Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3 24 upgrade || how to upgrade SSD & memory in Lenovo AIO 3

[@pablopena9755]

Este equipo es muy bueno, lo malo de los diseñadores es que tuvieron la genial idea de dejar el borde de la pantalla sin protección alguna al momento de abrirlo. Acá en Chile incluso en un servicio técnico especializado partner de Lenovo nos rompieron el LCD. Es buen equipo, pero si piensas hacerle un upgrade en algún momento, no es la mejor opción como marca frente al riesgo de dejarlo inutilizado.

[@duyvu9323]

Opening this is even more annoying than open an actual PC tower (yes, I build PC). Thank you so much for making this video. You are a true hero.

[@suicideshinobis1702]

Is opening ur tower hard ?!!

[@duyvu9323]

Nah, easier than this.

Other than FULLY turning the bottom screw, which does nothing but either hug or push the cover away from the body, here are some instructions I hope you find helpful. Location of attachment points: BOTTOM: Measuring 1 centimeter from the bottom corner along the bottom edge on each side, you will find one plastic hook attached to the back case clipping onto the internal plastic frame. A very thin flat blade screwdriver should release it. Otherwise no other hooks or snags along the bottom. SIDES: This is where the real fun begins. Strangely the back cover has inset attachment points, instead of between the case edge and the screen. 4 U-hook anchor points located at: 1). Horizontally: 1.8cm in from the outside edge, Vertically: 7.8cm up from the bottom outside edge 2). Horizontally: 1.8cm in from the outside edge, Vertically: 14.4cm up from the bottom outside edge 3). Horizontally: 1.8cm in from the outside edge, Vertically: 19.5cm up from the bottom outside edge 4). Horizontally: 1.8cm in from the outside edge, Vertically: 28.8cm up from the bottom outside edge These are the MOST difficult to disengage. Simply running a guitar pick or screwdriver or slidey bar between the edge and screen doesn’t work. In the past, I’ve been too gentle on the edges and like a surgeon separated the screen glass from the screen digitizer ruining the entire PC. My suggestion is to stick a screwdriver or a block of something inside the stand hole, between the cover and the body to keep up the pressure on the back case as you go along. Since there is nothing to release along the visual edges, you have to pull the bottom, slide along the side, relax, pull, slide, relax, technique along the bottom and edges until something eventually gives. Hopefully, it won’t be your patience. Fingernails are sometimes the best weapon. TOP: There are 8 cover plastic nibs spaced evenly along the top edge, 4 to the left and right of the camera slide switch. You might try inserting a very thin guitar pick along that edge. I didn’t because I was too afraid of killing another PC again. Getting the plastic cover away may be tricky. There are no delicate cables to worry about. You might get a string of rubber coming out from between the side edges but you can lightly glue them back, I used a slight brush of Elmers rubber glue. This is the worst case I’ve ever seen for repairs. The attachment points are way too hard and certainly not made to easily open. I would never suggest this PC because the next repair guy might have to buy you a new one out of his own pocket. Good luck friend, you're going to need it. 😄😉

You should always use 2 memory modules (2 channels), it makes the memory twice as fast. Using only 1 SoDIMM is a poor choice. So if you want 16GB, buy and install 2 pcs. 8GB etc.

[@johnashlymata8500]

Can you put 2 16gb?

[@jarnovilen5259]

@@johnashlymata8500 it depends on the exact model but I think it should work on most models.

Twice as fast in your dreams only , maybe up to 20 %

Too late for me, bye LCD

[@jeffb660]

Well, I did it. ...... eventually. 1st time - I tried starting PC, but it would not turn on. (I was pushing on the "black pad", instead of the gold push button on the board.) 2nd time - figured that I needed to close up the case to get it to work.... nope. Button on case was indented too much....did not turn on. 3rd time - played around with the back case push button. Carefully..... It just needed a little coaxing. Now ok. Button was almost flush with the back case. Perfect. 4th time - closed it all up...........and realized that I did not put all the screws in!!!! 5th time - a charm. All worked fine. Just wish I put 2 sticks vs 1 stick on ram. No way opening it again. Notes: 1. Yes, I do have one screw extra. So, just taped to the back of the case. If I ever get back into it, I'll put it in. 2. Each time the process got easier. Mostly because opening the case got easier. Make sure you have a BIG screwdriver to exert a lot of torque... and I mean a LOT of torque. Once it opens, you can then pry open the case...be careful... I used plastic car tools for interior removal.

Hi. Why are you not updating 2x8 GB RAM modules? This is a really fast 128-bit vs 64-bit wide bus.

[@boonsimgoh3427]

you cannot plier the screen part. i just cracked my screen. you can only plier the bottom part, then pull open the back cover form the bottom straight away.

[@TOLMEX79]

Happened to me twice! even with a credit card! DO NOT ATTEMPT

[@jeffb660]

Yes, just work the bottom, start by the screw. I also pried the sides of the case, but I DID use plastic car interior tools. All releasing of the case/screen should be done with the screen down, on the edge of the worktable. Do not push the tool DOWN between the screen and case. Go slow. This is the first time the case is being opened.
