I actually learned something useful from this. Thanks.
105/5000
Excellent video. I have my t420 since July 2012, one of my best purchases. Greetings from Argentina!
Boca el más grande siempre!
Disculpa amigo hiciste ese upgrade? que tal te funcionó? Pienso en comprar todo para mejorar el rendimiento de la mia.
@@sebastiangiraldopinzon8300 si, compra todo y hacelo, vale la pena actualizar la notebook! 💪🏻
Amigo como andas? te hago una consulta, me llego una como esta pero la version T410i, y el SSD que trae, el MSata, la pc no me lo detecta.. como podría saber si es un problema del disco o del conector?
@@imanolfernandez6238 hola! Se me ocurre probar el MSata con un adaptador MSata a USB en otro equipo y descartas que sea ese disco. Estos adaptadores no son caros y ayudan mucho para descartar problemas de este tipo.
hi thats interesting guide to upgrade my t420. thanks for this guide
Nice music. I didn't finish watching video cause I started dancing🕺
T420 is an excellent laptop
Great job, I have one of those that I'm planning to upgrade with one extra 8gb DDR3 RAM and a 128gb msata sdd. In your byild the storage is an overkill for an old laptop
i just got one of these t420's, its actuly pretty good once you sort it out ,payday2 is now playable
Great
very good job
Hello boss, thank you for this awesome video.
So could you tell us what is the model number for that 256GB MSata HDD of Toshiba brand? Thanks very much indeed!
music goes hard
Hi, I found other similar Toshiba (and not only) SSD for internal use like the model shown in your video but with little differences in type model (e.g. THNSNJ256GMCU). I'd like to understand the compatibility level. What are the basic features for installing this type of device on the T420? Tks in advance
i love you from morocco
good video friend, could you tell me when you can what parts for this computer today are good for it? I want 12 gb of ram, a hard drive with more than 500 gb of memory and that runs smoothly and change processor to intel core i7 which brands would be good today.
Nice !!! How about a video for an upgrade for T420 from core i5-2520M to core i7-xxxx?!
You surely can, upgrade the bios first and watch out your CPU temperature
@Tech InfoMania you made that look totally easy. Have a question for you. It looks like you replaced the wireless card with the mSata SSD. Is this correct? How do you have internet connectivity after doing this? Am I missing something. I've never thought about doing this. It looks like a great idea. I'm just concerned about how to still get on the internet without an internal wifi card is all. Thank-you.
dear, t420 hve a built in MSata ssd slot and wifi wireless card slot is under keyboard which is already installed when i pulled up keyboard you can see that clearly upper side
T420 can have MSata SSD and 2.5 inch HDD or SDD and we can also add 3rd drive in dvd caddy
so we can have 3 storages in T420
can you make t410 sir?
Muito Bom!!!
Which screwdriver did you use?
Bro in this t420 new ram works on 1600mhz???
Because in t420 specs 1333mhz mentioned
is another different battery to the stock?
Hey do you know how to increase dedicated vram on t420 i tried many ways and it didnt work
I have 4gb of ram which comes with the laptop.Will it work good if I put 8gb 1333mhz pc3-10600s ram on the second sloth
Sir mai india se hu computer shop chalata hu to inme se kaun sa laptop lu sir please help

how much money required for upgrade to this?
Are T410 have sata3 Slot ??
how do you get all of the storage drives to work? In my head I'm thinking if I add SSDs along with my default HDD the HDD won't be used for storage anymore, as I will want it to be from SSD. Hope that makes sense!
company provided slots for extra HDD, yes they are all working, i am a user who use 2 or 3 HDD maximum on Laptop because i need storage for my work
Hi can you send me message on the parts and where to buy and how much did the hardware cost thanks
can they fit in t520?
Can a chiclet keyboard be installed in t420
What models of ram memories did you use?
china brand of MT16KTF1G64HZ
itu batrenya nonjol gitu, kapasitasnya lebih besar ?
Sir im planning to buy a WD Green 120gb 2.5"/ 7mm SSD, will it work on my T420? and can you please tell me what brand and model of RAM would fit on my T420? im not familiar with all the codes and what not, i just want to upgrade my beloved laptop :) .. glad i found this vid! subbed! thanks!
also i removed my HDD and just planning to switch on SSD alone with no HDD. is it okay?
Should be 1333MHz, any Laptop ram company but up to 16gb of ram is all it can handle
@@suli0786 what about 1600mhz?
@@pumpqnbelly3895 pretty sure T420 can only 1333MHz. but to be sure check on your task manager. should tell you the hertz it runs at. go to Task manager. Click more details. Click performance. click memory. The ram speed (mhz) should be under the graph next to speed.
La memoria ram ddr3 cuanto es de bus 800mhz?
I want to buy what is the cost
Good video, I never knew that they had an msata port! Will the WiFi still work when the msata ssd is installed? Please reply, thanks!
Thanks dear, wifi card is fitted in its own slot, msata have separate slot, no connection of msata with wifi card and yes both wifi and msata will work absolutely perfect

What is msata because I don't understand
@@freetechsupport6028 it's a type of SSD connector - msata = mSATA

Its extended battery and have 9 cells insetad 6 cells
Can you identify the blue, thin plastic ribbon inside the battery compartment visible at 2:27 ?
It's for a sim card
The blue sticker on the top of the laptop. Did you get that from Unclaimed Baggage?
these units came from europe and used unit which usually comes in high quantity and here they refurb then sell it
Thanks. The blue inventory stickers just gave me deja vu.
Hi, upgrading cpu is it necessary to change battery charger (90 watt)?
Wonderful video, txs
Thank u.
No dear, upgrade processor and no need to change charger
By the way you can upgrade cpu from i3 to i5 or i5 to i7 only of 2nd generation

How about if I can upgrade ram and just 1 hdd is this increase the performance too or must recommend all 5 things to upgrade for optimum performance
Hello! Have you tried any Wifi 6 board on T420 or T430? Do you recommend any? Thank you!
I have the exact same question...
BIOS has Whitelist, with unlock you can use any Others Card, fastest Option ist the Intel 7260hmw

Hello. I have a T420 and I need to upgrade my CPU. Do you think that model i7-2820QM is a good choice? And is necessary to change de fan too? Thanks.
Yes it is a good choice if we see limitations of t420 and if fan working without any problem then no need to change

Hello, on which drive did you install the operating system and programs?
i installed windows on MSata ssd
I want a battery of this laptop
Does it recognise 12gb ram? Did you have to change the bios? Some websites say that this laptop only utilises 8gb ram.
yes this laptop support 16gb total ram and bios auto detect ram
@@techinfomania598 Thanks!
I have to buy ssd for t420 can u please suggest me, which one i have to buy 120gb or 240gb for my thinkpad
I have to work on android studio
Please Reply
240gb is good will help a lot, go with latest technology to get more speed
Can you do something similar for a HP 540 GME 965 Chipset
Or help me with what all I can install especially in the Expresscard 34/54 slot
HP 540 i guess 1st gen machine?
Well msata slot started coming from 2nd gen very few machines and 3rd and in 4th selected models.
1st not having msata slot.
And express card can do many job for you, you can buy these things like
Usb 3.0 two ports
External graphic connector via express card
Esata connector to connect hard drive with esata option which speed faster then ordinary HDD
And many more.
@@techinfomania598
Is it possible to install the newer PCIe Nand SSD in the Expresscard slot....
Also you had found hidden extra RAM slot can something like that be present in HP 540 ??
I don't understand, your model is i5 second generation (as the mine too) but the max RAM that the mother board can handle is 8gb ¿how can you integrate 12gb there?
.
It works just as he showed. Mine is currently running 12GB, and the 4GB will soon be replaced with a second 8GB. It worked on the original 2012 BIOS, and the latest 1.52 (2018) BIOS.
@@sarkybugger5009 iñ
You can get up to 16gb if you flash a open source alternative bios as well
@@sarkybugger5009 Hello my bios version is 1.44, could I put more than 8GB of ram?
Can any one tell me how much of m sata 256 gb in dollar ?
This model support 16gb ram (8gb x 2)?
yes
What is the purpose of installing the m satta ssd?
to get more space if some one is having a job of editing or graphic designing
bro plz tell me your battery backup timing
depends on the work, if doing editing videos with high multi videos then took 1hour 15 minutes, and if watching movie or doing browsing then takes 2hours 10 to 15 minutes
I have to upgrade ram...in my t420 laptop..
Someone suggest me to upgrade ram(same frequency and same size) which is engaged in your laptop
Are agree with that?????
T420 can have 16gb maximum ram, ram that use for 1st 3nd 3rd and 4th gen. Doesn't matter if you have 2gb and you are installing single 4gb more, will work, like t420 will get 6gb
Is a regular 2 terabyte hard drive necessary? I mean can i not add??
dear, 2TB was my requirements, does not mean it is necessary, you can go with your own chice
does inserting a Msata drive really improves performance of laptop and in what way it improves the performance?
Msata is much faster then ssd, and yes performance get faster then with ordinary one
@@techinfomania598 so is it safe to insert msata ssd and regular ssd in the same device?
I put msata 256gb, 256gb ssd and 1tb ordinary hdd, with 12gb ram and used it for 8 months with video editing with no issues
Brother what is the price of 256gb msata?
Around 6k and used
When you finished did it have WiFi
Yes it have, it have a separate slot for wifi
Do we need both SSD and Msata SSD?
No beed, ib case you want two ssd then yes we can install 2 ssd drives and msata
Wait, ram 12gb? Max thinkpad T420 Ram 8gb
It support 16gb max
Nope, i got t420 with 16gb ram. Top quality.
en esta laptop solo funcionan dos tipos de disco, mSATA y el disco principal....el de quitarle la lectora y reemplazarle por un caddy no servira de nada, ya que la laptop no lo reconocera y si lo reconoce lo reconocera como si fuera un USB externo, en algunas veces cuando inicia windows no aparece el disco, lo digo porque hice ese proceso de adicionarle el disco y quitarle de la lectora
no dear, that is not what you said, i have 3 hard disk on my laptop, it will detect all of 3 hard disk, you can see it in video
@@techinfomania598 pues yo si tuve inconveniente al instalarle el caddy y no solo yo, en otro video en uno de los comentarios tambien tenia el mismo problema que yo
Bro i don't know why thi laptop support 12gb ram and 240gb ssd
But their lenovo website says upto 8gb ram and 160gb ssd supports
Reply i also have this laptop
How's that possible
Dear bro. Well t420 support maximum 16gb of ram 8+8 and later on i installed becsuse mostly my use is video editing. Now as per website of lenovo, couldn't find any hdd support maximum capacity, some how, i used t420 for about 7 months with 16gb ram + 256gb msata + 256gb ssd + 2tb normal hdd in caddy removing dvd rom. And never get a single issue while using it and i was using windows 7 that time.
@@techinfomania598 i have window 10
And i have to insert ssd 256gb( good for enough) i'm a developer android studio
And i have 320 gb hdd
it will consume the battery 3 times faster
no, normal because of SSD HD
Did you changed dvd drive with hdd?
I put hard drive cady in dvd rom place.
One hard drive can be fit in cady
No use of dvd rom since from long time
@@techinfomania598 does the caddy fit flush with the laptop? Because there are universal cheap caddy and there are also caddy designed for T420.
Yes dear
hello ... i have laptop lenovo T420 Intel Core i5-2520M CPU 2.50GHz, Can i upgrade it with Intel Core i7 3632QM CPU 2.2GHz ? is okay or not ?
Can i make upgrade RAM for 4GB to 16GB ?
Is it available to him when I make an external screen card?
Thank you so much >>>>>
Hi
Processor can be upgrade from i5 to i7 but same generation. Like i7 of 2nd generation processor can be fit and will work.
Will not work if going for 3rd generation processor to fit in 2nd generation laptop.
And about ram.
If you laptop suppots 16gb then yes you can but you need to search on internet about matching ram accordingly
@@techinfomania598 thank you for that, do where about external graphic card to lenonv T420 ?
Hi @Tech InfoMania,
Thank you if you can clarify something for me: I have a Lenovo T420 and it currently has an intel i5 processor, 4GB ram (2x2gb) and a 256gb ssd. I would like to increase his ram memory from 4gb to 16gb (2x8gb), have you tried this? My Bios version is 1.27 but on Lenovo's website the most current is 1.52. If I don't update, will there be any impact when installing the new memories?
Yo sí y funcionó bien con 16 gb de ram. Saludos
Just update bios u can also switch CPU for I7 if needed 4 cores 8 threads.
Hello T420 is a wonderful machine, I have just upgraded i5-2520m to i7-2670qm, it works quite smooth with 10GB ram!
What keys are you pressing that shows the installed memories and drives sir?
usually lenovo laptop requires F1 key to get enter into Bios
i have a t410 with a wwan slot free. i can install this msata drive in it? it will work?
dear, not confirm will t410 support msata
but i red that t410s does support
@@techinfomania598 ok Man, thankyou for the answer. If One day i get a msata SSD i will try it, and if ir work i Will make a post about that
Can I do the same with t410 ?
yes only check either t410 have msata slot?
Msata tipe 2242 or 2280?
msata came in one size if i am correct, then m.2 sata came in different size
hello can you help me what the best upgrade for that laptop lenovo t420
like CPU CORE I7 2670QM IS GOOD OR NO?
RAM 16 GB DDR3 IS IT GOOD OR NOT ?
SSD CARD ?
2020 :-) thank you
And have some Question ? Is it worth it to make an external graphics card for the games?
thank you !!
T420 can have i7 quad core processor, but you must know the mother board must be ok, no repairs done before, weak mother may not handle, and if you want to upgrade from i5 to i7 qm with 16gb ram with ssd then yes it would be good in performance, but check the cost and compare it with i7 3rd generation before upgrading.
By the way performance will become much better getting ssd hard drive and 16gb ram
Gpu cannot be fit in t420 if the laptop came without graphic card, and also gpu difficult to repair if gpu is out of work came built-in. I suggest to go with laptop that came inbuilt gpu
My laptop lenovo T420 core i5-2520m CPU 2.50GHz ... RAM 4,00
Is that okay to upgrade it ? Or all upgrade ?
And about graphic card is that impossible to buy one external ?
That's why i'm asking you sir .
What exactly you want to do with your laptop that you want to upgrade?
Like for video editing or some thing like that?
By the way specs are good that already you have in t420.
Still you can edit video but will get LAG.
No way to install external graphic in mother board.
There is an alternative way to use desktop graphic card.
You need to search on youtube.
where to buy msata ssd?
MSata is available in used in my country. And also it is available online used. Search for it
