How to upgrade everything in your ASUS Transformer Flipbook 500 Series Laptop.
In This Video I Show How to Upgrade:
~Memory
~SSD
~2nd HDD
Long video, but I show every step so you don't have to worry about breaking anything.
~~~NOTE~~~
If you have the TP Series, you have an internal 24GB SSD already installed. You can still do the Memory and SSD Upgrade, but you will not have the slot for the optical drive/2nd HDD caddy.
Here is what your internals will look like:

If yours don't look like that, please send me a message and I'll have you send me a pic of yours.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the thorough hands-on guide. I have the exact model you used in the video and was able to swap SSD and optical drive with ease! Couldn't find any disassembly pdf online but was happy to find your video.
Thank you. Great video. I upgraded from 8GB RAM to 12GB. Watching your video first made the job easy, and showed me how easy the access is to my ASUS.
hi John , can you please let me know the RAM description , I already have 2 x 4gb ram , I want to upgrade to 12GB, please provide me a link for the RAM , is the frequency matiching , are we getting any blue screen error.
Hi, could you please tell me what exact ram type to buy to upgrade?
Cheers for the video, without it I would have felt like I was breaking the laptop to take the cover off after taking the screws out!
Hey. It’s been a while since you made this, but I just got around to installing my ssd to replace the stock hdd. Perfect tutorial. Considering I have no experience with this type of stuff, this video gave me the confidence to tackle it easily! Worked like a charm. Thanks!
LexaPr0 Awesome! Glad to help!
Just did everything you showed in the video. Wouldn't have been possible without you, friend
Glad to have made things easier!
UPDATE! I added an 8gb ram stick to make it 12gb ram, added a 250 Samsung Evo and moved my 1tb hdd to optical bay. Easy as cake and my machine flies now! I do some music recording and production (I'm a hobbyist), I have no slow downs, glitches etc. This machine is now a beast!
Thanks again for the great video!

Mark Lipping Cool. Glad to help.
HHCDiesel Oops! Logged in on the wrong Channel.
I can't say thank you enough for this video. I got one new for $900, more than I ever spent on a gadget so I was a bit apprehensive about taking it apart until I found this video. The only thing of note, after all screws were removed and all sides pried out, the center around the battery area was VERY stubborn and I felt like I was going to break something. Nothing broke but it took a good tug from the other direction and heard a snap. Hopefully that helps someone else not panic like I did at first. THANKS AGAIN!!!!
Glad to Help. Yeah the First Time is always a bit tight.
If you don't have a guitar pick, don't try to pry the case open with your finger! I sliced mine pretty deep.
Awesome. The best instructional videos. Step-by-step, clear demonstrations with excellent pacing.
Makes even the computer challenged feel more confident.
thank you!!! there are not many reviews or info on this series of Asus computer and you made my life and decision on computer sooo much easier! subscribed!
I changed to a SSD and a new battery, but had some problems and with a good magnifying glass realized the battery connector wasn't making correctly. Fixed that and everything was great. It came with 12GB memory so nothing need there. I have two of these both I7 (his and hers). Good computers.
Thanks so much for this video. It was a big help for me. As I was working with the TP550LA, rather than the one you were showing, I had to adapt a little, but your video was great start. One note, for anyone working on the TP550LA, vs. the TP500LA, the battery connection lifts up rather than pulls out. Also, the small socket that holds the small ribbon cable that goes over the HD enclosure flips up. The rest is the same as here.
Going to attempt this tomorrow! Only video I found for sdd installation for the Q551LN. Thanks alot!!
No problem! With an SSD this laptop is amazing. Still use it every day.
Thank you so much for making this. I wasn't sure if it would be possible to open this thing up at home to put the 850 in it, but you've assuaged my concerns. You even showed how to move the bevel on the optical. I think I'll throw in a Blu-ray drive while I'm at it!
Glad to help :)
Thanks for this upgrade video. You did a very nice job. I have the Q551LN and it's nice to know about the upgrade options available, especially the HDD in place of the optical drive.
John Donaldson You're Welcome. Be sure to subscribe for more videos on the Q551LN.
I have 8G already. What’s the highest I can go and can you give me an Amazon link to the card. I have the Q551l
Perfect exactly what I needed:-) Thanks for the info!!!!
Thanks, that was really helpful! The guitar pick idea saved me a ton of time and broken tabs.
Thank you for this video, helped guide me on SSD replacement of original mech drive!
Glad to help!
Thank you for posting this. I wish there was some more discussion on specs, and requirements. Little is left to chance that modern day tech can be used. Nonetheless, great job!
Excellent Information, straight forward, to the point and completely thorough! Thanks.
Just a recommendation, use some fast forward editing to cut down the time you are unscrewing and opening things. Otherwise a very informative video.
the link to the caddy has two options, do I need the 9.5mm or the 12.7mm version for the Q551?
***** The 9.5mm one.

I just recently bought an auss transformer flip book and I just wanted to say your videos are awesome! You have a brilliant camera to capture all the steps you do and your verbal tutorial is outstanding! You Sir, have earned yourself a subscriber.
If I may ask, I was just wondering how would I go about to clean the keyboard? I'm thinking of popping out the keys but I'm not sure if I can do that. Your advice would be very much appreciated! ^^
***** I haven't done a video on that. The Chicklet Style Keyboard on these doesn't get dust and hair trapped under the keys as much as the older style keyboards. You can easily take a can of compressed air and blow out most of the dust, then take a Q-Tip with alcohol to clean inbetween the keys. If you want to actually remove the keys be very careful as the little plastic hinges and clips that hold them in are very fragile. Here is a video on key removal on a macbook which might have some useful information. Don't count on the hinges and clips being in the same places on your keyboard as they are on the MacBook:
ruclips.net/video/LCT-CldP_r4/видео.html
GadgetClass Many thanks for that very comprehensive reply haha! Do let me know if you ever get around to disassembling the keyboard!
1 more question I have though is that my ASUS Transformer Book Flip came with a 24GB SSD but it doesn't show up in "My computer". When I emailed ASUS, they told me that I am not supposed to use the 24GB SSD at all because it was meant to speed up my system, rather than to be used for storage. I was just wondering whether this is true? You seem like an expert on computers haha and I would love to get a second opinion from you
I have a question, is the asus flip 2 in 1 model q502la-bsi5t14 able to have the graphics card replaced? I was wondering because I was planning on buying it as my next laptop and needed to know. Currently have a HP 15 notebook laptop.
Thanks!
I just got a Flip Book and it has an i3 cpu. Did a quick comparison and all the Flip Books available in French retailers only have i3 cores whereas all the Flip Books on amazon.com had i5 or i7 cpus for cheaper or same price. I guess we in Europe must be suckers.
+hefeelslikeivan Unfortunately, ASUS leverages their markets the same way all of the big companies do.
not a bad tutorial...but just a bit of caution, make sure that you and your work area are grounded and protected from static electricity. Static kills electronics! All in all, great video.
thank you for the very clear video and the instroctions of how to upgrade the Asus.
No problem! Glad I could help!
Really enjoy your videos. You explain things great.
Thank you! That means a lot :)
You did a great job on the video. Thanks!!! 👍👍
12GB is the Max Ram because they don't make 12GB chips to go in the single available slot
GadgetClass That is odd. My HP has a dual bay for RAM and can support up to 2x8 for 16GB. And I am fairly certain ASUS is of much better quality than mine. Mine is just an AMD Elite 5545m quad core clocking at a measly 2.7GHz, AMD Radeon HD 8510G, and a 15" touch screen which I never use but works well. Only paid $500 for it last February. I am happy with it, but my HDD is starting to kind of hang up and making me worry.
So I have been watching your vids like a hawk trying to figure out how to back up all my goods on my drive. Not sure if I should buy an large external for backing up, or how hard it even is. Mine also has a D: dedicated for recovery. Not sure what that does either besides recover. And I have no clue how to make disc copies for restore, or an sd card like you used would be even nicer. I wish I could hire you to get me up to snuff and help me with these things! Cheers to you for the time you take on trying to educate us, appreciate it greatly.
Ryan Lee you can only swap one bay on these. 4gb of the ram is replaceable but 4gb isnt. Therefore 12 is the max
+GadgetClass I have a Q551LN-BBI7 with 8GB ram installed factory. When I purchased it I was under the belief that 12 gb is the max. However when I use the Piriform Speccy APP it says I have 2 total slots. 1 used and 1 free. I haven't opened my unit yet to check. So if I order the 8 GB card and open it up should I find an empty slot and end up with 16GB total? Is the Speccy App confused and I don't actually have an open slot? or when I open it up will I find an empty slot? Thanks for a great video BTW.
+Mike Maloney as shown in the video you do in fact have a 4gb chip in your only available slot.12 is the max
+GadgetClass Do you know if the HDD is swappable for a SSD in the TP300L? And if the memory is upgradable also?
OUTSTANDING Video!!!! My only hesitation presently in purchasing this ASUS TP500LA-AS53T is not knowing if I'm eventually able to REPLACE THE BATTERY?? Also curious if one can change out the wireless to AC.
Thank you again! You're amazing and very very helpful!!! Dale
I upgraded my Q551LN to the new 204 bios. Seems to work much better sleeping in Windows 10
+Larry Spero Thanks for the update!
Nice Video. I have a TP500LA. I dropped it now the accelerometer got messed up and one of my hinges. You think you can make a video showing how to change the hinges as well as identifying the accelerometer thanks.
very informative video. everything i needed to learn about upgrading my new Q551LN.
sucks i cant upgrade the graphics, but even without, I've experienced positive results, pre upgrade. i expect the same post.
It's a good all around laptop. Once upgraded it is a strong contender for Tablet/Media/Gaming. Not the best, but better than most.
great vid - showed me exactly what I needed.
Thanks for sharing.
Hello, I watch your video, excellent.. I just I want to ask, after upgrade the hardware, how about the software?
Excellent tutorial. I just purchased the Q551LN a few days ago at BB and have been searching for a good SSD to replace the 5400rpm existing drive. I want to keep the optical drive in place and don't want to use an external HDD. On the link you provide for the 500GB EVO, that page also shows a 1TB EVO SSD in the same form factor. You see any issue with going with the 1TB over the 500GB?
Disregard the above question. Got the 1TB drive and the 8GB memory and they went in with no issues. Worth noting that the the Samsung EVO SDD comes with software migration utility that was a snap to use. No need to get something like Acronis, but you will need to get a SATA to USB cable. This laptop works so much more nicely now. Thanks again for the excellent tutorial.
Nice video. Is the hard drive upgrade possible on my 550LD? How is the procedure different from this video?
Hey mate, I just bought the TP500LN. If i upgrade to SSD do i need to re-install Windows?
Thanks for your tutorial,the ram slot we see in video is the extra ram slot?,where is the build in 4GB ram and mu model is Asus Transformer book Flip TP500LN
I have the same ASUS that you are working on but my CD Drive will not shut all the way. I am wondering what should I do to fix this issue? Thanks
Great vid! does this all work with the T101HA as well?
how do i transfer the system info over?
If you want to keep the Disc Drive, you should get an SSHD, 1TB. They sell on Amazon. Seagate Laptop SSHD's are good.
+Omar Kazi (OAKSIF) I dont reccomend that though. Ima just do a 240GB Kingston SSD-now+1TB Seagate Laptop SSHD Thin, and keep the Original Hard drive as an External drive.
Do you know any of the specs on the screws this thing uses? I lost 2 of them cleaning it out and can't find anything similar locally or how to search online for it.
I know this is an older video but I hope you're still monitoring the comments! I have a seagate 2 TB backup plus ultra slim. It's an SCSI connector. Is there a caddy for that or would it need to be a SATA drive?
Great video, by the way! I used it to upgrade to a 1 TB SSD, upgraded my RAM, and it introduced me to the concept of replacing my optic drive for maximum storage for all my work projects!
Open it up. It's probably SATA inside.
@@GadgetClass Sweet! Thanks!
@@GadgetClass You probably already knew this, but you were totally right! Thanks.
@@chadjackman444 Awesome!
So would this void the warranty taking the optical disk drive out. Also I want to put the original 1TB drive in there for storage. Should I wipe that after cloning it over. How to I make sure to not boot to it? Any response would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, very informative, I need more memory for this laptop. 4Gb of ram is not efficient.
Hi, I have a problem with the motherboard of the TP500LA, needs to be replaced, do you know where I can buy one? sorry for my bad english is not my first language.
thinking about doing this upgrade since my laptop is starting to lightly give up. doing the the SSD upgrade, would the 1TB stock fit into the 2nd caddy? thanks.
Great video I just had a couple of questions: is the stock hdd compatible with the caddy? Also did you transfer the os onto the ssd before installing? Thank you I'm new to these kind of hardware upgrades
Tucker Phillips Yes the Stock HDD is completely compatible with the caddy. Many people just wipe it and use it as the secondary storage device. I cloned the Factory partitions onto the SSD Via USB using Macrium Reflect. Shown in this video:
ruclips.net/video/Jh4uRhWwZT0/видео.html
GadgetClass why not use the stock HDD in your video? The new one you put in is 1tb as well... What is the performance difference if any? I'm about to put the stock HDD in the Optical slot via the caddy.. Hope this works.
I have a TP200 series and need to open up the keyboard portion. Can anyone direct me to instructions on opening the TP200 series? Thank you.
hey i was wondering if there is a way to change the batter on this unit, i have the same laptop and have such bad battery life?
Can you put the 1TB HDD that came with the Q551 into an HDD caddy into the optical drive slot?
Absolutely. That is a great way to do it.
@@GadgetClass If I do that, is there a necessity to clone my 1TB HDD to the new SSD, since it'll go into the optical drive? I have my old 1TB HDD backed up on a third external hard drive.
Found it! www.quora.com/If-I-replace-my-HDD-with-an-SSD-and-put-the-HDD-in-the-DVD-drive-how-can-I-preserve-the-boot
and also would a sandisk ssd be a big downgrade from the Samsung evo? and if I was to upgrade to ssd. should there be a min gb?
Thanks man, now I can game 😁
Thanks for the quick response! my question was 'does the slot accept 2 memory chips". So what you are saying is that 4GB is sodered in the unit and what is in the removable slot is addition to that 4GB?? Example, with mine, I have 8GB of usable memory, which means the removable chip I have is a 4GM chip?
That is correct
wow dude! lifesaver! thank you!
hello, first off thank you for this tutorial. I was able to perform the SSD upgrade on my laptop after having this in my watch later for a few years now. However when I try to put the HDD in the system with the SSD windows seems to reboot from the HDD as it always starts up by doing the whole "welcome to windows" message. I was wondering if you knew why this might be happening and if you know a workaround for this issue. I know its been awhile since you made the video but I figured you would be the best person to ask. Thank you for the tutorial anyways and if there isnt a solution I'll just leave it how it currently is, SSD and empty optical/HDD area.
Whats the ram should be raplaced here? i only know that its ddr3, but whats the speed mhz? could you name some choices for example?
Hi. I have asus Q552UB laptop. I kept some data for downloading and Suddenly laptop went to sleep mode (i guess). When i power on the laptop, CAPS LOCK key lights up and slowly F2 key lights up. The display is blank and can't hear the fan running too. I removed the battery, tried to discharge it totally, still no luck. i even tried removing RAM but still only those two keys LED are lighting up. Can you please help me out.
When it reads from a hdd,how is that actually makes it fast as ssd? I mean,i understand how ssd function,but if you use hdd,isnt that gonna be a normal hdd speed when used?
Hi, could you please tell me what exact ram type to buy to upgrade?
TP500L, are there any special ssd slots that can be upgraded?
So, the laptop itself does not come with the 12 GB Installed only 4GB and the rest free up space?
Awesome video, by any chance could you let me know exactly what battery it is? I have the q551model like yours but the battery dies too quickly and I plan on upgrading to a better one.
*Q551LN-BBI706 Model
do you have a link to that hard drive caddy?
I have the Q551LN, and was thinking about upgrading the memory, you said in your video to get the 8GB chip, is 4GB internal, so adding an 8 gets you up to the twelve. or do you use the old 4 chip with the 8?
You will be replacing the 4gb chip in the memory slot with the 8gb to give you 12 total
is asus tp500l have dual ram slow or only have single slot?
I bought this laptop a week ago so I'm reluctant to start opening it up already to have a look myself. I want to ask about the airflow of the fan. Obviously it's blowing heat out the back, but without opening it, it isn't obvious where it's actually drawing in air from. Seems sort of like it's just letting air 'leak' in from whatever crevice can be had. Having looked into it better, do you think it would benefit from some thing slots or holes being drilled into the bottom panel where the fan sits? Obviously it set's pretty low to a desk, and in your lap these slots would probably be blocked, but by the looks of it, it can use all the help it can get.
Actually they call it a vertical fliw design where air is both entering and exiting the back. Seems to work well to me.
Sounds good thanks.
Hello, thank you very much, I already upgrade mine, but after the upgrade the backlight keyboard doesn't work and I cannot turn my computer off (fans still working after turned off) unless I keep pressing the power button. Can you please help?
You may have missed a plug when putting it back together. Open it back up and make sure everything is plugged in securely where it was originally.
does upgrading the hardware for example the ram from 4gb to 12gb will void the warranty. I just buy this laptop. but afraid to do so. moreover, which one does the warranty cover? thank
amir asari No it does not.
Great tutorial !!! Thanks !
One question, I have the TP model , is it possible to install a 2nd HDD in the empty space (there is a slot in the mother board?) where the CD drive surprise to be ?
Appreciate your answer !
bcoolnow You have a different setup with on-board 24GBSSD. I chose the BestBuy Q version on purpose, so that I could do this upgrade. Your Internals Should Looks Like This Picture:
www.ultrabookreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/interior-1.jpg
You will be able to do the SSD and Memory upgrades only. If your internals look any different than that pic, let me know and maybe send it to me so I can update the post.
Can spinning disk be replaced by SSD for the TP300LA as well?
i tried to be cheap and bought a cheap knock off caddy from ebay, its 1mm to thick so now it wont fit D: get rekt. I went and purchased the caddy that you included in the description hopefully it fits this time.
I have the TP500LA (i3 with 4gb) I'd like to add the 8GB of ram, but am confused. Does this model allow for the 8gb or just another 4? Thanks.
Hey, great video! do you know if i can upgrade the battery? and if so, do you know where can i find a suitable one?
nadavkunievsky The user guide, or startup guide says to have a technician or trained personnel to swap battery. That tells me yes, it can be swapped, and all you need is a part number, likely on the battery (Google that number). The average person just isn't willing to open up expensive electronics, and manufacturers don't encourage people doing so. Otherwise, just a few screws and a plug.
Battery can be replaced, but there isn't any extra room in there for more cells.
Great video; thanks! One question: My asus says it is a Q551L model.... no "N". Plus, it says I have 8GB of RAM installed, with two slots. Do the same properties of your video still apply to mine? Am having a little difficulty finding the absolute info for my model. Thanks again.
Christopher William Should be exactly the same. Open it up...
Can you detail the configuration that you upgrade is not. Thank you very much!!!
I tried using a Crucial M500 SSD and had the same problem about the bios not recognizing this drive or if it does fails booting. Tried cloning and didn't work. Tried Windows 10 lean install and couldn't detect drive.
I decided to order a Samsung 850 and hopefully that will work. Sounds like the bios is picky when it comes to drives.
Does anyone have any wisdom about getting a SSD to work in this ASUS Q551LN. Any bios settings need to be changed? Does Windows 10 clean install see the Samsung 850?
Update
I put a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO and it worked perfectly without any issues.
+Larry Spero This model is indeed very pickey. Something about the UEFI BIOS configuration. I think it needs a manufacturer's BIOS update but doubt they wil put one out.
Is it necessary to clone the SSD?
GadgetClass, I have the Q551L from BestBuy and my wifi has been randomly drooping and showing no connection. It lasts from 30 seconds to two minutes and then comes back on. I m in college and it drops me when I am in class taking the weekly online quiz.Others around me have no problem with their computers. Would it be easy to change the wifi adapter card? Can you do a tutorial on that? Do you think that is the problem?
teacherchrisesl The video actually shows taking the WiFi card out and putting it back in. Very easy. I would try downloading the latest drivers from ASUS first though.
Coming back to this video to say SSD installed along with the 1TB HD and caddy. Thank you for these videos!
Also, is there anyway to turn off the ASUS LED logo from the top of the Notebook? I remember there was an option but sadly I can't seem to find it anymore.
Alan Pena Cool! I think you can turn off the LED in the BIOS settings
GadgetClass couldn't find it! thank you though
First Good Video. I have a memory question. I'm thinking of upgrading memory in my TP500LA. I presently has 8GB and you say it's upgradeable to 12GM. From your description in this video it sounds like you can insert multiple chips to achieve the desired amount. (ie for me adding a 4GB). I was just in my unit to replace the WiFi card. I made a quick look at the memory slot, but it appeared to only handle ONE chip. I got side tracked and have sealed the computer back up before making a detailed 'look see'. Does this unit accept two cards, or do I have to find a single 12GB memory chip??
It has 4GB soldered to the motherboard. You only need an 8GB chip to max it out. It has to be a DDR3L or Low voltage chip. This is the one I have been recommending:
smile.amazon.com/dp/B00DSGLM64/?tag=cr38er-20
Hi, I have purchased a new ASUS laptop (ASUS X555LA laptop) with 1 TB HDD (there is no SSD) and 8 GB RAM. I really liked your video and helps me understand how to replace existing SSD with a bigger capacity SSD and how to replace DVD-RW with additional HDD. Is it possible for me to let me existing HDD remain in its slot as it is and if I can use DVD-RW space to add an additional 128 or 256 GB SSD and if there is a way that my Windows reboots via SSD instead of HDD. Hope I have been able to explain that well in terms of what I want to do.
+Kevin Smith it should be possible if there is a y compatible caddy for what you want to do. Also windows wont magically boot from the ssd you will have to install it on the particular drive if is not already so make sure to do a backup of all your files.
Hi, could you do a tutorial for the tp510ua model? Can't find any...
Amazing work, you really know what your doing awesome work! can the ASUS Q551LN-BBI706 upgrade like this?
Yes it can. it's pretty much the same configuration as the one in the video
This might be a dumb question, but can you switch out the DVD drive for a bluray drive? Im going to be buying this laptop in the next week or so but i really like watching movies. Another question that im wondering is how does the dvd drive work when the laptop is on its stand mode? Im going to guess having the disc spin upside down or horizontal isnt going to be good for it.
BostonGamer24 Yes you can swap for a BluRay Drive. You will simply need to use your Bezel on the new drive as shown in the video (don't forget to slice off the little piece of plastic).There are many reports of Windows 8.1 having issues playing BlueRay due to Sony's BluRay Copyright stuff. If you install Cyberlink powerDVD or use "WorkArounds" You should be fine. I recommend this one:
www.amazon.com/dp/B007ILC49Y/?tag=cr38er-20
Some people have had issues with the other popular brand Panasonic drive.
The disk is held in place by a lock so it can be used in any position. Of course perpendicular angles are best, but since it is locked in there is no issue.
I highly recommend getting the one with onboard video: TP500LN or Q551LN:
www.amazon.com/dp/B00LWB5OR0/?tag=cr38er-20
And order a set of touchscreen protectors for it:
www.amazon.com/dp/B00MEMTB7U/?tag=cr38er-20
Thanks for the quick response, i forgot the disc is held in place by a lock in laptops. Im so used to desktop drives i forgot about that. Thanks for the link to the bluray drive.
I was planning on picking this one up from bestbuy www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-flip-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/7289029.p?id=1219262038351&skuId=7289029
Where are the air intakes, since I don't see a grille over the fan?
Also, does the bottom of the laptop get warm in any significant way? Is it thermally coupled (touching) any part of the bottom?
The air intake are below the screen like those in the MacBook Pro
hello there , i would like to ask you if i bought Asus Transformer T100TA which have a capacity of 32G EMMC , could i remove the keyboard dock and put SDD 120 G , i heard that some models of T100TA doesn't support to SDD or HDD inside their keyboard but i heard on the box of Asus Transformer T100TA , HDD:32G EMMC , is that meaning that this keyboard is already can have HDD or SDD to enlarge its capacity
I have the 13.3" model of the transformer flip book. It doesn't have an odd, can't add a 2ndary ssd/hdd. :(
Thank you for posting. I bought all the exact parts you recommend for the upgrade. However, the Samsung 2gb drive is not recognized. Are there any steps I need to follow I order to fix this? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
gfcevallos right click on the start button and select disk management. You should see the disk listed there but not initialized or formatted. Initialize it as a GPT disk then do a quick format
What is the limiting factor that makes it max out at 12GB RAM? Is it just that 8GB is the biggest single card that fits?
Pretty much. The board will only support that size.
User unplug the power supply need to be extremely careful as the connection with plug is very weak . I have pull out the connection with single pull. and cannot repair .
Crucial makes a 16GB card in 204pin DDR3L, would these be able use that much ram?
i just want ram upgrade is TP500L same as TP500LA ? i have one graphic card which is intel HD 4400
Is there any kind of speed bottleneck with that caddy connector? Also, do you know anything about the Q503UA model when it comes to hard drive upgrades? I can't find any info for it
the caddy is a straight SATA adapter so no slow down
Does replacing the DVD drive w/ the extra hard drive make that big of a difference? I just ordered the 250gb evo for my q551ln, but I barely use any space on my current 500gb partition.
yeah. if you don't use the space you might as well leave the optical drive in
Great video, may I know this laptop allows 2x4gb memory configuration? Or is it a single slot configuration onboarD>
melvineo10 Single Slot will hold an 8GB chip
Yes I know but I'm wondering if it has a soldered 4Gb Ram onboard + a single slot.
melvineo10 Yeah 4GB on-board 12GB total possible with the 8GB upgrade.
I have spilt tea on my keyboard. How do i take the keyboard out for cleaning?
