You can just use a wet-wipe to get rid of any old paste, i have never caused damage doing that way. Just make sure that it is completely dry before reassembling
I appreciate your editing skills. Are these great laptops? I have one of these as well. The computer has a lot of sentimental value. My sister gave it to me. Unfortunately she has since past away. Would you recommend doing what you did here? Thank you
This laptop isn't the best out there, it was mid-low range when it released so today its a bit underperforming. However, it is still a great laptop for web browsing, watching videos, writing documents and playing some games on low settings. I would definitely recommend upgrading the ram to 8gb, reapply the thermal paste and switch the hard drive with an SSD. Removing the dust and cleaning the fan would also be a good idea. If you don't want to risk breaking something, you could pass the thermal paste replacement. This upgrade should make the laptop last at least 1 to 2 more years before needing to get something better. Sorry for your loss.
@@YoussGm thank you my friend I appreciate that. If I go through this video fully again can I find what I can use to upgrade this one? I won't be using it for anything crazy just basic stuff really. Maybe some stock and crypto trading along with RUclips
You should be able to find all you need on Aliexpress, Facebook marketplace or on ebay. It should be pretty easy to upgrade following the video. For the ram, make sure to get it at 1.35V , not 1.5V for it to work. An ssd is also really helpful in increasing the laptop speed.
I have the same laptop and it has been around 8 years now and the laptop is still in a really good condition. I play valorant and it heats up definitely but also it gets the basic job done really well. I upgraded the ram to 8 GB.
Hola , fantástico el tutorial !!! se puede reemplazar el hdd por un ssd? Y en el lugar de la lectora de dvd se puede reemplazar por otro disco ? gracias
Sí, puede reemplazar el HDD con un SATA SSD 2.5 ". También puede reemplazar la unidad de disco con otro SDD pero es complicado. Encontré este tutorial sobre cómo hacerlo: ruclips.net/video/H09SEyoE8yY/видео.html (Google translate)
Very helpful video brother! We have the same laptop, I want to upgrade my laptop for gaming purposes. What are your recommendations for the parts brother?
For gaming purposes, I would really recommend upgrading your ram and changing to an SSD. You can also replace the thermal paste if you notice that your laptop gets hot. The SSD will help you load games faster and textures will load faster. Ram will allow you to run stuff smoothly. You should pick another 4gb ddr3 stick at 1.35volts and same speed as the one you have so you can run at dual channel. I recommend corsair, but anything is fine really.
With 16gb ram you now have 20gb ram in your laptop? So 4gb + 16 gb? If yes, that means you're not running in dual channel sadly but it's ok. To increase performance, I debloated my windows by deleting everything I don’t need and disabling some background services. I also downloaded "Throttlestop" and undervolted the cpu to make the temperatures better. Finally, I downloaded process lasso and for valorant I set the application "Valorant Win Shipping 64" to :cpu priority high" and "induce performance mode". You can find tutorials for all three steps on youtube.
Hi, I have the exact same laptop (Lenovo G50-70). I'd like to know if 2xDual Rank 8GB DDR3L 1600MHZ RAM would be compatible with this laptop? I'm planning on upgrading mine to 16GB. Thank you for this very helpful video.

I replied to your other comment that asked the same thing: If you want to swap the motherboard with one that has a gpu it should fit, you would need to buy a new heatsink radiator though because it's not the same for the one with gpu and the one without.

It's nearly impossible to upgrade the cpu and gpu of this laptop. They are both soldered on the motherboard. The only way would be to buy a new motherboard that has the better hardware and completely replace the old one. It's not worth it.
One more question, do i have to disassemble everything in order to also clean the motherboard, fan and put some thermal paste. If there is an easier way it would be much appreciated
You can clean the fan and the bottom of the motherboard without disassembling everything but for the thermal paste you do because the motherboard is upside down in the laptop so to access the cpu and gpu you need to take it off.
@@YoussGm ohh okayy i see now, that's why. I wouldn't get into the trouble to disassemble the whole laptop but it's already 6 years old, and i am having small lags when in use for a few hours, or playing games for a while.

Hi! I have i7 4th gen g50-70. What upgrade should i buy for ssd and ram? My current is a 4gb and 1tb hdd. Can you tell me whats spec will be priority to look for? I will upgrade it for 2x 8gb ram.
Hello! I would recommend replacing the thermal paste as well since its probably dry as a rock with that i7. As for what to look for, ram is probably your first priority to stop stuttering and lag.

I have ssd. And already clean install the windows 10 home edition. They say its good for gaming. Yeah i will upgrade my ram to 2x 8gb 12800s 1600mhz 1.35V. Anyway. After installing windows 10, is there any app or program that i should install for updating my drivers?
I have the same laptop all is good only the disappointment is the cpu is fixed with the motherboard and it can't be replaced (( i though to upgrade it to i7 but not possible.
Sadly, I believe the wificard is whitelisted on this model of laptop so replacing just the card alone won't make it work. You would have to mod your bios to disable the whitelist and that has some risks with it. Edit: last post on this forum seems to have a wificard that works, no guarantees tho. forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/Lenovo-G50-70-Laptop-s-Wifi-Card-Upgrade-From-2-4Ghz-To-5Ghz/m-p/5078420
@@mikeypeters7003 I have the same laptop, you can flash a custom BIOS that removes the Wi-fi card whitelist, I followed this guide ruclips.net/video/BItGfpyyHnI/видео.html , after everything is done I installed an Intel AX200 Wi-Fi card and speeds are INCREDIBLE.
If you want to swap the motherboard with one that has a gpu, you would need to buy a new heatsink radiator because the one without gpu only cools the cpu. Other than that, it should be possible. I'm not sure though, maybe lenovo has made hardware blocks so it doesn't work.
I put the HDD in the external enclosure, I can use the HDD. But once I put it in the caddy, it is not recognized at all. But i tried caddy in other laptop it's working.
If it's not opening but turning, then something's wrong and the screw hole is ruined. If it's not opening and not turning, then you just need more elbow grease. Make sure you put pressure directly onto the screw, not sideways, and use an appropriately sized screwdriver tip. Also righty tighty lefty loosey. Make sure not to poke a hole through the mobo!
My Lenovo g50-70 laptop specs 1. I7 4500u 4th generation 1.80ghz 2. 2401mhz 3. Model number 20351 4. 4GB ram, 425GB "C" Drive & 25GB "D" Drive Hey, technician. May I know that? Do it will make any hurdles if I convert 4GB ram to 8GB or 16GB ram, and replace the hard disk(425GB) with SSD 128gb or 240GB. And also, please reply which scenario is best for the upgrade either I should proceed with 8GB Ram and 128GB ssd or 16GB ram and 240 GB SSD
I recommend 8gb ram and 240Gb SSD. If you plan on doing video editing, gaming or want to have more applications open at the same time go for 16gb ram or 12gb. 128gb ssd isn't enough storage, I wouldn't recommend it. When you're buying the ram, make sure it is 1.35V not 1.5V because the laptop has low power dimms. Also make sure the ssd you buy is 2.5" or the same physical size of your HDD so it can fit. Also buy the same mhz of ram because it's the maximum of the system. If you want to transfer the files from your hdd to ssd you can use a sata to USB cable and copy all the files using a program called "Disk Clone" Ask any other questions if you need.
Hello, it is technically possible but you may run into problems. The laptop might have a wifi whitelist so it would only work with certain models.

Hello, I had the same type of problem, I tried to take the ram from my old hp laptop and put it in Lenovo G50-70 but it didn't work. The problem for me was the voltage. The new laptop takes 1.35V ram and old one takes 1.5V. So if you put the old ram in the new laptop it won't work. I don’t know of its the same problem but check the voltage of the old ram and if it's 1.5V it doesn't work.
i would like to request a video upgrading a graphics card and ram on desktop pc if you dont have these what i am about to list then you dont have to do it desktop pc graphics card and ram if you dont have those then you dont have to make the video

Hey quick question tho, btw good day Mr. YoussGm, so basically what im asking is i have here my lenovo g50 80 and it has socket 1168 on-it so basically it shows alot of processors (that possibly fit on the socket) my question is, can i upgrade my lenovo g50 80 with i3 to i5 or i7 whatever? Just want to upgrade my laptop tho 🥹
The cpu is soldered on the motherboard so it isnt possible to upgrade the cpu unless you have some specialized equipment. The cpu is glued on with metal, so its basically one piece with the socket. You would have to heat it up until the metal melts and then have a special template to add new solder to the new cpu.
Lenovo z50-70 is compatible with HP S3 500 GB SSD 7mm and Western Digital 500GB 2.5? I would like to know because I read that some users of this laptop say that when they put new SSD 2.5, the laptop don't recognize it
I have no guarantee that it will work but it should support any 2.5/7mm SATA drive or ssd. If It's not recognized, it's probably user error or a software issue.
You can't change the cpu on this laptop, it is soldered onto the motherboard. Even if you unsolder it, the cpu socket is not the same because intel and amd use different sockets. If you want to change the cpu, you're gonna have to engineer your own motherboard as I don't believe this laptop model comes with an amd cpu. Practically impossible.
You can't just replace the cable that connects the keyboard and motherboard. If it breaks, you're gonna have to buy a replacement keyboard. You can buy a replacement easily on Amazon, it costs from 10$ to 30$.

my device is z50_70 i5 In Normal work the cpu and gpu Temp, between 50° until 60° and when im gaming, Temp on 75° so i should change the Silicon or not
Changing the thermal paste when the temperature is lower than 90⁰ is not really worth it. Performance is going to be the same and you won't gain much from it. 75C is perfectly fine but if you want to make it lower, try undervolting the cpu with ThrottleStop, a really useful program.
hi, could you help me with my graphics card problem, i have the same laptop as your lenovo g50-70 with i3-4005u and integrated intel graphics, the problem is that my amd radeon r5 m230 graphics card is not working at all. The amd graphics card has code 45 and windows cannot install its driver at all. I have already changed the thermal paste on both the cpu and gpu, do you perhaps know a solution, thank yo
I never saw this error code before but after searching on google and since it is a driver problem, you can try these two tutorials. m.ruclips.net/video/WW-I4CtEVI0/видео.html The first one is more simple so it might not work but you should try m.ruclips.net/video/bP-2B14Nckw/видео.html This second one uses ddu so it completely deletes the old driver and reinstalls it onto the gpu, make sure to follow all the instructions and read the first comment telling you to close the wifi. Goodluck!
@@YoussGm I already used ddu, deleted the graphics driver, but nothing, nothing happens, even the bios does not recognize the graphics. In the device manager, it appears as "video controller", but windows cannot install its driver at all.
Try to update windows. So you are telling me everything was working fine before you changed the thermal paste? If yes, then maybe you screwed the heatsink on too tight or too loose, or maybe something broke.

In total your laptop is off how much ram now and how much ram is of before upgrading
4GB(upgraded) + ___gb? =
Before it was only 4gb ram, with the upgrade it is 8gb.
You can just use a wet-wipe to get rid of any old paste, i have never caused damage doing that way. Just make sure that it is completely dry before reassembling
Using wet-wipes could work but I'm worried that it would leave residue that could damage the components. Just using alcohol is safer.

I have ssd. And already clean install the windows 10 home edition. They say its good for gaming. Yeah i will upgrade my ram to 2x 8gb 12800s 1600mhz 1.35V.
Anyway. After installing windows 10, is there any app or program that i should install for updating my drivers?
And thank you for your fast reply sir!
You shouldn’t need any drivers for new ram or ssd, windows will detect them and do it itself.
@@YoussGm alright! Thank you so much! What will you also recommend to make this machine faster? Thank you so much
Hi mate.
I have a Lenovo G50-70 and wanted to know if the CPU/GPU is integrated or if it can be upgraded.
Thanks
The cpu and gpu are both soldered onto the motherboard so you can't upgrade them unless you have special tools.
I have the same laptop all is good only the disappointment is the cpu is fixed with the motherboard and it can't be replaced (( i though to upgrade it to i7 but not possible.
Nice video, could you tell me iif the lan card be replaced to have dual ban wifi, not just 2.4 if so what card would i look for? Thank you.
Sadly, I believe the wificard is whitelisted on this model of laptop so replacing just the card alone won't make it work.
You would have to mod your bios to disable the whitelist and that has some risks with it.
Edit: last post on this forum seems to have a wificard that works, no guarantees tho. forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/Lenovo-G50-70-Laptop-s-Wifi-Card-Upgrade-From-2-4Ghz-To-5Ghz/m-p/5078420
Thank you for the reply. That is a shame. So not as simple as replacing the card and new drivers then.
At least I know not to keep looking.
Take care.
@@mikeypeters7003 I have the same laptop, you can flash a custom BIOS that removes the Wi-fi card whitelist, I followed this guide ruclips.net/video/BItGfpyyHnI/видео.html , after everything is done I installed an Intel AX200 Wi-Fi card and speeds are INCREDIBLE.
Thanks!❤👌
You're welcome! If you need any help feel free to ask!
@@YoussGm Oh! OK, Thanks❤❤❤
Hi this leptop leads and ssd
I dont get what you're trying to say but, you can put an ssd in this laptop of that's what you are asking.
NICE
Very nice
Oh also I have a G50-45 A6 without gpu can I swap out one with gpu would the heatsink radiator fit ok,again thanks
If you want to swap the motherboard with one that has a gpu, you would need to buy a new heatsink radiator because the one without gpu only cools the cpu.
Other than that, it should be possible. I'm not sure though, maybe lenovo has made hardware blocks so it doesn't work.
Great video ssd drive on order
I put the HDD in the external enclosure, I can use the HDD. But once I put it in the caddy, it is not recognized at all. But i tried caddy in other laptop it's working.
I'm not sure how to fix this problem, you will have to look for tutorials on youtube and solutions on google.
Goodluck
4 screws of gpu not opening any solution?
If it's not opening but turning, then something's wrong and the screw hole is ruined.
If it's not opening and not turning, then you just need more elbow grease. Make sure you put pressure directly onto the screw, not sideways, and use an appropriately sized screwdriver tip. Also righty tighty lefty loosey.
Make sure not to poke a hole through the mobo!
My Lenovo g50-70 laptop specs
1. I7 4500u 4th generation 1.80ghz
2. 2401mhz
3. Model number 20351
4. 4GB ram, 425GB "C" Drive & 25GB "D" Drive
Hey, technician. May I know that? Do it will make any hurdles if I convert 4GB ram to 8GB or 16GB ram, and replace the hard disk(425GB) with SSD 128gb or 240GB.
And also, please reply which scenario is best for the upgrade either I should proceed with 8GB Ram and 128GB ssd or 16GB ram and 240 GB SSD
I recommend 8gb ram and 240Gb SSD. If you plan on doing video editing, gaming or want to have more applications open at the same time go for 16gb ram or 12gb.
128gb ssd isn't enough storage, I wouldn't recommend it.
When you're buying the ram, make sure it is 1.35V not 1.5V because the laptop has low power dimms.
Also make sure the ssd you buy is 2.5" or the same physical size of your HDD so it can fit. Also buy the same mhz of ram because it's the maximum of the system.
If you want to transfer the files from your hdd to ssd you can use a sata to USB cable and copy all the files using a program called "Disk Clone"
Ask any other questions if you need.

I want to upgrade my WiFi card. Is it possible to upgrade to dualband?
Hello, it is technically possible but you may run into problems. The laptop might have a wifi whitelist so it would only work with certain models.
You can check this forum that has info about your question: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/Lenovo-G50-70-Laptop-s-Wifi-Card-Upgrade-From-2-4Ghz-To-5Ghz/m-p/5078420

Yes it should be mostly the same, some components might be in different places but the process is the same.
16gb ram could work??
Yes, the maximum total memory is 16 gb, so 2×8gb sticks.

Lenovo G50-80 Model 80LO
Hello, I had the same type of problem, I tried to take the ram from my old hp laptop and put it in Lenovo G50-70 but it didn't work.
The problem for me was the voltage.
The new laptop takes 1.35V ram and old one takes 1.5V. So if you put the old ram in the new laptop it won't work.
I don’t know of its the same problem but check the voltage of the old ram and if it's 1.5V it doesn't work.
i would like to request a video upgrading a graphics card and ram on desktop pc if you dont have these what i am about to list then you dont have to do it desktop pc graphics card and ram if you dont have those then you dont have to make the video
Sadly, i don't have a desktop pc. However, there are many already existing tutorials on youtube that you could easily find.
nah i just wanted to request so you can help other people that are subbed to you
From where did u get the parts
I got the ram, thermal pads, thermal paste and screwdriver kit from aliexpress. Took a while to arrive so only buy from aliexpress if the deals are good.
You can always get used ram from ebay or facebook marketplace.

Hey quick question tho, btw good day Mr. YoussGm, so basically what im asking is i have here my lenovo g50 80 and it has socket 1168 on-it so basically it shows alot of processors (that possibly fit on the socket) my question is, can i upgrade my lenovo g50 80 with i3 to i5 or i7 whatever? Just want to upgrade my laptop tho 🥹
The cpu is soldered on the motherboard so it isnt possible to upgrade the cpu unless you have some specialized equipment.
The cpu is glued on with metal, so its basically one piece with the socket. You would have to heat it up until the metal melts and then have a special template to add new solder to the new cpu.
Lenovo z50-70 is compatible with HP S3 500 GB SSD 7mm and Western Digital 500GB 2.5? I would like to know because I read that some users of this laptop say that when they put new SSD 2.5, the laptop don't recognize it
I have no guarantee that it will work but it should support any 2.5/7mm SATA drive or ssd. If It's not recognized, it's probably user error or a software issue.
Can I change cpu to vega 11 ryzen 5?
You can't change the cpu on this laptop, it is soldered onto the motherboard. Even if you unsolder it, the cpu socket is not the same because intel and amd use different sockets.
If you want to change the cpu, you're gonna have to engineer your own motherboard as I don't believe this laptop model comes with an amd cpu.
Practically impossible.
Sir how much cost is that blue strips that connects the motherboard and keyboard
You can't just replace the cable that connects the keyboard and motherboard. If it breaks, you're gonna have to buy a replacement keyboard. You can buy a replacement easily on Amazon, it costs from 10$ to 30$.

In this laptop any pcie slot
There is the pcie M.2 slot for the Wi-Fi card but I don't think other cards will work in it.
my device is z50_70 i5
In Normal work the cpu and gpu Temp, between 50° until 60°
and when im gaming, Temp on 75°
so i should change the Silicon or not
Changing the thermal paste when the temperature is lower than 90⁰ is not really worth it. Performance is going to be the same and you won't gain much from it.
75C is perfectly fine but if you want to make it lower, try undervolting the cpu with ThrottleStop, a really useful program.
@@YoussGm Thanks for the good explanation brother
have a good time

hi, could you help me with my graphics card problem, i have the same laptop as your lenovo g50-70 with i3-4005u and integrated intel graphics, the problem is that my amd radeon r5 m230 graphics card is not working at all. The amd graphics card has code 45 and windows cannot install its driver at all. I have already changed the thermal paste on both the cpu and gpu, do you perhaps know a solution, thank yo
I never saw this error code before but after searching on google and since it is a driver problem, you can try these two tutorials.
m.ruclips.net/video/WW-I4CtEVI0/видео.html
The first one is more simple so it might not work but you should try
m.ruclips.net/video/bP-2B14Nckw/видео.html
This second one uses ddu so it completely deletes the old driver and reinstalls it onto the gpu, make sure to follow all the instructions and read the first comment telling you to close the wifi.
Goodluck!
@@YoussGm I already used ddu, deleted the graphics driver, but nothing, nothing happens, even the bios does not recognize the graphics. In the device manager, it appears as "video controller", but windows cannot install its driver at all.
Try to update windows.
So you are telling me everything was working fine before you changed the thermal paste?
If yes, then maybe you screwed the heatsink on too tight or too loose, or maybe something broke.
I don't know anything else that could help you, something happened while you replaced the thermal paste.
You can try this, i really dont know: www.makeuseof.com/windows-device-manager-error-45-fix/
@@YoussGmbefore I replaced the thermal paste it didn't work even then, I had windows 8.1 that came with the laptop, the graphics card had code 43 and it didn't work properly, when I tried to start a game, it would always say "graphics driver has stopped working and has succesfully restored" (I didn't write it exactly, but it was something like that) it would appear only 1 time and the screen would only be black, the graphics card had its temperature, but it didn't work. i was able to run a game with it once, however the processor was running at 100% it seems the cpu bootlenecked the graphics card...
I switched to windows 10, but everything got worse, the graphic card suddenly got code 45, then 43, code 28, code 31... now windows sees it as "video controller" and I can't download the driver for it
Try downloading these legacy drivers, if it doesnt work, i dont gave anything else that could help you, sorry.
