This was WAY(!!!!!) helpful. No stupid music, you can talk clearly, you don't get side tracked while talking, you have those nifty yellow boxes to show where we should be looking, ( though I think highlighter orange would be better than yellow) and then you do it all backwards. All in all this was great. Thank you.
Things that this video doesn't mention: While you are performing this upgrade, you can also do a couple of extra, maintenance tasks: 1.You can and should clean the internal fan, with a can of compressed air ideally. Remove and dust. You can also use a brush with very fine hairs for the fan blades. Second, you can remove the heatsink from the CPU, wipe off any thermal paste that is on it and replace with a fresh stripe of liquid silver thermal paste on the CPU as a preventative maintenance.
@@amosfeldman9454 I know it's a year later, but before you opened the case, did the system show 2 x 4 GB modules (one soldered on the board) or did it look like 1 x 8 GB?
I have a T450s, and this video is really helpful. When removing the bottom cover one of the clips at a corner was difficult to detach. I had to use more force. In the end the memory upgrade was successful. I now have the full 20G of memory! Thanks for posting the video.
Glad to be of assistance. Clips can vary in tightness from system to system and sometimes they can be a real pain even if you're experienced. Luckily spudgers are dirt cheap and can be attained easily through Amazon. I'd highly recommend keeping some around if you work on computers frequently.
Hi buddy, One question, what its the 16GB memory model or brand used to upgrade the system to 20 GB of RAM ? thanks in advance for your most valued help! Regards
@@Hunter-wv4ui depends on your motherboard, if it have 2 ram slots, then just add another 8gb stick. if it only have 1 ram slot like in this video, you need to buy a 16gb ram stick and replace current 8gb ram stick.
I like the extended runtime battery that's in this video. It's beefier than the battery that came with my laptop, so I'm sure it pretty much doubles your work hours between recharges.
Since internal battery's disable in bios before opening the unit, why do you show disconnecting its cable? Is that really needed? I guess not.. Anyone reply! ;)
If you disable the battery in BIOS, you do not need to disconnect the battery to replace the memory. However, it is recommended to disconnect the battery as s safety precaution. We disconnect it in the video in the case that a customer does not or cannot disable the battery in BIOS.

I should have looked up and viewed this BEFORE doing my upgrade, lol. I just went ahead and did my upgrade without all of the "extra" steps... seems to have worked out fine so far, but who knows what I've messed up...
Things I did not do: Turn off internal battery in BIOS, remove sim tray with sim card, disconnect and later reconnect power on the system motherboard...

Hi @RoamTek ! Thanks for writing in. Upon checking the built-in parts of your Thinkpad T440, it shows that it doesn't have an onboard 4GB Memory.

i have a t450s with 12 gb of ram . if i want to upgrade i have to buy another ram of 2 Gb extra its another module in the computer or just have 1 module , its mean i have to buy a card of 16 or 20 gb fully
As far as the manufacturer specifications indicate, the T450s only supports up to a maximum of 16GB of RAM. So it would essentially be useless to upgrade it to 20GB of RAM. Save the money and just upgrade it to 16GB.

[FIXED, DETAILS BELOW] Hello, I recently upgraded my Thinkpad T450 from 8GB to 16 GB Dual Channel Kit. When I start up the laptop it shows me a black screen. Is it because of the connections or it might be a hardware problem? Thank you. Edit: In case if someone has the same problem just reseat or reinstall the ram couple of times: it took me 6-8 times until booted. Just try until it works and if it does not, it might be issues with the motherboard or possibly from the cpu.
Thanks for answer me. One more thing my t450 comes with 16gb of m2 ssd and i like to do a upgrade on this device. My question is what is the model i need purchase to work without problem? I want upgrade to instal the OS (Windows 7) on m2 ssd, is possible? Did u understood my toughs?
And this is one of the main reasons why I always buy ThinkPads. The others are: a) great keyboard, b) they run Linux flawlessly. Very happy with my T450.

Previously I love lenovo but know I don't because of it's worst service center. I give them my new lenovo ideapad 310 for the repair of keyboard but they made my laptop more bad
I own the T450S i7 version so to avoid confusion - It is limited to 20gb ram whereas T450 (non-touch screen) can have up to 32gb ram. The T450 has two DIMM slots whereas the T450S i7 has 4gb soldered and 1 dimm slot. If I could go back in time I'd of gotten the T450 instead since I have the T450S docking all the time BUT I do love the touch screen when I'm on the road and want to quickly move content, or I'm reading a PDF and scroll/zoom in with my fingers etc

I have Lenovo thinkpad T440s I7 can i upgrade its ram from 8gp to 16gp is it support it ....
Hi, thanks for reaching out. There's 4GB RAM soldered to the motherboard and the RAM slot can support up to 8GB only. The total memory it can handle is 12GB. Here's ThinkPad T440s Platform Specifications: lnv.gy/2D6ozI7 Thanks, -Jim_Lenovo

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad T440. Id like to upgrade the memory; however when I did an initial scan for the type of memory on crucial.com, it only shows I've got 1 slot. Is the onboard not being detected? Or is my T440 is only depended on that one slot that currently has 4GB of ram and the max ram upgrade is 8GB? Info on my Lenovo: Serial Number: PC00DYC1Machine Type Model: 20B6005BUS. Any info would be great. Thank you in advance.
Hi @RoamTek ! Thanks for writing in. Upon checking the built-in parts of your Thinkpad T440, it shows that it doesn't have an onboard 4GB Memory. Hence, the maximum RAM would be 8GB via one 204-pin SO-DIMM socket that currently has 4GB in it lnv.gy/2CsH1Y0 Let us know if you have further questions. Hector_Lenovo
i have a t450s with 12 gb of ram . if i want to upgrade i have to buy another ram of 2 Gb extra its another module in the computer or just have 1 module , its mean i have to buy a card of 16 or 20 gb fully
You would need to use a 16GB stick to upgrade to a total of 20GB
As far as the manufacturer specifications indicate, the T450s only supports up to a maximum of 16GB of RAM. So it would essentially be useless to upgrade it to 20GB of RAM. Save the money and just upgrade it to 16GB.
Can we combine new 16gb stick with 4gb which is already in the system? Like 2 different numbers of ram?
Hi there, as long as they have the same specification and the system supports more than 16GB that would be okay. What is the model number of your laptop? Arjay_Lenovo
@@LenovoSupport thanks for your update. It's t450s i5 Windows 10 64.

@@LenovoSupport last question.. Can I install m.2 nvme 500gb in one of the m2 slot in t450s and boot through it and use my current hdd for storage?.. I know it has one m2 slot free.. But not sure if nvme ssd can be used? Please update. Appreciate it.
@@coolmanu55 I know 11 month old, but someone else might be interested. Answer to your question is NO. T450 does NOT accept nvme drives, you will need a M.2 2242 drive
Did you saw my last question? Thanks in advance!!

Can I upgrade to DDR 4 SODIMM for this?
Hello. We are glad to help. On what model do you wish to upgrade to DDR 4 SODIMM to? Hassen_Lenovo

RAM is soldered to the motherboard on select models. Please refer to PSREF: lnv.gy/37LYb2U. Hassen_Lenovo
[FIXED, DETAILS BELOW] Hello, I recently upgraded my Thinkpad T450 from 8GB to 16 GB Dual Channel Kit. When I start up the laptop it shows me a black screen. Is it because of the connections or it might be a hardware problem? Thank you.
Edit: In case if someone has the same problem just reseat or reinstall the ram couple of times: it took me 6-8 times until booted. Just try until it works and if it does not, it might be issues with the motherboard or possibly from the cpu.
If i did the hdd and ram upgrade my lenovo warranty will be lost?
No, the hard disk drive and memory are considered customer replaceable units. Replacing them will not void your warranty.
Thanks for answer me. One more thing my t450 comes with 16gb of m2 ssd and i like to do a upgrade on this device. My question is what is the model i need purchase to work without problem? I want upgrade to instal the OS (Windows 7) on m2 ssd, is possible? Did u understood my toughs?
And this is one of the main reasons why I always buy ThinkPads. The others are: a) great keyboard, b) they run Linux flawlessly. Very happy with my T450.
Hi, can I replace the RAM card of my T450 with a 8gb RAM card?

With more added RAM, my T440s wont boot until I take the RAM out again :(
I added two 8GB sticks to my T450, but now the laptop won't start the Windows boot up process after the laptop is turned on.
Possibly a bad stick. Try and boot it with each stick individually.
How could you put 2 sticks? There's only one slot in there. You mean 2 sticks, not at the same time? Am I right?
@@remgalino8769 T450 has 2 slots, T 440 has 1 slot.
Previously I love lenovo but know I don't because of it's worst service center. I give them my new lenovo ideapad 310 for the repair of keyboard but they made my laptop more bad
so this T440 has 1 DIMM socket, but the T450 has 2 DIMM sockets??
Yes sir. The T440 has 1 DIMM socket and then a bank of RAM next to it that is soldered to the system board. The T450 has 2 DIMM sockets.
okay. I think the T440s has the soldered on RAM, but the standard T440 doesn't have soldered RAM, just the single DIMM socket. Can you confirm?
KingAndrew5000 I stand corrected. You are right the T440 has no soldered RAM and one DIMM socket. The machine in the video is a T440s.
I own the T450S i7 version so to avoid confusion - It is limited to 20gb ram whereas T450 (non-touch screen) can have up to 32gb ram. The T450 has two DIMM slots whereas the T450S i7 has 4gb soldered and 1 dimm slot. If I could go back in time I'd of gotten the T450 instead since I have the T450S docking all the time BUT I do love the touch screen when I'm on the road and want to quickly move content, or I'm reading a PDF and scroll/zoom in with my fingers etc
Well, if there is a password in the bios you will not get there
I did this and everything seemed fine until I used some of the extra RAM and my laptop got really heavy
Instructions unclear, got nose stuck in memory slot.
pree I love lenovo but now I don't because of its worst service center I give them my new lenovo ideapad 310 for the repair of it's keyboard but they make my new laptop ugly they scrached my laptop's stickers and thay does fit it's display accurately.
