@@gazemyshoes Thx for subscription. One of subscribers has confirmed that 16GB (2x8) is supported. Biggest improvement you will get from ssd. For daily stuff 8GB will be enough, just buy another 4GB stick and fast ssd Upgrade CPU to something like i5-2450M 25$ on aliexpress.
thanks for putting up this video, really appreciate it, I've been in IT for 25 yrs but I like to research information before I go taking electronics apart :) and for the record Samsung support is hopeless for anyone wanting to call or chat with them.

Here is link for all Intel HM65 Express chipset supported CPU's www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/HM65_Express.html Just enable socket G2 filter (on the right) and do not exceed 35W TDP ( it depends on BIOS what max CPU's will support this notebook, it's try and fail method).

Good idea, maybe I'll do that when will have free time :) Basically, if you need a 1:1 clone, you can use the auto settings of Acronis.

Officially your laptop supports 8GB, unofficially 16GB. What's the chipset on your laptop?

SSD will decrease your loading times, it won't help if you are lacking processing power. I think it's time to upgrade to the new laptop. Subscribe, thank you :)
buy an i3-2350m, i3-2370m processor, RAM should be 6-8GB DDR3-1333. After that, it makes sense to install an SSD 240-256GB sata 2.5 "TLC - a larger ssd is not needed. A lot of information can be stored in cloud storage. Celeron is very weak for our time.
Oh, it was so long time ago. I remember that I upgraded straight from win7, so it should be in legacy mode. I'm even not sure, does this laptop has UEFI. Subscribe, thank you :)
Oh, I see. Probably USB is created for BIOS (MBR) and not the UEFI (GPT). You need to make bootable media with the app -"rufus" and choose partition scheme GPT and target system non-CSM. Or do an upgrade from 7 to10, after that convert your system HDD from MBR to GPT disk without data loss (check youtube there is a bunch of videos on how to do that from command line), and switch in bios to UEFI. Sometimes you need to reboot the laptop twice as a USB stick may not be initialized fast enough. Hope this will help.
You can use any ddr3L (just make sure that it is with L letter L=low voltage 1.35V) If it will bee faster than your old ram, then ram will run at slowest stick speeds. I beliewe that max capacity for one slot is 8GB. So if you need one 4GB stick you can use somthink like eu.crucial.com/eur/en/np300e5a-a05us/CT3509205 Don't forget to sub thx :)

Hey there, I have an NP300E7A. It came with an amd A6 which I switched to an A8. I also went fron 4 to 8GB ram. I was having issues with BSD and they still persist, I'm thinking that swapping to SSD should alleviate my issues as I'm getting no fault in non paged area errors and other random errors that lead to restarts. Figured I might as well max out at 16GB ram. Thoughts? Do you think it's gonna fix my Blue screen of death errors. Also if its the HDD causing the errors, if I clone it to the SSD, can I potentially transfer my issues? ( corrupt non deletable files, etc)
If you had this issue before the upgrade I would suggest you check the old RAM module with memtest86. Or just take the out old RAM stick and check if the issue remains. Then check your HDD SMART status, might be there are issues with HDD. And yes, if you clone os with corrupted files, problems can transfer to the new system, I suggesting install OS from the scratch.

And if you know that it was released with I5 2450M by the manufacturer, then it will be no problem 100% Don't forget to write back, was the upgrade successful, it will help others.

Hello i have an old laptop, also NP300E4A - S0CSA. My current cpu rn is i5 2450m. Is it possible to change the cpu to i7 3740QM? and if possible, can you tell me some cpu that better than this i7 3740QM that works with this unit too?

Technically HM65 can support 3rd gen CPU, but I doubt that there will be microcode in BIOS for those CPUs.

Please make separate video on how to clone disk
Good idea, maybe I'll do that when will have free time :)
Basically, if you need a 1:1 clone, you can use the auto settings of Acronis. It's pretty straightforward, you need to choose the source disk(your old disk) and then the destination disk (new disk).

Also is it possible to upgrade the CPU??
Officially your laptop supports 8GB, unofficially 16GB. What's the chipset on your laptop? CPU upgrade depends on the chipset (southbridge), sometimes they put in the same laptop model cut down chipset. Especially with Celeron and Pentium onboard (HM70). (Check it with cpuz or aida64)

I did a little search and read about the HM70 shutdowns and instead planning to go to the highest processor this laptop can take even though it's not I3 and up. Anything better than the one I have now would make difference. I would love your processor suggestion on that =D

Hey I have same laptop with celeron b815
Do you suggest investing an ssd for the same
SSD will decrease your loading times, it won't help if you are lacking processing power.
I think it's time to upgrade to the new laptop.
Subscribe, thank you :)
buy an i3-2350m, i3-2370m processor, RAM should be 6-8GB DDR3-1333. After that, it makes sense to install an SSD 240-256GB sata 2.5 "TLC - a larger ssd is not needed. A lot of information can be stored in cloud storage. Celeron is very weak for our time.
look at the southbridge in the laptop through the CPU-Z program ("Mainboard" tab) -> HM65? HM70?
How did you install windows 10..? uefi - legacy ?
Oh, it was so long time ago. I remember that I upgraded straight from win7, so it should be in legacy mode. I'm even not sure, does this laptop has UEFI.
Subscribe, thank you :)
@@MindaugasJocionis Yeah..uefi
there is but
i am not install
I can not usb with boot
Oh, I see.
Probably USB is created for BIOS (MBR) and not the UEFI (GPT). You need to make bootable media with the app -"rufus" and choose partition scheme GPT and target system non-CSM.
Or do an upgrade from 7 to10, after that convert your system HDD from MBR to GPT disk without data loss (check youtube there is a bunch of videos on how to do that from command line), and switch in bios to UEFI.
Sometimes you need to reboot the laptop twice as a USB stick may not be initialized fast enough.
Hope this will help.
i have same laptop,i need to upgrade ram
Which ram i should buy ,tell specification please
i have no knowledge about this
You can use any ddr3L (just make sure that it is with L letter L=low voltage 1.35V) If it will bee faster than your old ram, then ram will run at slowest stick speeds. I beliewe that max capacity for one slot is 8GB. So if you need one 4GB stick you can use somthink like eu.crucial.com/eur/en/np300e5a-a05us/CT3509205

I would like to replace the hard drive with an ssd on a np300e5c-a05it. What do you recommend? And how would it install? I saw how to remove the hard drive, but for the ssd?
Buy an external USB 2.5" HDD enclosure, clone your old HDD data to SSD (with Acronis ), or install windows from scratch. Replace the old HDD with SSD. That's it. Check affiliate links in the video description. Subscribe, thank you :)
Just changed the HDD. It made a humongous difference. About 30 seconds to turn on and boot windows. Previously it was 7 minutes. Plus, all the programs load so fast
Cool, what ssd did you purchased?
@@MindaugasJocionis The Kingston A400 with 480gb of space. My previous HDD was 500gb and the storage space was enough plus a 1tb SSD was a little out of budget.

I have Samsung NP300E5C-A04IN... It's screen is flickering and hard disk is making ticking sound... What should i do?
Should i replace my screen and also replace my old HDD to new 500 gb WD Ssd?
Subscribed. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thx for sub. In the first place check cable that comes from motherboard to screen it might be damaged, check the place on the hinge where it moves most. If the screen starts to flicker when you move the cable, then it's cable fault. Just after this, I consider changing the screen. It might be inverter or backlight. If HDD clicks, backup your data and upgrade HDD to any 2.5" SATA SSD you like.

I have the version E5X and the ssd support speed 500mb But the laptop does not read more than 250mb 😢
It probably only supports SATA 2 mode (check with aida64 soft. etc.) still reading small files on an SSD is significantly faster than on an HDD even on SATA2. Your laptop should feel way snappier.

As for LCD flickering - connect an external monitor. If the flickering remains (on the external monitor) it is caused by GPU (or GPU VRAM). If flickering disappears, it's a worn display cable or bad inverter, or a bad backlight itself.

You need to install Acronis first and clone your HDD to SSD. Or make a bootable USB stick with Acronis (anyway for once you will need to install somewhere acronis to make that bootable USB media), then you will boot from that stick and clone your disk no matter where it is.

Hey there,
I have an NP300E7A. It came with an amd A6 which I switched to an A8. I also went fron 4 to 8GB ram. I was having issues with BSD and they still persist, I'm thinking that swapping to SSD should alleviate my issues as I'm getting no fault in non paged area errors and other random errors that lead to restarts. Figured I might as well max out at 16GB ram. Thoughts? Do you think it's gonna fix my Blue screen of death errors. Also if its the HDD causing the errors, if I clone it to the SSD, can I potentially transfer my issues? ( corrupt non deletable files, etc)
If you had this issue before the upgrade I would suggest you check the old RAM module with memtest86. Or just take the out old RAM stick and check if the issue remains. Then check your HDD SMART status, might be there are issues with HDD.
And yes, if you clone os with corrupted files, problems can transfer to the new system, I suggesting install OS from the scratch.

You can check your laptop config in bios, or with software like "aida64". From manufacturer they all come with HDD. You can try to upgrade CPU to i5-2450M they are cheap on ali express. And max RAM is 16GB (2x8). Before upgrading check for bios updates on manufacturer site, and upgrade if there is any.
