Upgrade Memory on Dell E6520 Step by Step Tutorial

[@simontemplar3359]

Thanks for the guidance! I learn so much from awesome people who share their knowledge. Thank you! The music was seriously rad too!

[@moccina]

@z00h Yeah, they made a simple design complex-- used to be one door and one screw. I've upgraded about 30 or 40 of these since the video and sure-- you get better at it but if you've never done it before it takes a bit of skill to get the backplate off without damaging the corners.

[@moccina]

@JTKarp Glad I could help ! thx for watching

[@moccina]

@Borisyoch You're right, that is the correct way to do it. I didn't have one on hand. Thanks for watching !

[@adamfrayne182]

Great video. I wonder why they made this model so impossible to upgrade easily, while other latitudes in the past were easy as two screws lol.

[@moccina]

@vertronrussell no prob bob, thx for watching !

[@backupaccount5537]

wow looks so easy...thanks man!

[@z00h]

@moccina why is it difficult? because there's more screws is it? if you think about it for a second, they actually made it easier to maintain. previous ones were a bitch to clean inside.

[@dbiberdorf]

Thanks for the video. It's a bit easier to remove and replace the bottom half of the case if you remove the hard disk (secured by the four *short* screws) and optical drive (push in lever to release it) before pulling it off.

[@moccina]

@dbiberdorf Ah good call, that would make sense. I did fumble around a bit before getting the back plate back on but edited that out of the video of course ;). Thx for watching !

[@jayzaoetchings8475]

Thanks! Worked great on the Lattitude E6330.

[@moccina]

Yeah buddy! :)

[@_thechosen]

@moccina Why you work without anti-static wrist strap?

[@moccina]

@explosivechild I'm not sure what type of screwdriver that is, besides an orange one LOL. Thx for the comment.

[@portall1220]

I know I'm asking on a very old video, but any recommendations on which RAM to buy? I want to upgrade from 8gb to 16gb.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Just wondering if 8 gigs the maximum memory configuration for this laptop, since it only has two memory module slots. 4gigs x 2.

[@moccina]

Right on-- thanks for the info!

[@moccina]

Im not sure. Its possible its 16 max, 2x8 but you would have to google it.

[@bobdc]

I just did this with a Latitude E6320. The screw layout on the bottom was slightly different, and the slots for the RAM were more in the middle of the computer, but this video was still a great help in showing me what to do. To @scottwilkins: crucial.com is much cheaper than RAM from Dell. This was the second Dell I upgrade with crucial.com RAM.

[@JohnKarpowicz030161]

Thanks for the video .... Very helpful.

[@jtayl36]

@Borisyoch Have actually never used one of those. I've always built my computers on a carpeted floor without using them. As long as you touch something metal to discharge before touching the electronics, you're good.

[@explosivechild]

Thanks for the helpful video...Please tell me that is not a Riverbed screwdriver so I know I haven't become a complete IT nerd.....If I recognized that, there's no hope for me.

[@tonyskwan]

Thanks. This was very helpful.

[@BenjaminRLaurence]

Thanks from Canada

[@omoniyiabiolab]

many many thanks for this video!

[@moccina]

@adamfrayne182 you nailed it right on the head--- see my channel for the unboxing / review of the E6520. They absolutely made it 10x more difficult to change memory than prior models. Thanks for watching !

[@MattMcMillan]

Thanks for the video!

[@jenhasenauer3357]

thanks for the vid and in case anyone is interested i just put 16Gb crucial (CT2KIT102464BF1339) into my e6520 with Intel i7-2620M and it's all recognised and flying. If your in Australia you can get this from ramcity

[@adorasomestudiodigitaleesc8004]
