Bro this is the only channel that explained my query on a lg ac and now this. Great job

[@stevenboddy4232]

Bro I am so glad you made these videos. I tried calling HP they wouldn't help me whatsoever. Geek squad, no thanks. Regular computer store said they wanted 50 bucks to show how to do it lol. I'm not a computer guy AT all. I know nothing. Thank you thank you thank you.

This is one of the best videos I have watched on Laptop hardware upgrade.

i have the gtrx 1650 version of this laptop, this is by far the most useful tutorial i have seen, keep it up

Glad the video was helpful. 😊

I good is dor play games ? Like. Mw3?

[@chknman3877]

@@ezequielandrade3100 depends on the games optimization, games like GTA 5 and forza H5 run at ultra settings with 60-90fps consistently, but some games will run at medium settings, i havent tried Mw3 but it would probably be 60fps at medium settings

Thank you! I just successfully installed additional SSD to my empty SATA slot thanks to your video. I have HP Pavilion Gaming 17, but it is similar enough :)

[@dontcallmebrave]

Thanks for the guide! I bought a 15-ec2008ca because of your video and just finished my upgrades, I was initially just checking to see about upgrading the ram but the empty SATA slot sold me lol

[@TechGuyCharlie]

No problem man, glad the video was helpful, although I would have liked to see 2 nvme slots instead of SATA.

[@alberto3790]

this saved my life trying to find suitable parts to upgrade my boyfriends laptop 3 years later.. thank you

[@myg_ho3127]

i literally cannot get the screws out of the external casing that attach it to the motherboard please help, they're so tight and they just keep stripping

[@dsagent]

This is probably one of the best tutorials for upgrading a laptop. No loud music, gets right to the point. Also I did use a flathead and credit card to open the back cause I didn't have any other tools on hand.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Thank you! Glad the video was helpful. 😊

i cant remove the screw that fixes the caddy onto the board. i tried every screwdriver

[@shivanshsingh284]

The "tape" on the ram and nvme drive was a thermal conductor to keep the ram sticks and the drive cool

Thank you 😊

[@MathiasESosa]

Hello, a pleasure, from Argentina I consult you. As you did to change the color of the keyboard, it caught my attention, thanks for the prompt response.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

The color depends on the model of your notebook, some come with green some purple. These laptops don't have multicolor/RGB LEDs so cant change them in the BIOS or in software.

[@csvibes6572]

Thank u so much bro for giving proper explanation and that to in english totally understood everything❤️

[@LightSpirit24]

Your videos are the best. I watched another video describing how to install the Ram in the laptop and he did not go through as much detail he also did not explain the different types of Ram and the different quality of the Ram. Plus they didn't make any mention about upgrading the hard drive. Nor did they mention using the software to find out what kind of Ram and performance of the Ram in their videos.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

I am super glad the video was helpful. 😊

[@kevinoclock]

can you give instruction on how to upgrade the motherboard as well. i have the 15-ay032nx model with AMD Ryzen 5 3550H and nvidia gtx1650 . is there an option where i can upgrade the cpu and gpu ?

[@TechGuyCharlie]

You cant upgrade the motherboard or the CPU/GPU in these, the only option is to buy a new laptop.

[@superhitragini]

Very good video. Time saving 👍👍

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Thank you! 😊

[@coolrob8657]

Is that the max you can put for that HP 32GB RAM? Also what’s the max for the SSD 2T?

[@mecca6801]

thanks for the shopping list!

[@blender_wiki]

Very good video, just notice that the internal orginal NVMe is quite a bad drive. The first few GB you copy the performances are good but then the drop of speed is embarrassing low (apparently once the cache is full) If you plan to use it to copy Video (or other kind of large) files on the road I really suggest that you change also the NVMe for a better model.

[@fidencioflores2680]

upgrade to what? what do you recommend?

[@nicholasnielsen1007]

[@ayomisuryansyah5276]

Shouldn't you disconnect the battery connector first? I'm a beginner, so I'm a little confused about it.

[@carpe_diem_angler]

Only before doing this, it is necessary to disconnect the battery

[@FBI-lj5us]

Can we replace the CPU? Upgrade it maybe? Or change it with a new fresh one?

You make it seem really easy however when I tried to unscrew the hard drive, it was really difficult, almost impossible, I spent over 2 hours trying to unscrew this hard drive, and I am planning on keep trying. It's been over a day, this made me so frustrated that I just wanted to destroy the whole laptop.

[@myg_ho3127]

i've had the exact same issue, did you ever get them out and if so how?

[@renatabalina2720]

@@myg_ho3127 I ended up removing the screws on the sides of the SSD bracket with the screwdriver by pulling them out by force instead of unscrewing them, the SSD bracket inside the laptop bent a little. In the end, I was able to install the new SSD there.

[@myg_ho3127]

@@renatabalina2720 what did you use to pull them out? because i've really tried and they are well and truly in there 😭😭 and im so scared of damaging other internal component

[@vaangavirka]

Bro can i use 2 different brand ram in my laptop ? My laptop have sk hynix 8gb , i need to upgrade one more 8gb Ram ! Thinking about G skill ram

[@TechGuyCharlie]

You can, but there is no guarantee that both will work at their max rated speed, i've seen this issue before, so Its best to use identical RAM from the same manufacturer.

[@zerolovesslipknot]

i think i would be able to actually do this. i’m getting one of these with 1 terabyte already but it only has 8GB of RAM thinking of upgrading when i get it

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Its pretty easy to upgrade!! Make sure to get yourself Dual Rank memory. I would say upgrade to 16GB at least for optimal performance while gaming and 32GB if you are going to edit 4K videos.

Wait so is the big sata ssd the storage for the laptop or the small ssd?
