HP 240 G3 Laptop RAM Upgrade Help

Hi! I just purchased a HP 240 G3 laptop, and would like to upgrade RAM to 8 GB.Here are the laptop specs as obtained from HP support assistant: Model: HP 240 G3 Notebook PCProduct No.: M1V30PA#ACJProcessor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3540 @ 2.16GHzOS: Win 8.1Current RAM: 2GB Hynix Semiconductor 1333MHz (DDR3) Can I go for a 8GB Transcend 1600 MHz, or should I just get 1333 MHz?Laptop supports upto 8 GB as per seller's brochure.There is only one slot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Cheers.

Here is the Manual: Service manual The Manual actually says if I am reading it right that the Bay Trail models have 2 memory slots. I am skeptical. Does yours have a service cover for the memory? If not, it is going to require motherboard removal to get to it. It appears that DDR3L-1600 memory is compatible with all versions of this model of laptop although some will downclock to 1333. The Official HP Part number for an 8 gig module is: 8-GB (PC3L, 12800, 1600-MHz) 693374-001 If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

HP Envy 13 1030nr. Windows 7 64-bit. RAM upgrade help.

I just purchased a RAM upgrade for my Envy 13 and I was trying to figure out how exactly to access the memory module. I couldn't find a youtube video for the Envy 13 and reading the maintenance manual provides only partial instructions to access the memory module. It tells you what you need to do (Disconnect the TouchPad cable 2 from the low insertion force (LIF) connector on the system board) but not how to do it without damaging the computer. I don't want to permanently sever a cable or anything so I'm looking for help via a link to a video or more detailed instructions on exactly how to safely access the memory module.
I was under the impression that this would be a quick replacement, but the more I read the manual, the more I think that this is going to be a little more complicated than opening up the bottom and removing the current RAM chip and replacing it with the one I have. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the Manual:

Memory is indeed on the motherboard and getting there requires nearly complete disassembly. See Page 4-26. Not sure how this qualifies as "easy" and if you have not done this before you should get some help. And yes, keep careful track of those screws.

Will a ram upgrade help this computer.

Its running OSX 10.10.2 will a ram upgrade drastically help the performance, it is currently using 1.98 GB of 2 GB of ram when idle, any help would be appreciated 4 GB of ram needed or push it to 6 GB I read on OWC that it can accept 6 GB clarification on that would help. Sorry for the weird question I am a linux/windows user and I am not very knowledgeable with OSX.

2GB of RAM is the minimum system requirements to run Yosemite, 10.10.x. To get a better user experience upgrade the RAM on the 2008 iMac to 6GB, OWC (www.macsales.com) makes a kit for doing so. The link is listed below. You can also contact Crucial.com and they will sell a 1x2GB DIMM and a 1x4GB DIMM (6GB total) however they don't sell the two together as a kit.
The machine currently has 2 x 1GB DIMMs installed, therefore to get to 6GB both DIMMs need to be replaced.

Hi:
I sure hope so, since you ordered first and asked questions afterward.
Yes, if that is what your PC's memory specs state, that memory you ordered should work just fine.
There are several HP 1301 tx notebooks out there, so I don't know which one you have.

I'm running the factory installed Windows 8. Can I load a 4GB RAM into that slot instead? Am I just not seeing the 2nd slot? There appears to be soom copper thing screwed into the location where I would have expected to se a second RAM slot, and the copper continues up to the cooling fan. I wanted to increase the RAM to 8GB to see if it helps with performance (which is slow) but now became confused when I saw what I described above. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! Mark

Battery not recognised after ram upgrade - Help!

I just attempted a Ram memory upgrade that worked fine, but my battery stopped being recognised.
The battery was fine before, even so - I bought a new one (I tested in a different computer - it worked there) - still doesn`t work.
I decided to put back the old RAM - still no working Battery.
Reseted the SMC and the NVRAM 500 times and nothing changes.
Already have the latest Firmware (Efi and SMC) for quite a long time, can`t reinstall it or downgrade it (due to apple.). Apparently CD firmware restauration not available to my model ( original installation cd don`t work beacuse it is a previous version of firmware?)
What else can I do?
Is there any way to force a firmware installation ?

Mac Mini Ram Upgrade Help!

Hey Apple Users
Just bought my first Mac computer about 7 months ago, The minimac. Now this little monster is fast still for only 1gb of ram, and i'm running all high end Adobe softwear that requires 2 gb or more on regular computers, but she started to lag alittle using Adobe Premiere Pro cs4, so i decided to buy 4 gb of ram from ebay(brand New). I got the ram took my mini apart, did everything proper, destaticed myself etc and installed the 2 ram chips. after i went to boot up I got 1 Beep and a light every 10 secs maybe? So first thing i thought the ram was defective, So i tested the ram with my 1 gb in one slot and a 2 gb in the other and she booted fine and showed 3 gb ram. I tested the other 2 gb as well and worked fine. Don't understand why they wouldn't work together. So i said *** i'll just use 3gb instead and have a back up if the other 2 gb fails. Now after 2 hours of using my computer she froze solid, so i restarted and then i got a grey screen, 3 lights/3beeps. This means ram not recongized as far as i'v learned I may be wrong, so now i'm back with just my 1 gb in my comp running fine. Any ideas what could be the problem here?

Well, i'm In university for Graphic Design and they gave me this Minimac, brand new as a part of my Tuition. I started school in September so it's a few months old. Is there away I could figure information like this out by using About this Mac, under finder?

Envy M4-1015dx RAM Upgrade Help

Hi,
I recently purchased 2 sticks of 8GB ram to replace the 2 sticks of 4GB currently in my Envy m4-1015dx notebook. But, I'm not sure where I need to open the laptop at.

Thanks

You'll need to eject the battery and then remove the service panel on the bottom. You can see the illustrated parts in the manual posted above. Let me know if you need anything else.

Adding RAM will help especially for graphics and number crunching applications. You will no longer get the out of memory warnings. Windows 7 is happier with more memory.
Be advised that there are only two soDIMM slots for memory in a notebook. That means you will have to replace the current memory modules with two 2 GB memory modules to achieve 4 GB of installed memory.
I recommend only purchasing guaranteed compatible memory modules.
That way you won't have disappointments ( blue screens or black screens) after new module installation and attempting to boot into Windows.
The better memory modules are made by manufacturers such as Kingston (model KTH-ZD8000B/2G • DDR2-667 / PC2-5300 • 1.8V)
As for the cost: You will have to find your own local supplier by searching online .

I have a Presario CQ56-115DX. I attempted a ram upgrade now I only get bsod.Help?

I recently attemptede a ram upgrade to 2-4 GB PC3 DDR3 1066Mhz modules but the notebook would not turn on(aka.....black screen and no sound, just blinking caps lock). I then put the original RAM back into the previously working pc and it blue screened. I attempted a system repair with a factory OEM of windows 7 but it was unsuccessful. The error tells me to remove or uninstall newly added software or hardware. I ran a memtest from bios on both the memory and the hard drive which detected no problems. I reformatted the hard drive and attempted a reinstall but the computer blue-screened during installation before the files were even installed. Could someone please help?

Try install with just one memory module installed, try the other slot if it does not work on the first try.

Ram Upgrade for T60

Hi,
I have IBM T60 laptop with 1 GB ram. I want to upgrade the ram to 2 GB. According to the lenovo site I need to install this ram
2GB PC2-5300 NP DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM.
40Y77352GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62761
Should we have to install the ram recommended by IBM/Lenovo for T60.
Are there any alternatives from a different company.

Welcome to the forum!
Any laptop RAM spec'd at PC5300 or higher will work. You can shop around for the best deal you can find. FYI, IBM or Lenovo don't manufacture their own RAM sticks, but get it from other companies (Hynix, Samsung, Elpida, Micron) and re-brand it.
Hope this helps.

George

Battery drains while sleeping after RAM upgrade

Installed 16 GB of RAM and a Hybrid/SSD 1 TB internal HD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012 and now the battery drains while the computer is in sleep mode, about 1-3 % per hour. Before the RAM upgrade (stock 4 GB of RAM) there was no noticeable battery drain, so I assume it has to do with the upgrade. I read that it takes more power to maintain 16 GB of RAM during sleep, so my questions are as follows:
Is 1-3% per hour normal?
Will resetting the SMC help the issue?
Does the Hybrid HD have anything to do with this?
I am not too happy about the battery drain as it happens that I don't use my laptop for some time and prior to the upgrade the loss of battery charge was not an issue at all. Is this the price I have to pay for maxing out my RAM or is there a way (resets, settings, etc) to reduce the amount of battery loss
Thanks for your input.

Hi everybody. I have the same question. I have a macbook unibody late 2008. I have recently upgraded the OS to Yosemite. In order to have a smoother functioning of the system I have immediately replaced my original 2Gb (1+1) RAM with 8 Gb (4+4). Since then, I have noticed a dramatic reduction of my battery charge during sleep mode. Now after 8 hours of sleep it goes from 100% to around 65% (before it was 95%). Is it a natural consequence of having installed a larger RAM or there could be anything wrong with my settings?
I have read a couple of articles about standby mode and standbydelay setting but this does not apply to my model of macbook.
Here is my pmset -g result:
Active Profiles:
Battery Power        -1*

Lenovo G40 ~ 70 ram upgrade problem

I bought a lenovo G40 ~ 70 laptop and I wanted to upgrade my ram.It contains 4gb ram and I wanted to upgrade it to 8gb .What type of ram card should I buy and after the upgrade will my computer have problems? thank you.

Hi Ayato,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are looking for RAM upgrade for your Lenovo G40-70 laptop.
As per the specification of this model , the maximum memory supported by this model is upto 16GB DDR3L 1600Mhz.Hence I would suggest you to look into DDR3L RAM as the RAM slots in the laptop will only support the same. And "L" in DDR3L refers to low voltage.
Click here for the model specification.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
Best regards,

Lenovo Z50-70 Ram upgrade

Hi guys, I just got a z50-70 and i would like to upgrade the ram from 8GB to 16 GB, what SODIMM and MHZ do i use to get max performance. I don't know much about the clock rate on the RAM or the GPU nor the CPU cuz i know if they are all in sync with one another the computer runs like a charm (AND FASTER) but right now i just dont have the time to investigate all the specs of the components in this laptop. PLEASE HELP, i prefer SAMSUNG RAM cuz of its reliability. But due to my studys i just need an upgrade ASAP.....THANX ;-)

You can refer to Z50-70 hardware maintenance manual for tested brand, basically the max RAM supported is 2x8 GB PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) and to enable dual channel, be sure to use the same brand and chipset for both modules or just get a sold "matched-pair" or 16GB-2x8GB bundled modules.
