Just I would like know if I change the SSD the warranty will expire?.
At the same time please can I upgrade the RAM to 16 GB DDR3L? which is the Maximun RAM Upgradable?
Best regards

Hi, Christian:
Yes, if you replace the hard drive or memory, the warranty will be voided as neither component is a DIY (do it yourself) project.
Please see the service manual at the link below, chapter 6 for the authorized service center removal and replacement procedures for those components.

Replace HDD with SSD for HP ENVY 15t-j000 Quad Edition Notebook PC

I'd like to buy a HP ENVY 15t-j000 Quad Edition Notebook PC and a HP v300a 120GB SATA Solid State Drive with Upgrade Kit.
Now the SSD has a 7mm thickness.
My question is if I can replace the HDD with this SSD? How thick is the HDD bay in the laptop.
If it's more than 7mm will the SSD move inside it?
Thanks
This question was solved.

Hi,
The old HDD on your machine is a bit thicker but with at least 4 screws I don't think new SSD will floating around in the case. I actually put new SSD in one of my laptop (not HP) and no problem BUT I don't move this laptop around. If needed, blue tac may help.

Envy 17i replace HDD with SSD

I just purchased a new Envy 17t quad core touch screen with a 1 TB HDD 5400 rpm. At the same time i purchased a new Samsung 840EVO 500 GB SSD with the intent of replacing the slower HDD with the faster SSD. I figured it would be an easy switch (I replaced the drive in my older laptop without any issues). I figured it would be a few screws and a small panel removed from the underneath the laptop and everything would be done.
But after I received the new machine, got everything setup and running and moved the information from the HDD to the SSD, I turned everything off and turned the machine over and alas… there are no panels (as described in the documentation) as I was expecting. It just one siingle piece!
How do I get to the HDD to replace it? Am I supposed to remove all the screws and remove the entire bottom or does the top (where the keyboard is) pop off and you have access through the top?
Help!

Then the correct model number is 17t-k000 and the videos I linked above I apply to you.

Swapping HDD with SSD (+Software Cloning)

Hi all,
I've been wanting to swap the 2011 MacMini's HDD with an SSD drive. I am currently running Windows 7 on the mini. What would be the best way to clone everything from the current MacMini internal HDD to the new SSD before the swap? Also, are any additional parts (cables etc.) needed to install the SSD or is everything inside reusable?
Thanks.

Please note that changing the hard drive is not considered
a user servicable function, only changing RAM is and therfore
will void your warranty (clearly stated in the user manual).
Just needed to put in that disclaimer so that you were aware.
You haven't stated, but I am assuming you are using Win7
in a Bootcamp partition, which will complicate things.
There are many SATA to USB adapters out there, so you will
want to get one of them. You will eventually neeed Winclone
(free) to put the Win7 volume on the new drive. Also, to be safe,
get a USB stick.
Cloning the OSX stuff will be simple.
1. Create a Recovery volume on the USB stick by first
      downloading Lion Recovery Assistant. Should do this
      any way whenther changing hard drives or not.
2. Connect the SSD with the SATA adapter while booted
      into the current system and Partition with GUID scheme
      and format with Mac OSX journalled.
3. With your Recovery USB stick plugged in, reboot holding
      down Option key.
4. When presented with the boot selection, select the USB recovery
      stick.
5. Once things load up select Disk Utility and do a Restore
      from the internal volume to the external. This will clone
      the Recovery HD as well as the OSX install.
6. Have lunch, do laundry or whatever as this will take awhile.
7. When the Restore is complete, as a quick check, reboot
      holding the Option key and select the newly cloned volume
      to insure it is bootable. It will take time to boot since it is USB
      but a good check before putting it in the case.
8. If all is well, you can swap your drives.
9. Next, boot to the new internal an run Bootcamp and create your
      Windows partion, follow through to the Win7 install and from
      the windows installer format the partition to NTFS but then
      quit the installer after this is complete.
10. Next, plug your old drive into the SATA adapter and run Winclone.
       You should be able to select the external WIndows partition
       as the source and the internal Windows patition as destination
       and just clone.
1 through 7 will definately get you OSX and Recovery HD on the new drive
and the rest "should" get you Windows.

[MBP - 2008, 4,1] Best way to replace HDD with SSD

Looking to upgrade my 2008 Macbook pro with a new SDD.
What is the best way to install a SDD while still saving the data from my HDD? I've heard it's possible to clone the hard drive, place the info on the SDD, and then boot with it. I've tried my best googling it, but I can't seem to figure out how I would connect my SSD to my computer while the HDD is still installed? I don't have an external drive with SATA connections.
If I do have to do a clean boot with the SDD (After saving important documents on an external drive), would I need my OSX disks? It's been a long 4 years with this computer and don't think there is any chance of recovering the OSX boot disks. Is there a way to download these necessary to do a clean boot?
Thanks for helping a misguided student trying to speed up his laptop!

You have two basic options. First is simply replace the HDD with the SSD. Second is to remove the optical drive, move the HDD to the space where the optical drive was (you need a mounting kit for this) and install the SSD where the HDD was installed.
Visit OWC to see the various options they have that includes the special mounting kit, SSD, and installation tutorials.
If you go with the first option then you will need an external notebook drive enclosure in which to put the HDD when you replace it with the SSD.
As for cloning that is done as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Be sure you prep the SSD properly:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your old HDD. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
I would also recommend upgrading your OS to Snow Leopard. You will need at least 1 GB of installed RAM for Snow Leopard.

Changing HDD to SSD, what are the options?

hi, guys, new to the forum, I just bought a thinkpad x130e during an on sale event at one of the local retailer, pretty excited, since i like the rugged design.
I am looking at an upgrade from 320G HDD to a 128G SSD... but i don't have any windows 7 installation disc handy, so what are the options for me to install the operating system (windows 7).
I don't know if there is a way to transfer the whole system from HDD to SSD? will there be any trick to perform? or simply i just have to purchase new copy of windows?
cos i noticed i do have a windows7 pro product key at the bottom of my thinkpad, i kinda don't want to waste the money.
please help..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You don't need to purchase another copy of Win7. You will need
1. SSD. This must be 7mm thick, not the more common 9.5mm thick.
2. USB enclosure for your HDD,
3. Software to "clone" the contents of your HDD to your SSD. Acronis True Image is a well-regarded package that does this. There are also some free utilities that can do this, however, I'm not familiar with them.
Procedure:
1. Move the HDD to the external enclosure.
2. Put the SSD in the X130e.
3. Reboot from the HDD. (You'll need to interrupt boot with Blue ThinkVantage button to specify.)
4. Install Acronis (or equivalent.)
5. Perform disk clone operation. You will need to tell the software how you want to resize partitions since you're going to a smaller disk.
6. Reboot from SSD.

HDD or SSD not found on Envy dv7

Hello everyone, I recently had a 'broken' notebook HP Envy DV7-7350eb, which I recently installed a Win 7 pro x64 OS on.After installing some windows updates and all, windows wasn"t able to find a boot device anymore. It doesnt display the DVD drive to boot from when I press the F9 button, but seems to boot from it though..But the HDD won't display on the boot device selection. I've tried to adjust everything in the BIOS (legacy support on/off, secure boot on/off, boot from USB drive instead of win7 installation disc) I've looked up the HP support site for getting the latest BIOS update but can't seem to find a new BIOS update.. Anyone have more suggestions? or where I can download a BIOS update maybe? Thanks in advance to hopefully help me out here!

Changing HDD to SSD on my X1

Hi, I am new to this forum.
I am considering changing the original HDD on my X1 to a SSD. Is it just a simple removal of HDD and plugging in the SSD in the same slot as the HDD?
My next question is how to format the new SSD and install Win7 on it? The X1 did not come with a Win7 disk.
Thank you.

Hi hon,
What are you warranty options?
The size of the SSD you'll need is 2.5" wide and 7mm high.
The side spacers are in the sytem, all you doing is replacing the drive.
The SSD should be formatted by the installation of Windows 7.
You can create recovery media from your current drive and store it to an external DVD writer, USB, or HHD/SSD.
At least 16 gig is recommended.
If you are unable to create the recovery media you can contact the tech support center and have it sent to you.

Changing HDD for SSD QUESTION (U410)

Is any data held on the 500GB drive at time of reset?
Basically my question is, can I simply swap the 500gb HDD for a 250gb SSD without problems of so when I reset the Windows8 install etc will work as usual?
I will use the one click recovery button, and reset everything, except this time on the 250gb SSD.
HELP?

hi shoutingdog,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
First Before you change any setting or setup,
Create a backupdrive first of your WIndows 8 using this Method and let's Name that as your Repair Image.
Download and install belarc advisor to get the product key.
The HDD will have everything, your Windows 8 Os and even the Onekey Recovery Partition, so removing your HDD will render the One click recovery button Not working.
Two ways to install windows 8 back to the blank SSD.
1 You will need an external mount for your SSD or HDD where the scenario should be both SSD and HDD are connected to the computer so you can clone the HDD to your SSD.
(If the clone failed then you can use the Repair Image)
2 You can use a retail copy or any installer copy of Windows 8 and install that to your SSD, if asked for a product key, use the Key extracted using the Belarc advisor.
Any driver needs you can download from Support.lenovo.com
Again The Preloaded HDD Contains the Recovery partition, and the One click feature will look for the HDD where it is saved.
Best Regards
Solid Cruver

Change HDD to SSD in iMac of 2008

Hi.
I have an iMac of 2008 and I would like to change the HDD because it was broken.
I was thinking to change it for an Solid State Drive de 240 GB in orther to obtain more performance.
Specifically I was thinking in OXZ Agility 3 of 240GB unit of 2.5''. Is it possible to do this or this drive will not work?
If it was posible, I will need and 2.5'' to 3.5'' adaptor, right?
To complete the information, these are the links to the products I'm thinking to buy:
OCZ Agility 3 240GB
OCZ SSD 3.5" Adaptor Bracket 2
Thanks.

There are a number of ifixit videos out there for a primer on what you will encounter. The front screen is held on with little magnets, it lifts off easily with a couple of suction cups. The LCD panel is held in with lots of screws. I found it a bit easier to take out the RAM before removing the chassis. The only problem I encountered was that the leads to the LCD panel were VERY short and unplugged themselves before I could mark them (they weren't color coded or labeled in any way). Take your time some of the videos suggest that you can do this in 15-20 minutes. Well, maybe if you get to practice it a few times but I would expect to spend 1.5 to 2 hours. While you are in there get all the dust out. Check your fan impellors for dust buildup, it coats the blades. You need to be in a clean environment and have the proper tools, you'll need some torx drivers, you can get them online.

Replacing the HDD with SSD and reinstalling Mountain Lion

Hello,
I have a MacBook (Mid 2010) since August 2010. Since then, I have been using Time Machine and every time Apple releases a new OS, I download it from the Mac App Store and put it on a USB so that I can boot from it, whether to reinstall the OS or in case I faced Hard Drive problems.
My HDD is dying slowly, so I planning to get an SSD. The version of Mountain Lion that I have on the USB is 10.8.
The question is, do I have to download a newer version of Mountain Lion (say 10.8.3) from the Mac App Store knowing that I will be restoring from Time Machine?
Thank you..

Since you want to restore what's on TM to the SSD, the SSD needs to be booted from to receive the restored files and to do that, the SSD has to have an OS on it. And since you'd want to have the SSD's OS updated to the latest ML version eventually, you might as well do that first, since, to some degree, it's also a test of the SSD's functioning. Since you already have the Combo updater, you could just run that, and since it's only a bit over 800 MB, it might even fit on the flash drive. I don't believe that migrating from a TM file made by and containing 10.8.3 data would be problematic when initiated from a 10.8.0 installation (which is I think what you're asking), but there may be some subtle software changes we don't know about that could come back and bite. So starting the migration after updating to 10.8.3 would be the safest bet. At the same time, Setup Assistant brings your existing account stuff over to just reestablish your existence on the SSD, while Migration Assistant is run after a new account has been set up on first boot, so I'd think Setup Assistant is the better way to go.
In which case, how about this: when you run the Combo updater, you are given a choice of which drive you want to install it on. If I remember the sequence correctly (it's been a while since a fresh install), you run the installer, which transfers files to the target disk, and then reboot. The installation takes place on the target disk which then reboots again to begin the setup process. When the startup chime sounds the second time, use the option key to run Startup Manager and pick your flash drive to boot from again. If you already have the Combo updater on the flash drive, run it from there and pick the SSD as the target. When it's finished, if it doesn't start from the SSD, choose that as the Startup Disk (check to see that it says 10.8.3 in Preferences) and when it boots, start the Setup Assistant process using TM.
Or is the flash drive only an installer, meaning it doesn't actually have ML installed on it so you can't use it like an actual boot disk from which you can do normal boot disk things?

Replacing Pavilion g7-2233cl HDD with SSD?

I cannot recommend a 60 gig drive. A basic install of Windows is going to run about 20 gigs and you are going to have hibernation files and restore files, apps (MS Office is 10 gigs plus) and such and before you know it the drive will be full. You actually can't fill it 100% so the real capacity is about 55 gigs tops. Yes, I am going to say get a 128 gig. Here is a 128 gig for not very much extra money:

Desperately need full copy of OS X for MBP13 which won't boot...Repl HDD with SSD, won't clone due to defective source. Can I downloaded OS x onto a PC, burn a disc and get it onto the MBP?!?

The 320 HDD started clicking and making noises which can't be good. Bought a new SSD and attempted cloning, I get the Inout/Output error. So what everyone is telling me is to get a new copy of OS X and then reinstall the applications. This has turned into a nightmare and PC's are looking better again. It will not update OSX from the web, times out. I have been on Apple Support all weekend and have no more time to give, keep going in circles...is OS X available to be downloaded without purchasing because I alre\dy own it !!!!!!!!!. Thanks for listening and any help! Much appreciated!

Slightly off topic, but for anyone who's read this post and is not maintaining a bootable backup as they read this:
1. Purchase an external drive that is the same capacity of your internal boot drive.
2. Run a utility that creates a bootable backup on a weekly basis (or a dialy basis) like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.
If you keep and use your computer long enough, the day will come that the internal boot drive will start "clicking and making noises which can't be good".
When this day finally comes, go to the System Preferences, open Starup Disk, choose your bootable backup and restart.
If your internal drive is named "Macintosh HD", name the bootable backup something simple like "Macintosh HD Backup".
You can still run Time Machine and you can still use the Mac OS X Recovery options; however, you minimize downtime significantly with a current, bootable backup on hand.

Replace existing HDD with SSD on a T530 - noob question

Hi all,
I have a T530 with conventional hard disk. I want to replace it with an SSD (probably Samsung 840 Pro). When I look at the replacement instructions on the website, they refer to the use of spacers when installing an SSD (as opposed to the rubber rails which apparently bracket my current HDD).
Do I need these spacers in order to install an SSD? If so, do I have to buy them from Lenovo?
Many thanks
Jason
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If its the same outside dimensions you transfer the rubber rails onto the replacement drive. They add shock protection to the drive although an SSD is pretty shock proof. It must not float around though!! If you don't use the rails you'd lose them and probably never find them again when needed.

the T400 supports SATA2 mode. Unless you need constant high speed hdd access, then you should get the SSD, otherwise, i will just invest in a high quality 7200 rpm SATA drive.
If you are planning to get the SSD you should get the latest generation one, also you would need a 1.8 inch to 2.5 inch hdd mount adapter, otherwise the ssd won't fit in the T400 hdd slot.
