U310 RAM Upgradable? Voided Warranty?

Hi --
I am a tentative Lenovo buyer and was am set on getting the U310 Ultrabook. I do notice though that it only has 4 GB of RAM. I would ideally like to upgrade this upon getting the laptop. Is this possible? I have researched it and cannot find any answers for this particular model. I just do not want to buy the laptop and find out that it does not have an extra slot to upgrade the RAM so I am stuck with 4 gig. If this is the case, then I may just spring the extra $100 or so and get the U410 Ultrabook.
Secondly, will doing anything like this by myself void the warranty? I certainly would not like that to happen.
Let me know and if anyone has any advice on the U series; I'm hoping to buy today before this sale is over.
Thanks!

I just upgraded and wanted to share some notes. The quick answers are:
- Yes, opening the case voids the warranty (and needs to be done carefully)
- Yes, the machine can run 8GB of RAM
- and (bonus) you can use the mSATA SSD drive as a regular SSD drive--and upgrade it as well
The only potential hiccup is that you may need to flash BIOS version 65CN21WW for the RAM upgrade to work. Initially my machine would not boot or POST with the 8GB stick. After flashing this version things went smoothly (aside from needing to re-apply BIOS settings to get Windows 8 to boot again).
Here's more details:
- my machine is the non-touch screen i3 based system
- I used the Crucial memory advisor to locate the 8GB stick of RAM and a 240GB mSATA SSD
- There are useful YouTube videos showing how to remove the back panel. Basically you pry off the rubber feet, unscrew the 4 screws you'll find, then (VERY) carefully work your way around the space between the back panel and the silver plastic
For my dual-boot setup:
- Fully shutdown Windows (being sure not to use Intel Rapid Start--you want it to be a complete shutdown)
- In the BIOS disable IRST
- Switch the drives to AHCI mode in the BIOS (you'll need to reload Windows after doing this)
From there I installed Windows 8.1 to a 250GB partition on the 500GB spindle drive. Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 went on the entire SSD, with the other 250GB of the spindle drive available for slower-speed storage. With my increased storage I'll be considering if both OS's should reside on the SSD for performance, with extra storage on the larger drive.

Satellite E45t-A4300 - Does RAM upgrade void the warranty?

I have a 2-week old E45t-A4300. It comes with 6GB of RAM installed (2GB in one slot & 4GB in the other). It is advertised as accepting up to 16GB of RAM. I purchased and want to install an 8GB DDR3L chip in one of the slots while keeping the 4GB RAM chip in the other, giving me a total of 12GB of RAM. However, I have just been told by a Toshiba technical support rep that adding RAM will void my warranty. I've owned other laptops (Apple MacBooks and Acer) and was always been able to add RAM to them. Is Toshiba taking the same path as the new MacBooks in which you can't add RAM? I initially called Toshiba support in order to learn how to open the bottom of the laptop in order to access to the RAM slots. The rep said he couldn't tell me how to do so because opening the bottom would void the warranty. There are no RAM access doors (or HD access doors) on the bottom of the E45t. Just 10 screws. But removing themdoesn't free the bottom from the body of the laptop. I would greatly appreciate any advice or comments.

Hi Peter, Would I be able to get a PM about the E45T-AST2N01? I'd like to do the following if possible: Add more RAM (probably another 8GB)Replace the WLAN card with an 802.11ac card"Upgrade" to Windows 7. Are there Windows 7 64 bit drivers available outside the scant few posted on the website? I know this could void the warranty and stuff ... blah blah. I just need to know where the slots are. I can do the rest on my own. Thanks, Super

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.

Change HDD with SSD in Notebook HP ENVY 15-k000nl - Warranty expiration - Maximun RAM Upgrade

Good morning,
I have bought the above notebook one week ago, in the HP main site there wasn't photo about the rear and when I saw there is no easy way for chanhe HDD to SSD, I have to unscrew about 15 screws located here and there
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
Christian

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.

Basic RAM upgrade question

Hi,
I've read a lot of threads on ram upgrades, but still have a very basic question. I want to buy the $599 Mac Mini, which comes with 1G RAM. Clearly, the Mac RAM is overpriced, but I've been told by a friend to upgrade to at least 2G for $50 extra. I realize Crucial and others sell it cheaper, but I don't know about my ability to put it in.
Is it worth another $100 to go from 2G to 4G. Will I see a noticeable performance increase if I'm using iMovie, Photoshop or Final Cut Express? Or surfing? Are we talking about a few extra seconds when rendering video but no other noticeable effects? I plan to keep this machine for our family machine now that my child is using iWeb.
I'm sorry if this has been answered, but I'm on a very tight budget and worried about my job in this economy. Thanks for your help.

If you are on a tight budget and have any concern about on-going warranty support for a new mini, then it is a better proposition to buy the $50 upgrade to 2Gb from Apple than to do the RAM upgrade yourself and go to 4Gb for little more. It's not that the upgrade is particularly difficult because it isn't, but if you are not reasonably confident in your skills and something goes wrong, Apple could declare the warranty void due to the work you've done on the inside of the system.
There is a notable performance gain to be had from 4Gb as opposed to 2Gb, but much of the difference is less than obvious, particularly if you are careful about what apps you have running at any time. Running Photoshop, for example, would cause the system to slow down if you then launch another major app such as iMovie, but running it alone in 2Gb RAM would give you respectable performance. Final Cut Express isn't particularly demanding on the system so should run well, as would the vast majority of Intel-native applications. It's only if you are running any non-native processes (applications, drivers etc) that 2Gb would prove notably limiting.
If it were me, I'd probably opt for the base model, buy 4Gb RAM from Crucial and do the upgrade myself. Next choice would be the base model, buy the RAM from Crucial and have a local Apple Approved Service Provider do the work for me - some AASPs charge a reasonable fee for this. Third choice would be to buy the base model with Apple-supplied 2Gb RAM and then at a later time replace that with 4Gb from Crucial as and when funds and circumstances reasonably permit it.

Voiding Warranty

I'm looking at a macbook as my second mac computer, right now i have a g4 macmini that i love and use hours on end everyday. But what i am wondering is if you buy the standard 512 mb macbook and later want to upgrade your self, does it void the warranty? or does it only void the warranty if you screw up the computer? If you install the 3rd party ram completly correctly, do you still have a warranty? or is it voided becuase you put 3rd party items into the macbook. Thanks
Troy

Its a User Replacable part so you are still under warranty if you install new RAM or a Hard Drive.
Having done the RAM upgrade, I can say that it feels as though your going to break something when you are pushing on the sodimms because it requires an unhealthy amount of pressure to get them to sit properly, but I dont think you're gonna break anything by doing it, its really simple...

Where can I go to in Apple to get my RAM upgraded?

I'm still under AppleCare, and I have 4GB of RAM already.
It's a bit laggy, and I was thinking of upgrading to an SSD hdd and more RAM.
Is that something worth doing?
Will I void my AppleCare? Else, where do I go to upgrade and yet still keep my AppleCare?

I understand that you can do the ram upgrade yourself. this is considered a user option and will not affect warranty provided you take the usual precautions of disconnecting power and if the battery is removable do this also. Then make sure that you touch the case of the MBP before handling the ram - to discharge any possible static on your body. Don't touch the pins of the chips as this can damage the chips.
I'm not sure whether replacing the hdd with solid state comes in the realm of user replaceable. If it fits in the same mount & uses the same connectors I guess it might.
The advantage of solid state is that it is very fast and unlikely to fail as there are no moving parts.

Which configuration of iMac 27" ? Fusion drive or not ? RAM upgrade ?

I'd love to get a new 27" iMac for my Mother, but cannot decide if the higher i7 processor (3.5) is worth the price, and cannot decide if the 3TB "Fusion" drive is worth the extra $350.
The retail Apple stores stock the i7 only with the 3TB Fusion drive, the better graphics card, and stock 8GB of RAM, but one can configure the machine if ordering on-line via the link below. Her husband will reimburse me or it will be a gift. Money is not the issue.... just whether or not the money is worth spending.
One last thing: The apple store rep said that the "Geniuses" have to do the RAM upgrade, say from 8GB to 32GB because the 21" unit has to be opened. So the consumer doing the RAM upgrade will void the warranty. Yet I see website indicating that the 21" has a nice convenient door to open and the RAM is user-upgradable without voiding the warranty. Which is true ?
Apple wants to charge $600 (parts and labor) for the RAM upgrade to 32GB. But Crucial has 32MB of this RAM for under $300 with a lifetime warranty. Is there a reason to use the RAM from Apple ?
LINK: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/imac?product=ME089LL/A&step=config

1. 27" iMac with 3.4Ghz i7 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 775M with 2GB video memory is just $200 more than 27" iMac with 3.2Ghz i5 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory. How much is her time worth per hour? If it's for business use, it pays for itself quickly. Same opinion for the 'build-to-order' upgrades in speed and video available on the 27" i7.
2. Fusion drive is a hybrid combining 128GB SSD with either a 1TB or 3TB rotating platter hard drive.
Analysis and review of Fusion drive in a 2012 iMac: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6679/a-month-with-apples-fusion-drive
Conclusions and performance are on pages 5 and 6 of the review.
3. 27" iMac RAM is "user-replacable", quoting from the 2013 'Important Product Information' addendum to the manual:
"Do Not Make Repairs Yourself
Your iMac doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts, except for memory, which is user-replaceable in 27-inch models only. Do not attempt to open your iMac. If your iMac needs service, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service.
If you open your iMac or install items other than memory in 27-inch models, you risk damaging your equipment. Such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your iMac."
quoted from http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1662/en_US/imac_late2013_ipig.pdf
OWC video of the 27" RAM upgrade installation: http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_27inch_late_2012_mem_m/
4. If it's for business, go for the i7 and the video upgrade.
5. I'd do the upgrade myself, purchasing from a reliable vendor of Apple RAM such as crucial.com or macsales.com. I have no experience with the other vendor you mentioned, RAMfinder.com. Factory-installed RAM offers the pricey convenience of having a machine configured by you online and shipped directly to your mother in a few days with no one else needing to be involved. I'd avoid any Apple salesperson who apparently doesn't know the 27" iMac product well enough to give you the truth about user-installable RAM upgrades. OWC (macsales.com) will purchase system-pull original RAM allowing you to recoup a small portion of the cost of the upgrade, though nothing close to the resale price of the RAM.

What you really need to do is open Activity Monitor then click on the Memory tab at the bottom to observe how your RAM is being used. Do this after a typical period of your heaviest usage of the computer. See this article about interpreting the information: Mac OS X- Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor.
You should supplement the information from AM by opening the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter 'top' followed by RETURN (omit the quotes.) See the following:
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

Issues with sleep/wake feature after 16GB RAM upgrade in my MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?

Just installed a 16GB RAM upgrade in my MacBook Pro and now it doesn't wake up on it's own when I open the lid. I have to press the power button. It works fine with a smaller RAM upgrade.
I've tried putting in just one of the 8GB modules and the sleep/wake feature works as normal so there isn't a problem with the RAM modules that I've bought (Crucial.com). I've also put in a combination of Apple's original RAM and the new ones to make 10GB (8GB + 2GB), and the sleep/wake feature works on that too. Put both 8GB modules back in and the MacBook doesn't wake up when I open the lid, I have to press the power button to wake it up. The MacBook itself works fine, super fast and the memory is recognised on 'About This Mac', the sleep/wake issue is the only problem I'm having with the 16GB RAM.
Any thoughts on this? Has anybody else had this sleep/wake issue like this when upgrading RAM?

I upgraded my early 2011 MBP to 16 gigs with Crucial. My machine would not sleep properly, because when I tried to wake it, it would wake from its hibernate image file. This is the issue I've seen here in this list.
I tried all the suggestions I saw on these groups. Nothing helped. I contacted Crucial, who suggested that if their RAM was defective, they'd replace it per their warranty process. I needed some proof it was their RAM causing the problem.
I put the original 8 gigs RAM back in the machine (2 4 gig sticks), and it behaved normally. I then put one stick of Crucial RAM in, all by itself. The machine behaved normally. I put the other stick of Crucial RAM back in, and took the first one out. The machine would not properly sleep and wake from sleep. This proved that one stick was causing the problem, and the other was not.
Defective RAM!
I then requested and received an RMA from Crucial to send the defective RAM back. They paid shipping. I got new sticks of RAM about a week later. These new sticks of RAM work properly. No sleep issues.
I'm surprised and disappointed to say that this is not the first time I've received defective RAM from Crucial. I've purchased from them for years, and had GREAT service and received high quality products. The past couple years my experience has been different.
I'm still pretty steamed about this, as I spent a great deal of time trying to diagnose the problem and fix it. I don't really have that kind of time to waste. My expectation was that their RAM was high quality, and unlikely to be at fault.
Perhaps this is just a bad batch of RAM. I get that. I can forgive them once. But this has happened twice in the past three years. I'll look elsewhere for my next memory purchase.
Keep in mind that their customer ratings are generally very high. My experience is probably isolated.

Problems with RAM upgrade iMac G5 1.8GHz

Stuck - Need Help!
I've previously upgraded up iMac to 2 500Mb RAMs and felt recently that it needed that little bit extra, so I ordered two 1Gb chips from crucial.
Followed instructions to T, but with the two new chips in, the machine won't load.
Interestingly, it boots up with the following RAM combinations
old 500MB + new 1GB (in any combination) - recognised as 1.5GB
one new 1GB RAM (again either one) - recognised as 1GB
I spoke to crucial who said that as the RAMs work individually, there isn't a problem with them, it could be a Firmware issue. I've upgraded all my software, and don't know what to do next?
Anyone overcome a similar problem in the past?
Thanks

I'm experiencing something very similar to shaow. I'll share my experience in gory details - sorry for the long post but I've spent more hours trying to stabilize. I should have worked the hours at walmart and bought a new iMac with the money I could have earned
Anyway, here goes:
Two iMac G5 1.8Ghz 17" (both Fall 2005 model), will call one A and the other B.
Prior to attempting ram upgrade: A, config working fine: both a config using 1GB slot 1, 256MB slot 2 and a single 1 PC3200 1GB stick. OS X 10.4-10.5.7. No problems. I did have the motherboard replaced under warranty after having sleep problems - capacitors were expanded. No problems since that motherboard swap.
Prior to attempting ram upgrade: B, config working fine: 2 x 256MB sticks. OS X 10.3.9
Ordered 3 PC3200 400Mhz 1GB sticks from Data Memory Systems.
Upgraded A: Added 1GB stick = 2GB total
Upgraded B: Removed both 256MB sticks from B and added two 1GB sticks = 2GB total
Booted B, experienced gray screen of death with the multi-language crash message - somethign like: 'Please hold down the power button and restart'. Power cycled B, booted off a retail box DVD of OS X 10.5.6. Began upgrade to 10.5.6. Gray screen of death part way thru upgrade. Power cycled, gray screen of death again during early boot phase.
Decided to run tests on B. I could not locate the Apple Hardware Test (neither on system dvd 1 nor on a separate DVD). I resorted to using TechnoTools Deluxe which was included with AppleCare box. No hardware problems found including on the 2GB memory.
Removed both new 1GB sticks, pulled older working 1GB stick from A and installed into B. Completed upgrade with just 1GB memory on B to 10.5.6 and subsequently pulled down all updates for OS X 10.5.8. Powered down, added second 1GB stick to B, booted into 10.5.8 successfully. Repaired disk permissions, restarted. Began using applications, then after only about 5 minutes experienced gray screen of death. Powered down, removed new 1GB stick, replaced with one of the two remaining new 1GB sticks. Read about reseting PRAM/NVRAM. Followed steps to reset PRAM then decided to do the reset NVRAM within openfirmware. Started back up and logged into 10.5.8. Ran several applications - did not experience gray screen of death after about 20 minutes use. Have not had time for further tests on B yet.
Back to my saga with A (my original iMac G5 that was working fine with 1GB stick on 10.5.7):
Called Data Memory Systems and they sent me a replacement for the 'bad' 1GB stick.
While I was waiting for the new 1GB stick from DMS, I was struggling to get machine fully updated. Software Updater was failing with the weird network error (network was fine) and after following steps to troubleshoot, I backed up the user accounts and decided to reinstall OS X fresh from the 10.5.6 retail box (family license). Finally, I had OS X 10.5.8 all fully updated on the 1GB iMac G5 (A).
New memory arrived, installed 2nd 1GB stick. Booted up, immediately I got the gray screen of death. Restarted, booted up got about 5-15 minutes use then gray screen of death. Puzzled, I called DMS who said unlikely I got 2 bad sticks. They suggested I try memtest. So I did...
So on A, I first ran memtest from single user mode on the 2GB config. It crashed immediately with some 'Unexpected' error. Did not look like a memory error. I powered down, removed 2nd 1GB stick, and ran memtest from single user on the 1GB stick. Ran all tests 3x over a couple hours - no problems found. Retested after swapping the 1GB stick for the other. Both tested fine. Installed both sticks again and ran memtest all tests, one pass (didn't want another 6 hours lost) on the 2GB config, and all tests passed. Booted up and got gray screen of death - I don't recall if it was on bootup or after running but I ran fsck with no disk problems found, then restarted, logged in, ran disk utility to repair all permissions. Some repairs were made. Restarted A, reset PRAM and NVRAM again, booted successfully.
I haven't had much time to run extensively apps on A yet. It's sleeping as I type this on another mac. My next test will be to reset SMU.
I'm starting to wonder if the original iMac G5 has firmware problems that would prevent it from being unstable with two 1GB sticks??? My experience on two identical models of iMac G5 plus reading this post with VERY similar behaviors and after all the normal tests. I've concluded the memory is A-OK and something more sinister is lurking...
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Would Installing HD and RAM Myself Void AppleCare????

I am looking to buy a Mac Pro. I want to buy Hard Drives and RAM from another website such as Buy.com or OWC. If I Buy and install them myself, does that void AppleCare?

Just to add, that is what 99.9% of owners do!
If you looked or notice, Apple's price on such items are often 300% higher in some instances unless the market is upside down.
In fact 3rd party RAM have better warranty and support than Apple's.
And you have better choices, especially in disk drives - from SSD vs Apple price and size, to make, brand, capacity.

Adding DDR3 RAM without voiding?

I have a Macbook running OSX 10.6.4 - 2.26 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor and am wondering if I have the ability to add 2GB of DDR3 RAM without voiding my warranty?

Lol, I play Karos, Darkfall, Tera-Online, Program in C/C++, Python, Perl; own a proxy supplier and am an admin of a VPS hosting company haha. I need as much RAM as I can get. But this is going to be my secondary machine next year. I'll probably just purchase 2GB sticks and settle with 4GB. 8 would be overkill. I'm usually on fedora or gentoo when I'm on here anyway.. or sometimes booting to bt4 for some quick security checking.

8GB Ram Upgrade

Hi,
This is my first post and I am aware of similar posts all over the internet but due to the lack of recent posts for RAM upgrades, I would like to create this placeholder for all the people who are looking into upgrading their RAM on their recent MacBook Pros.
So after reading a bunch of posts online about RAM upgrades, the questions boil down to:
1. Is the performance of RAM different for different makes?
2. Does the power consumption and heat generation differ from make to make?
3. How does the apple care warranty get affected if non-apple certified RAM is used?
Various Vendors:
1. Hynix (Claimed as the ones that ship from apple) -- $340
http://macramdirect.com/macbook.html
2. RamJet (Claims to be good on the battery/heat) -- $290
http://www.ramjet.com/ItemDescription.asp?Item=MBAL8G
3. Hyper Velocity (Claims to be apple certified) -- $280
http://macramdirect.com/macbook.html
4. OWC (Read a lot of great reviews) -- $230
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/8566DDR3S8GP/
5. Crucial / Corsair / G Skill RAMs from newegg.com -- $265 / $220 / $200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007609%2060000617 8%20600000401%20600000445&IsNodeId=1&name=DDR3%201066%20%28PC3%208500%29
It is hard for me to accept that all these chips would perform exactly the same way since there is always a cost to quality ratio. Although the cost is also based on a lot of other factors, the quality of products used should be the major factor of all of them.
Keeping in mind that I have the 3 yr. apple protection, I hesitate to upgrade to anything else other than the hynix chips but if it doesn't make a difference, shouldn't I go with G Skill since it is the cheapest one on the list and still has a lifetime warranty?
Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
So after reading a bunch of posts online about RAM upgrades, the questions boil down to:
1. Is the performance of RAM different for different makes?
No, as long as the RAM meets the specifications it's fine.
2. Does the power consumption and heat generation differ from make to make?
No change in power consumption or heat by adding additional RAM.
3. How does the apple care warranty get affected if non-apple certified RAM is used?
Replacing RAM and internal HD's on current MBP's does not affect AppleCare in any way UNLESS you do damage to the computer installing it. However if you follow the instructions in the manual it's difficult to damage your machine.
Various Vendors:
1. Hynix (Claimed as the ones that ship from apple) -- $340

2. RamJet (Claims to be good on the battery/heat) -- $290

My recommendation is to use OWC's products. They provide high quality pre and post sales support and you can even watch an online video that shows how to install the RAM. They also specialize in Apple products and I think you will find most people on this forum agree that OWC stands behind their products.
