    Thanks for the tutorial! Some of the other tutorials for upgrading your ram in laptops here on youtube say that you should remove the battery or make sure there is no power to the motherboard before changing the ram so that you do not short circuit your computer. Is there a reason why you don't do that? Have you noticed any problems? Is it possible on your computer? How do I do that with a battery that is non-removable?

    Does the new ram has to be the same speed as your current ram speed? I have 8gb 2666 ddr4 but can I buy 2400? as they are cheaper.

    • @nickscomputerfix
      @nickscomputerfix  5 лет назад

      The speed does not need to match. However, all of the RAM speed will downgrade/run at the lowest RAM speed that is installed in your system. In other words, if you install the RAM 2400 then the existing 8gb 2666 ddr4 will run at 2400 too.

    Hello sir, I have an Acer Travelmate p215-52g it has 2 slot of ram upgradable at max. 64 gbs. My initial memory is 4gb adn I want to add another 4gb to make a total 8gbs of ram. My question is, since the motherboard of my laptop is not like the aspire, do I need to remove the battery first? Or I straight up put the additional ram on it?

    • @nickscomputerfix

      You can insert additional RAM without removing the battery. But first make sure the laptop is completely and fully powered off and the AC charging cable is not plugged into the laptop.

    Can I use 8gb ram for Intel Pentium A1018 @ 2.10ghz? Also can I use ddr3l 1600mhz instead of ddr3 1600 mhz?

    Hello, My HP pavilion has a few screws on the front of the laptop. It has 4gb ram and an extra slot which I would like to put 8gb ram in. I would like to know if unscrewing these will reveal the cpu, ram, motherboard ect...
    If anyone could reply and tell me it would be pretty epic

      What exactly do you mean by "on the front"?
      Normally, CPU, RAM, GPU (if any) etc are only visible when opening the notebook from the backside

    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. But I do have a question. My bank says 2 banks of 1, which means I have two slots, but only one is occupied. Do I need to buy two slots to upgrade to 16 or just one to upgrade to 16? I have 8gb installed right now. (I don't want to like confuse the system with two different branded memory slots).

    • @nickscomputerfix
      @nickscomputerfix  3 года назад +1

      Based on what you have described, just one additional stick of compatible 8GB RAM that you would insert into the empty slot will work OK. This will give you a total of 16GB RAM.

    That's was very helpful, thank you
    When I made the scan it wrote the following:
    Slots: 2 (2 banks of 1)
    Maximum Memory: 16GB
    *Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory.
    Standard Memory: 8GB removable
    4GB
    4GB
    So, does that mean I have two slots to add memory chips in them however it cannot exceed 16GB in total?
    Thank you again I wanted this tutorial for a long time

    • @nickscomputerfix

      It's telling you that you have 2 slots available for memory. That you have one stick of 4GB of removable memory in each slot and that your max memory for your computer is 16GB. And in order to upgrade to max of 16GB, the 2 sticks of 4GB would need be replaced with 2 sticks of 8Gb each (1 single 8GB sick in each slot) for total of 16GB.

    You mean , if you were going to upgrade , then you have to remove the 4gb removable?

    Also be shure to check the type of specs your old ram sticks has. For me i was using so-dimm memory for laptops. I was installing it into a laptop that only supported PC3l NOT PC3. But unfortunately i ordered pc3 so-dimm ddr3 memory and the laptop did not start it just kept posting.

      @@lavendxrfz2003 Just look up the ram stick online by scanning it's barcode. Then find a website that will give you detailed information. You won't realy need to worry since most ram these days are compatible. It's really just on ebay we're you need to be a bit more careful.

    I'm using a laptop which has 4gb ram at the moment, and I wish to add more ram
    The scanner shows below:
    Slots: 1 (1 bank of 1)
    Maximum Memory: 20GB
    Standard Memory: 4GB (non-removable)
    Can I add another 4gb ram on it to make it a total of 8gb ram? Please reply~ Thanks!

    • @nickscomputerfix
      @nickscomputerfix  5 лет назад +2

      If your Slot: 1 (1 bank of 1) is empty then yes you can add another 4GB to get a total of 8GB.

    Does it matter if it runs on the same speed, is it possible to get a higher speed my laptop currently has a 4gb 2133 ddr4. Also can i put in a dual-rank or should i leave it as a single rank?

    • @nickscomputerfix
      @nickscomputerfix  5 лет назад

      They can be different RAM speeds, but the RAM speed will run at the lowest RAM used.

    • @nickscomputerfix

      Not all laptops/desktops support that RAM speed. Your computer will only run at the max RAM speed it supports.
