Didn't film the backlit keyboard install, sorry. This is probably the last upgrade I'm doing to this laptop for a good while, so no upgrade series this time.
Well my DELL E6420 freezes all the time. It must be because it only has 4 GBs of RAM. Thanks for the instructions to upgrade it to 8 GB or better. That would probably fix the freezing issue.
Nice one, i had 2Gb of ram in mi latitude e6420 and i baught a a kingston hyperX 4Gb ram stick on ebay and put it in with the defat as it was the sane speed and it works perfectly 👍
Obviously that is an expensive purchase I don't need to make. This E6420 is very powerful, more than enough for me and can't argue for what I paid for it.
This video would have been perfect if the guy didn't skip the unscrewing and popping off the cover part. I just upgraded my Dell e6420 i7 to 16gb of ram from 4gb Several places online says 8gb is the max, but that isn't the case. My computer is flying in loading times. Bought two 8gb for $22 each from Amazon.
Latitude E6420? At the start you say it's a Latitude E6400. Then you pull out 2gb ram and say it's pc2. pc2 works in the E6400 but the E6420 uses pc3 ram.
So getting the bottom off, did you take every single screw out of just most of them? Could you show what you unclicked to get the RAM out and how you push it back in so I don't break something? The Devil is in the Details.
They're the same speed...they have to be. This laptop only uses 1333MHz. That said, I'm, pretty sure the timings are different. I don't need 2 more GB, and I'd rather just have matching pairs.
Yeah it's not terrible. Would have been nice to have the Quadro but oh well, it runs cooler and has better battery life so I'm not complaining. Oh, right haha
it WILL work, all ddr3 ram is compatible with each other pretty much i use a 512mb stick and a 2gb stick in my mecbok and it works fine, the 512mb stick and the first 512mb of the 2gb stick is dual channel, the other 1.5gb is single channel
there are latest ddr5 ram,ddr4 ram,ddr3 ram,ddr 2 ram, ddr 1 ram. which kind of ram can be inserted into Dell Latitude e6420 series laptop. and which kind of SSD can be inserted into it. sata 3 or 2. do its motherboard has a slot for nvme ssd.thanks.
hey i want your advice, i have 6 dells now, and i want an older dell laptop for network tweaking and management, do you have any ideas of what model i should get? i would really like it to be a dell. and not horribly underpowered. Thanks!
This is a dumb question but are there different types of ddr3 ram? like a laptop or mobile version as opposed to a desktop ddr3? I have 4 gigs of ddr3 ram laying around and I want to buy one of these with 2 gigs of ram since they're like $50 less than the same laptop with 4 gigs for some reason.
this is an odd question. and I doubt you even know the answer but...do you think this laptop can run ps2/gamecube emulators without much lag? my friend Josh is thinking about getting it and the ability to play emulators without lag is his main concern. neither of us have the laptop (he's thinking of getting it) so we can't test it...
EmperorZarikar It definitely can. I have this PC currently just using the default 4GB of RAM and I was able to run the Dolphin emulator perfectly. I could play Melee just fine, and I was even able to play Project M with nearly perfect FPS definitely at a highly playable level
Never once has mine crashed with 16gb ram.Pure rocket.Only prob i ever had was with an i7 that just gets way too hot no matter what you do to Kool it down.
so will 8gb ram and 2gb ram work in dual channel here? im just wondering if im about to swap my 8gb ram for one 2gb ram in my dell latitude. (i have 2X2 dual channel, i5 2540m and nvdia nvs 4200m)
Ryan Gehret just changed it and for some reason my 8 gb ram wasnt detected. I removed battery, one stick and one ram and then put 8gb ram into it. When i go to this pc it say 2gbs. Rip.
im from philippines hope you can help me....i have dell latitude e6420 4gb ram core i5 32bit by this specs can i run a adobe after effecs? or can i upgrade it like making it 64bt instead of 32 bit? and 8gb instead of 4gb ram?
Hey Ryan Gheret, how is there any other way i can increase my video memory on my e6430? and if there is'nt, how can i make my fifa 18 faster cause it works already but its slow. i need ur reply asap please
dude mine is runing 16 gb and other people from other sites confirm 32gb mine is icore 7 with 8 gb installed but in dell site say non expand more than 8 but well you know
@@accordinglyryan thanks for the tips.... I was thinking giving the laptop to my niece cause i already has a powerful desktop... I think ill just keep this n bought cheaper one to her😅😅 Thats just for study
No, because I bought one last year and it wasn't the greatest. If I buy a new laptop, it'll be a Latitude with extra shit, so well over $1000. This is fine for the next 2 years or so. Of course if I get an opportunity to buy a new one before then I will, but this is a pretty sweg laptop.
You should have put the other 2gb stick in since you wanted to have single channel RAM "Welcome to Dell3OH!3, home of ?!?! upgrades while headbanging to 3OH!3 music" from video /watch?v=zD6vyK_wq-I&t=1m23s
Well then, for about $150 you can get a Dell Latitude D630, those are good workhorse laptops. Just make sure you get one with Intel graphics (the nVidia ones die) For a bit more you can get a Latitude E6400.
Is there anyway to add a laptop gpu to this laptop? I got it and Intel had 3000 does the job but I can't play games really. Any help much appreciated and I will sub
hey man... idk if you will see this. but do U have an email I can email you at? I'm new to this and have a couple questions if u don't mind helping ouy
@@kevinanderson7736 having owned 4 of these paticular laptops I can say its completley true. You can install 16gb of ram and it will show up in the Windows System manager that it has 16gb, but when doing any kind of memory intensive tasks as soon as it hits 8gb of usage it will crash. So yes you can put 16gb in it, but like I said before it can only use 8gb.

Why skip the part of taking the bottom off? This was the most important part.
"jump cut" passed the part that I came to watch!!!
It's easy, just remove the screws, see --> ruclips.net/video/1ssMn5PvjA0/видео.html

probably because this Dell model is uncommon here in Brazil.
Indeed! Love this laptop, it's great.
Obviously that is an expensive purchase I don't need to make. This E6420 is very powerful, more than enough for me and can't argue for what I paid for it.
Can i install 8gb and 4gb ram in two slots?
Yes you can

That's some nice ram you got there. I see you got it in successfully....
No, HD3000. This is Sandy Bridge, the E6430 is Ivy and thus has HD4000
How much are you willing to spend?
So getting the bottom off, did you take every single screw out of just most of them? Could you show what you unclicked to get the RAM out and how you push it back in so I don't break something? The Devil is in the Details.
They're the same speed...they have to be. This laptop only uses 1333MHz.
That said, I'm, pretty sure the timings are different. I don't need 2 more GB, and I'd rather just have matching pairs.
why didnt you leave one 2gb stick in so you have 10gb, 4gb of it (2gb on each stick) in dual channel?
is that the hd4000?
sir will 1600 mhz 12800 work on this one or not compatible?
Eh, not really, but I wasn't going to wait until the RAM got more expensive to buy it.
Um....I don't know if you watched the video or something but I bought one 8GB stick. I could put another 2GB in there but what's the point?
Yeah it's not terrible. Would have been nice to have the Quadro but oh well, it runs cooler and has better battery life so I'm not complaining.
Oh, right haha
Is there a way to enable XMP or something like that after installing new RAM?
it WILL work, all ddr3 ram is compatible with each other pretty much
i use a 512mb stick and a 2gb stick in my mecbok and it works fine, the 512mb stick and the first 512mb of the 2gb stick is dual channel, the other 1.5gb is single channel
I do the exact same thing! I always put a micro fiber cloth under my laptop when working on it.
You could insert one 2GB stick to second slot and you would have 10GB.
I'm not entirely sure if it would work, since the modules are so different in capacity and such. I may try it one day for shits though.
can you send me a link where i can get to buy the 8gb ram
What if you add your older ram too in another slot?
i dont know much about this, what if i buy the 8gb ram and i let a 2gb ram that it has from fabric?
what happens??
there are latest ddr5 ram,ddr4 ram,ddr3 ram,ddr 2 ram, ddr 1 ram. which kind of ram can be inserted into Dell Latitude e6420 series laptop. and which kind of SSD can be inserted into it. sata 3 or 2. do its motherboard has a slot for nvme ssd.thanks.
what type of ram uses
Well....It depends on how much you can find one of these for. I got mine for pretty darn cheap ($300) so I couldn't pass it up.
Why don't you just record you undoing the screws and speed it up?

how much did the RAM cost? Also were did you get from? Amazon Ebay? Should I just go on a bidding sight to get it?
Get your RAM unit from a trusted dealer on a official website
Thanks a lot. im going to go for the Latitude E6400.
hey guys i have E6420 latitude with I5 processor 2520M and i have installed 16GB of Ram and it works Fine

Ryan Gehret edit, i removed my 2gb and got 8gb. Thx for tutorial.
its decent for a embedded GPU - flash is mainly CPU heavy - you can play the most intense flash games on a Core Duo with a gma 500 haha
What do you actually do on that laptop to even need 8 GBs of ram?
It's not so bad...it plays Minecraft, Halo Combat Evolved, and those stupid little flash games so good enough for me, lol
thx a lot for the video , btw is it safe to use TWO sticks of 8 gb ram ? , because the official specifications refers to 8 gb max !
+mohammad ahmad Yeah you can, it should support 16GB.

Yep!
i put a 8GB stick in the lower slot and the old 4GB stick in the upper slot and it is working perfect! 12GB RAM. :-)

It's integrated, there is no way to upgrade it. So what you wanna do is get a laptop with more power. This thing isn't built for gaming.
@@accordinglyryan what about upgrading the RAM to about 12gb, will that help?

I hate low intel graphics score. Should be atleast 7
Noice such an old video xD
Whats the dell box behind de pc ?
Zumo de piña!! it's a docking station for the laptop. it expands the ports of the laptop and allows for additional displays. etc.
