, but I find having the components sitting on top of a large electrostatic bag and maintaining contact with it to be sufficient to preventing ESD.

[@lukeboggs5274]

So this is RC stuff???

[@JakeBilling]

Luke Boggs perhaps you should take a look at how this channel started

[@noahh.davidd]

Road to 50k anyone?

[@bendeco]

My company said these only come with 8 gigs of onboard memory. What a bunch of idiots they don't think I'm going to go look the model number up and the specs and the manual and then look for videos to see whether or not this can be done? I'm just going to go get my own memories taking upgrade my own laptop since my company is too cheap to do anything about it. Not having the right tools to do the job is what drives companies out of business.

[@taterlysaladman9377]

they can't help it they are all computer illiterate, even the folks at the companies that make the computers are nearly all computer illiterate. you only have to know more than the guy that hired you to get the job.

[@ahiyanadiyat]

I hate my pc

[@JakeBilling]
