      The color depends on the model of your notebook, some come with green some purple. These laptops don't have multicolor/RGB LEDs so cant change them in the BIOS or in software.

    Very good video, just notice that the internal orginal NVMe is quite a bad drive. The first few GB you copy the performances are good but then the drop of speed is embarrassing low (apparently once the cache is full) If you plan to use it to copy Video (or other kind of large) files on the road I really suggest that you change also the NVMe for a better model.

    Your videos are the best. I watched another video describing how to install the Ram in the laptop and he did not go through as much detail he also did not explain the different types of Ram and the different quality of the Ram. Plus they didn't make any mention about upgrading the hard drive. Nor did they mention using the software to find out what kind of Ram and performance of the Ram in their videos.

  • @Gonzora
    @Gonzora 2 года назад

    Hello.
    My girlfriend's laptop (which is also an Hp Pavilion gaming but equipped with a 1650 graphics card and a ryzen 5) is having problems, presumably the ssd is defective because Windows even refuses to be repaired.
    So I wanted to do a clean install on a new 2.5 format ssd hard drive. My problem is that the dummy hard drive screws are completely stuck. They are not broken and do not spin in a vacuum. Just... They don't move.
    I contacted a computer specialist and his estimate is 65€, which is expensive for what will take him a maximum of 20 minutes and which I could do myself without those damn stuck screws.
    So any idea how to unscrew the dummy hard drive slot? Could a electric screwdriver can solve the problem?
    EDIT : Well... I tried with an electric screwdriver and I'm at the same point. Note that the only other screws refusing to move in the laptop are those of the battery.
    I'm starting to wonder if it's a hidden defect / manufacturing defect or if Hp did it on purpose to prevent the upgrade.
    All I have to do now is return the 2.5 hard drive and order an nvme instead since the screw in this part doesn't resist me...
