This is the Best Video! You have helped me a lot with this! Thanks!

Hi, tell please, which model motherboard for hp 255 g7 ryzen3 2200u ?

[@joemarkose1590]

What kind of SSD should I buy for this SATA or NVME for the bottom right corner slot

[@R1tsu.]

i have the intel core i3 8130u version that has 8gb ram, it is expandable? and if it is what ram do i need to buy?? to the correct model

[@lilvenaz]

does it void the warranty to get to the ram/ssd

[@JuanAntonio-yx2cc]

Is compatible UP with ssd nvme?

[@YiovaniEscamilla]

I have the intel core i7 8565u version and my question is.... Can i have a HDD a SSD m.2 Nvme in dual storage? Will you have a problem with PCIe lines?

[@velimirbiosic2072]

Helpful video. I have my MSI CX640 for 8 years now, working every day min 16 hours. Reason why it is still working is because I clean the fan regularly so I keep it nice and cooled. The reason why I can do it so regularly is because you remove the back lid with 5 screws and everything is accessible! Best laptop I ever had! So I always watch how easy is to open a laptop and get to the fan. VERY IMPORTANT! Thanx again!

[@Mr.Firebrand]

Can I change the processor of this laptop?

[@alexkrass1203]

So i can change video card?

[@waynemariette682]

There is no provision for regular hard drive upgrade or addition. only m.2. Am i wrong?

[@swam3912]

Very good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@gerollacc]

Thank you for this video? Before I disassemble mine: how do you reattach the rubber lines?

[@dustymauve]

They've got a sticky backing on them, set them to one side, sticky side up, and they'll stick back on just fine.

[@user-eu5ol7mx8y]

Does it void warranty?

[@erickoliveira4363]

my question is, does this notebook has a mini pci express?

[@AmanpreetSingh-vl4ok]

Instead of playing music in video, giving info makes sense, atleast talk about the upgradable options

[@lycianrosa4350]

Faltou trazer as especificações e a capacidade máxima das memórias

[@trevorcanderson]

HP Quickspecs and Data Sheet for the 250 G7 are confusing on whether the shipping memory is upgradable or not... certain spec listings seem to indicate it has Two SODIMM slots and can support a maximum of 16 GB SDRAM. The model I'm looking at buying 12 units ships with 8 GB ... it'd be nice to know if I can indeed double it to 16 GB as HP Quickspecs document indicates "customer non-accessible / non-upgradeable".

[@RodrigoPLSantos]

Acredito que não é recomendado o upgrade por clientes justamente pela dificuldade em se desmontar esse notebook. Indo totalmente contra os padrões do mercado como DELL, Lenovo, Acer onde você possui aberturas específicas para fazer upgrades de memória e HDs.

[@Losquepasaremoselsemestre]

2:08 ¿Es la memoria SSD M2? 👀

[@mandrael]

It looks like there is enough space for a second ssd on the left side. Isn’t there an option to upgrade!?

[@SuperSerNiko97]

Looks like the SATA connector is missing but you can solder one in place and should be able to go.

[@dimabyteflow]

SAVE RUBBER! To save rubber, you can use dryer to warm up this place. And rubber will not broken like in my one.

Hello, I have the NOTEBOOK HP 250 G7 153B9LT 15.6 / I5-1035G1 / 4 / 1TB / DOS. And I want to add 8gb of RAM to it. That is, it already has 4gb to DDR4-2666 and I want to add another 8gb DDR4-2666 module, in total 12gb. The technical question is the following: Is this 12gb combination (4gb DDR4-2666 + 8gb DDR4-2666) going to work at the speed of 2666 or 2400? Because someone told me that this configuration of 4 + 8 in this notebook works at 2400 but if I put 8 + 8 it works at 2600. Could you confirm how fast the 4gb 2666 + 8gb 2666 combination works? 2666 or 2400? Thank you, I await your reply.

[@Germanicea]

So when you mix and match ram, the computer will down clock the faster ram to the same speed as the slower one to ensure compatibility. Hope that helps.

[@churchilanand4907]

M.2 NVME or SATA ?

[@liamhill6659]

Hi. Where do you get the tools for this?

[@cdbtheclaw]

iFixit normally has everything you could need for hardware disassembly.

[@Peter-vz6vp]

Nice video. Also i have a question. Mine is 3.5 years old and has some small cracks around the hinge and in the screw at the center near the trackpad. Also its ethernet port doesnt work because i broke it. Is it still safe to open or could anything go wrong?

[@JamalTyronus]

i opened it no probelm and the hinge was shattered already, ethnernet port snapped, and bezels are coming off

[@Peter-vz6vp]

@@JamalTyronus good for you mine has a busted charging port and its not charging

[@assilyounes6044]

there is no graphics card slot where as lenovo in idea pad 330s has nut in a cheaper price

[@doomdylan]

Thanks for the video, but shame for the motherboard. HDD bay without SATA socket. Damn HP!

[@norbertnedsworth7172]

My thoughts entirely. Looking like the Vostro 3580 for me

[@MrTimjm009]

shit , I have hdd but there is no socket for ssd . they didn't weld a socket on the motherboard ! I only have 1 slot for memory . I can upgrade that to a point . You would think they would at least have it ready for a ssd for future upgrade ???

[@hamzadursun4066]

Is there m2 ssd in all models??

[@hamzadursun4066]

just for hp 250 g7 models

[@haselu2002]

Does it have SATA HDD slot?

[@franciscoguanipa9063]

mine does have, but doesnt have for ssd m2

[@mr.alfaromeo2350]

Is it possible to Upgrade the CPU?

[@SimonLedoux]

This is a laptop, no a desktop

[@carlosrocca4763]

can I add a SSD M2 drive?

[@dimabyteflow]

There is only 1 slot for this option you can change or install a new one.

[@TheDoctorX94]

Hi! Did you manage to do this upgrades?

[@cavecaven]

Top 👍

[@jaydee798]

Where's the CMOS battery in these please, as I need to clear the bios password.

[@intestinal47]

just disconnect the internal battery and wait a while. Surprise! there no button cell :(

[@jaydee798]

@@intestinal47 yh, i figured out there was no cell battery yesterday after stripping it, lol I didn't think to leave the main out as I wanted to reassemble before I lost bits. It's a 2nd user machine with passworded win10 os, and the bios has admin lock too :(

[@jaydee798]

@@intestinal47 just left it out for an hour, but still asking for admin password to access bios ☹

[@intestinal47]

@@jaydee798 Maybe your variant has CR2032. Mine doesn't. Did you try disasembling it and locating te RTC battery to remove it?

[@jaydee798]

@@intestinal47 totally stripped it, no cr2032... Message appeared to say bios settings had been reset, but unfortunately still asks for admin password

[@spitefulwar]

Seeing this I know I will never trade my Elitebook for one of these. Sadly my boss likes to sell these units. :(

[@intestinal47]

Always ac connected user here. If no button cell you cannot take off the battery because of the bios reset. I wont to buy a new battery every 15 passed months if its charged 24/7 at 100 percent. Sorry HP, no deal.

[@frazercowan4030]

It's annoying how HP intentionally makes their laptops difficult to disassemble.

[@themasimabro7020]

Thank you imma kid so if it weren’t for you I would have broken my laptop ps high school kid

F*** latches. Screw designers who does latches.
