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:
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.

  • HP dv6-6c75sa Windows 7 64-bit RAM upgrade

    I am running an HP dv6-6c75sa on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an Intel Core i3-2350M processor. My installed software is a combination of 32- and 64- bit compatible.
    When I purchased the computer, I installed a RAM upgrade which took the total onboard RAM to 8GB. Due to a system issue which I cannot now recall, a search query informed me that my system would only recognise 6GB of what I had installed.
    My computer is now 2 years old, and to extend its lifespan, and help it keep up with a recent software install which it cannot seem to cope with (Native Instruments Traktor 2, and Kontrol S4; I would like to make a new RAM upgrade.
    I think that the reason only 6GB of my 8GB installed was recognised, may have had something to do with the 32- vs. the 64-bit system, but I can't be sure.
    I know that the maximum RAM for Windows 7 Home Premium is 16GB. What changes could I make now that would allow my system to work at or near 16GB of RAM capacity?
    Also, where I have a mishmash of 32- and 64-bit software, on a clean install running 64-bit, I believe that I should be able to get all of my software running again. Are there any traps I should look out for that may hamper this.
    Do you think that my processor is the thing that is limiting my RAM capacity?
    I would appreciate your input.

    Hi @hyfpxm ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6c75sa  Notebook and concerns with system recovery.
    Here is a document on performing a system recovery. Here is a document on troubleshooting issues with performing a system recovery.
    Always back up important information before attempting a recovery.
    This system supports up to 8 GB DDR3  10600 1333-MHz and I would recommend 2- 4s. Here is a link to the manual page 60 for the memory. If the specs are correct for your memory I would reseat it.
    Use the built-in Windows System Information utility to view information on Operating System, CPU type and speed, 32Bit or 64Bit design, and installed RAM memory. The section marked Find specifications using Windows System information.

  • Will a ram upgrade help this computer.

    My family has a 2008 iMac that I never use but my father uses for pictures, Skype etc. The specs are as follows
    iMac
      Model Identifier:           iMac8,1
      Processor Name:           Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:           2.66 GHz
      Number of Processors:               1
      Total Number of Cores:               2
      L2 Cache:           6 MB
      Memory:           2 GB
    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.

  • HPG62-373D​X Notebook won't load Windows 7 after RAM upgrade

    Hi there. I recently upgraded the RAM in my mother's laptop from the OEM 3GB that was factory installed to a pair of 4GB Crucial sticks that were recommended by both HP and Crucial as optimal upgrades for this model. After installation, the unit will not boot into Windows; instead it loops the Windows System Repair message, but will not load any Windows files and simply continually reboots. If I go into the BIOS, the motherboard is seeing 8GB active, and both sticks pass the memory test with no problems--so the hardware is ok, but the OS isn't properly recognizing the memory. 
    Any ideas? I'd love any input on this issue. I reinstalled the original OEM RAM, and the system boots as normal. After doing that, I went into the support center and made sure the BIOS is updated to the latest version (it is), so I'm not really sure what might be keeping the operating system from recognizing this memory. 
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Hello Brian,
    Please take a look at this document, which provides information on upgrading RAM for this notebook.  Let me know if this helps resolve your issue of the RAM not being recognized by the notebook.
    Good luck!

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • How can I install Apple BootCamp with Windows 8 32-bit then upgrade to 64-bit?

    I am trying to install Apple Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, bought in early 2013. I have Windows 8 pro 32-bit install package and an install package for 64-bit upgrade.
    I received my Windows licenses for free (because I work for a nonprofit). I only have the Windows 8 Pro 32-bit install package. However, I also have the install package to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. The problem is that I can't install the Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on BootCamp to start and then upgrade.
    Is there a way to install Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on Apple BootCamp and then upgrade to 64-bit?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    bootcamp don't have any drivers for 32bit win8 I believe
    your best bet is to use virtualbox or another of the virtual machine software and install it there

  • Upgradeing oracle 9i Windows 32 bit to Oracle 10.2.0.3 Windows 64bit

    I have a DB in oracle 9.2.0.5. I have two questios
    1 ) How can I upgrade this to Widnows 64 bit oracle 10.2.0.3 without doing an export import.
    2) Is it possible to upgrade 9.2.0.5 straight to 10.2.0.3 Windows 64 bit without export import.
    My plan is to copy the 9i DB to Windows 10.2.0.3 64 bit server , startup upgrade, then run utlip.sql and utlrp.sql.
    Thank you

    Just copy the datafiles and upgrade your database directly onto your target system, that'll convert automatically your db in 64-bit :
    "+If you are installing 64-bit Oracle Database 10g software but were previously using a 32-bit Oracle Database installation, then the databases will automatically be converted to 64-bit during the upgrade to Oracle Database 10g except when upgrading from Release 1 (10.1) to Release 2 (10.2).+"
