Thanks James. Saved me a lot of trouble. My girlfriend's Laptop has 1.5 Gig total. Bought 1 Gig upgrade chip to take it up to 2 Gig. but was surprised to see only one DIMM slot (Instead of the usual 2) when I opened the bottom. Wondered if the other half gig was built into the motherboard or was installed somewhere else inside. Your video made me know for sure. Thanks again dude.
Well, I enjoy videos like these. Videos of anything with installations and or taking apart and opening up computers of any kind is just plain fun for me to watch. So thanks again for uploading. Hope you can do another like this on a different computer sometime.
Compaq says your maximum memory is 3GB... Take one of the 1GB sticks out and put in 2GB. Do this while the computer is off, then boot it up and it should work. If not, this is very common, and you need to re-install Windows. (I have to do this all the time when I upgrade.)
I sold this computer about 3 years ago, but it should be pretty easy if I remember correctly. I think there is one screw that needs to be removed, and then it just pulls out.
Mine is July 2005. That's very odd. I have had my system board replaced by HP though...under warranty. They should have used the same board though... very weird.
I have the same laptop in the video, issue is the OM Thermal Management. Q- can I replace this and how, cost? or best to just go out and buy another laptop? Thanks Gordon
Could you do a video of resetting the LCD connections for the nc8000? I got one for free and the connection is coming lose. I'm not quite sure how to remove the plastics and such, I'm tech savvy, this is just difficult though.
sir, I have a HP Compaq NC 8230 the DVD does not work. I want to replace it with a DVD/RW would it still work on the HP Compaq NC 8230 if it does can you show a video on how to install the DVD/RW on the computer
hi, I did everything when installing new ram (I had 1gb inside and then I putt another gig but the laptop doesn't recognize it, I had even switched them but again only the first one was recognized). Do you have any suggetions what to do?
You hopefully just have bad RAM. 2x 512MB is nothing these days anymore anyways, so I'd try to buy two 1GB chips to install (DDR2 1GB chips should be pretty cheap still). Technically it could be bad sockets, but that's not that likely.
I'm a school tech and you just saved me a lot of important time today .... Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Saved me a lot of frustration.
This was a fun video for me to watch.... Thanks for posting it.
Thanks! This was helpful to take the heat sink and fan out so that we could clean some dust out.
It's probably either too much for the computer to handle, or it's defective. Unless there is a setting in your BIOS to put a cap on the usable RAM.
thank you that was very helpfull! now i have 2 gig ram in it... and you have a subscriber. :)
Thanks mate! Really easy to understand!
Awesome!! Thanks for the video! You saved me a lot of time.
@opa435 I would love to, but I haven't had a nc8000 series in over 2 years. It should be pretty simple, just start taking stuff apart. :) Good luck.
@skatzy 1 stick per socket, and according to HP, only 1GB per socket will work. I never tried a 2GB piece.
Many thanks James !! :))
thanks so much this isthe video i was just looking for

Great video thanks !!
Possibly... I can't find it online. Just open it up and find out.
@MrGordon121 Never heard of that, or had that issue. Sorry I can't help.
Thanks!
Thank you, I have several videos like this on my channel, if you like. Thanks!
Sure, check back in a day or two.

Hey brother, a question, how much is the limit that it supports in ram and in gigabytes for the hard drive?
hi, do you have media for how to Disassembly nx8220 laptop ? to reach and replace power jack ?

What does that mean?
can i put a 2gb and a 1g or jus have 1 2gb in one slot ?
@spzhob Bright enough, but not like Macs.
@ferfersoto No, sorry.
@bestproject Search around HP's site, they should be able to help you...
You can install -
512MB + 512MB
1GB+1GB
1GB+512MB
Do not install 2GB in one Socket, It will not work.
Thanks!
