HP Pavilion G6 Upgrades!! Ram, SSD, CPU, and Battery!

[@JamesDutka]

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!

[@datguykevv2177]

Just asking but is that the fastest cpu for the amd version?

[@JamesDutka]

There was one apu that cost 4-5X as much as the one I bought. Roughly £80-90.

[@schunkschunk2404]

@@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

[@tealbluewhite]

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!!

[@matthewgavin]

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. 😀

[@wwjoshdew]

if it was mine I would of spent the extra to get the i7. definitely love upgradeable stuff. :)

[@rulvra3072]

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!

[@benafedeyim]

does it supports 3rd gen intel cpu's

[@johnmedina4633]

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

[@johnmedina4633]

I finally upgraded my g6 from pentium b950 into intel core i5-2520M..thanks for your video.

[@wwjoshdew]

@@johnmedina4633 that’s so freaking awesome dude!!

[@Theendfromthebeginning]

Wow we've got one of these, and we were gonna trash it, but we're gonna upgrade now. Thanks so much for such a detailed video. You're awesome 😎

[@wwjoshdew]

Awwww shucks. You're awesome too. A new processor, ram, and an SSD. It will be good for a few more years!

[@TheBang911]

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.

[@wwjoshdew]

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.

[@TheBang911]

@@wwjoshdew thanks man. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ll be having your video on stand by and following it step by step 😂

I'm doing my AMD G6 soon, I always max upgrade my machines, I see it as their destiny lol

Much appreciated. I’m a nerd and love sharing my passion with others.

Thanks!

you are very welcome. Sorry that I'm just now replying. :(

[@TommyThousandFaces]

It reminds me of my own old laptop that got upgraded over the years and just made me want to switch because it's heavy af. Loved the usual raw video!

[@wwjoshdew]

upgrades are awesome. repairing things... is awesome.

[@ROOLON_69]

Finally found my own laptop 💻 on internet after years of searching

[@nano-xd8528]

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

[@SeaM4ngo]

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)

[@avelrage]

I got the exact same one, now that I know what to get I'll give a try

[@awgybop1]

Really goes to show how old, slow computers can be resurrected with just a bit of labor. Most sadly become e-waste, though.

[@wwjoshdew]

so true!!!

[@chriskwakernaat2328]

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)

[@johnrenzcaballero4308]

Socketed Laptop rules! Always love that kind of upgrade.

[@siyamkhan]

Sir can you please tell us much dose it cost each and every part?

[@davidbabic6121]

I have the Same computer that was epic to watch!

[@wwjoshdew]

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.

[@davidbabic6121]

@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.

[@itznatilsha9427]

Hey, great video btw. I wanted to ask if the total ram was upgradeable to 16gb i.e 8gb for each slot???

[@wwjoshdew]

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.

[@sooshixd1907]

Great work

[@wwjoshdew]

thanks!

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.
