U can't, there is not enough space for an HDD , usually laptops (older ones) have an HDD that is 2.5 inches and uses SATA 3 port (you could replace this one with an faster SSD) Other laptops uses 2,5 inches SSD on the SATA 3 cable (u could replace this one if u want with a bigger HDD) This laptop uses NVMe SSD (wich is a different port from SATA), so u can upgrade only with a NVMe SSD
@@randomone649 according to manual also your laptop on your video it has support for hdd/ssd 2.5 model with battery 38wh it have support but they need a fakin flat cable not included in laptop to connect the ssd/hdd 2.5 i just order one in aliexpress i hope it will work
I thought I'd add - there definitely *is* space for a 2.5" hdd/ssd, and a connector to go with it (source, I've just taken the back off my V15 G3-IAP, and it's there). it fits in that white panel to the lower left
What type of DDR4 is it? Is obviously not a normal one because those ones are wider, but is it SODIMM , LPDDR4, or LPDDR4x Can I upgrade it to a 16 GB one?
Hi i recently bought the V15 gen 3 with bigger 45Whr battery, i want to know if the battery has eaten up the SATA slot space, can you please confirm if it has additional RAM and SATA slot it?
@@ozmobozo Me too. But most midrange laptops i see have 500GB SSD, hence you'd go through the hassle of shelling out your pocket for bigger storage which i did.
Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. Any standard DDR4 SODIMM will work. DDR4-3200 (sold as "3200MHz") 1Rx8 or 2Rx8 will normally give the best performance, 1Rx16 is slower. There's not much point in posting links, because links are normally only relevant to a few countries and often change. RAM is a commodity, you should be able to find an 8GB 3200MHz 1Rx8 SODIMM easily using google search or in a local PC component or repair shop (if there are any such nearby shops). Just don't buy Registered or ECC RAM (designed for high-end workstation laptops) or a full size DIMM (designed for desktop PCs). XMP RAM would work, but not at XMP speed, and normal 1.2V (JEDEC) DDR4 is usually cheaper. Also any 2242 (re-using the adapter used for the current SSD) or 2280 (removing the adapter) M.2 SSD will work, as long as it doesn't have a built-in heatsink. You can use an external M.2 enclosure to copy files between the old drive and the new one.
@@nathangamble125 I have exactly the same laptop and the same RAM (1Rx16 Samsung, 8GB), but it doesn't start with extra RAM installed, just black screen, working fan, and three leds on keyboard. I've bought one more RAM (1Rx16 Hynix, 8GB) and it doesn't start with it too. Any ideas?
@@vitalii_myt well, the laptop alredy has 8 gb of ram sodered directly to it, and when you add 16 gb of ram , it gose to 24 gb of ram (wich more likely the bios is not capable to read) You should add at maximum a module with 8 gb ram in the slot This is specified in the tehnique documentation of the laptop too 8 gb ram sodered + 8 gb ram sodimm ddr4 3200 = 16 So by adding a 16 gb module instead of 8 it gives u the black screen Usualy any CPU has two chanels for the ram memory On computer most of the motherboards has 2 or 4 slots The ones with two slots has 1 slot for each channel The ones with for slots has 2 slots for each channel So using my logic i can understand that the sodered module is on one of the two chanels for ram the cpu has , and the slot is for the second channel

@LaptopMedia i have 2 questions.
a)does it have another slot for an ssd?
b)does upgrading ram and ssd void warranty?.
Is there any Hdd or 2.5inch ssd ption?
yes
hello where do you put 2.5 hdd in this laptop there is no port

Hey, unfortunately, yes - the larger battery eats up the space of the 2.5-inch SATA slot. However, the rest of the upgrade options are unchanged.
Hi, can you Please tell me your battery model name? I don't need 2,5 bay, and struggle to find bigger battery

You should post links to the upgrade options! I’m having trouble finding parts.

@@nathangamble125 if we add 8GB ram to 4GB soldered, will it be good?

You should add at maximum a module with 8 gb ram in the slot
This is specified in the tehnique documentation of the laptop too
8 gb ram sodered + 8 gb ram sodimm ddr4 3200 = 16
So by adding a 16 gb module instead of 8 it gives u the black screen
Usualy any CPU has two chanels for the ram memory
On computer most of the motherboards has 2 or 4 slots
The ones with two slots has 1 slot for each channel
The ones with for slots has 2 slots for each channel
So using my logic i can understand that the sodered module is on one of the two chanels for ram the cpu has , and the slot is for the second channel
Hello. It's not clear what's the orientation underneath the cover of the lower left part of the video since you did not open it.
I was wondering since the maximum RAM is 12 GB and my same laptop has 4 GB soldered can i add a 8 gbb ram stick or will it make it less efficient
yes you can and more ram is better i don't think it's dual channel so it doesn't matter
You are the best!
