@herox12five Hello! I upgrade my Ram by turning it off, not totally removing. So i just removed the connection of the battery to the motherboard. Then, I added one more ram, after that, I turned the battery on again by connecting to the motherboard. Nowadays, it works great!
may i ask, why does my laptop's screen occasionally got freeze and the lines of green pixels appear? this happen after i upgrade my laptop RAM at repair shop
Is disconnecting battery connection necessary or we can just upgrade it without disconnecting battery??? Will it damage laptop anyhow while upgrading Ram with battery connector not disconnected?
i have a few of silly noob questions: i saw for sale $40 stick of 1TB RAM. is there any catches? shall i get as much as possible, or 32GB shall be enough? will it affect the files on the laptop, temporary files and stuff, like tabs in my browser, etc.?
Don't buy, no such thing as a 1TB ram stick, especially not for $40. 32gb is more than enough for most laptops. If you're doing high end gaming or 3d rendering, then yes, more is better. And no, ram does not store long term data, so it will not affect your files.

There are differences between ddr3 and ddr4 so-dimm ram so you will need to check your laptop by either checking the spec sheet or speaking with the manufacturer and giving them the model number. Most modern laptops are so-dimm however there may be high end gaming/workstation laptops that use non so-dimm ram similar to a PC tower. Again check your laptop as there are hundreds and hundreds of different models and configuration.

Thank you so much for showing . This it so helpful and shows it is possible. Keep on going making video’s like this because that’s what we want to watch. Gave a nice thumb up for this.
I think you might be confusing memory with storage. If it's showing the correct amount of RAM, everything should be fine. Installing RAM will not affect your storage capacity.

Well of course not... There are different generations of memory over the past 25+ years. Modern computers usually have DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. RAM is neither backwards nor forwards compatible.
Before my laptop killed itself I was going to upgrade the ram because it had 2 slots (one extra). I had to buy a new laptop and found out that there was only one slot which was annoying.
I bought DDR3/DDR3L SODIMM for my DELL Latitude E6430 and I'm ready to upgrade it from 8GB to 16GB. I'm going to do the same to the Lenovo IdeaPad N580.

I’ve ripped apart many laptops to destructively sanitize them and found it interesting that laptops had their ram installed at an angle.

Maybe it wasn’t installed properly.
Are you upgrading from 1 ram to 2 ram modules? It will happen when the two rams isn't from a same brand

What if i somehow changed it yet it still shows the same amount of ram i had before changing it?
hmm, maybe restart?
Is it safe to use other type of ram for exemple I have a 16 gigs of ram stick on ddr5 if I use a DDR4 stick with more or less ram will it work ?
Ddr4 and ddr5 have different pins. So, if your motherboard supports ddr4 then it CANNOT have ddr5 vice versa

hey, if my laptop already has 8gb ram and i wanna upgrade it to 16gb, do i just need to buy one 8gb and add it or buy a 2x 8gb and replace the one thats already on it?
You don’t need to replace it
Also I’m pretty sure if you have 2x 8gb ram, it performs a little better then one 16gb ram.
My HP 15 with Windows 10 is terrible. It takes 5 minutes to respond when you click on something, 8 minutes to open Chrome.

Yes

Is upgrading ram don't need to unplug the battery??
Ive opeed my laptop CHUWI Corebook X to upgrde my ramt 32gb (16+16) but the ram is built in the laptops motherboard and for my deception there is no plus slot besides that i got a plus nvme slot so i only stretch my memory to 1Tb (512gb nvme ssd × 2)

What tool is used to remove the screws

wait so if i add ram, is that adding storage too or do i still buy more storage if i need it.
ram isnt storage is just is something that memorizes things from the cpu and directs it into stoage
If I have two RAM slots, do they both need to be the same size (both 16gb for example)?
