If it feels like you have to force it, that probably means either a screw is still in place or a clip remains to be unsnapped. Before continuing, back off and double-check your service manual to discover any well-hidden screws that may have eluded you.
On our laptop, the preceding steps gave us access to the graphics card assembly, which we removed by loosening two screws. The CPU sits beneath that card. With the graphics card out of the way, we removed four more screws to get the heat sink off and to expose the CPU itself, held in its socket by a single locking screw.
Turn the screw clockwise to lock it. Note: Some systems use a locking bar in place of a screw. I have upgraded the ram to 12gb from 4gb. Can I upgrade the processor to i7? Can you please let me know if I can add any graphics card or not.
My wife use this laptop for graphics and video editing photoshops, lightroom, after effect, illustrator, premier pro. Hi Sudipta, Glad to have you as a reader! Processor upgrade gets tricky and needs lots of due-diligence because every manufacturer has different configuration on their motherboard. So, No. Perhaps getting an SSD will give a boost!
I thought of upgrading my RAM and Processor, could you please suggest me the best fit? Hi Shivanandana bhaiya I have an intel i3 process manufactured by hcl intel i but I am not able to find whether it is U or M or QM, it is not written after the processor name and anywhere, where can I find it?. Please, help! Do you think either of these processors would work for me? So, it is worth giving a try.
All the best!! Hi Sarang, glad you liked the post. For me, they are extinct. Who uses them these days anyways right? Hi, I need help with my laptop. Lenovo Ideapad isk. Please help. Hey Sej. These itself should significantly increase the performance!
Thanks for you experience. Have you install a bios modded, for this upgrade? Can I install cpu iM? The default bios should work with new processor. Give it a try. Keep your old i3 around just in case. Hi shivanandana I have dell laptop with intel -i5 g 1.
May be. If it is not, then no. Hi Shiva, Your blog on upgrading the processor is really interesting. You gave me a hope to upgrade my year Hp pavillion G6 laptop. And guess what? Most laptops do not support processor upgrades, unfortunately. Yes, you can upgrade your laptop RAM. Even still most modern windows based laptops support the option of upgradeable memory RAM , unlike Apple laptops.
Unlike desktop towers, almost all of which are user-serviceable, many laptops are sealed boxes that are difficult or impossible to tinker with. In some cases, even if you can get at the guts, you'll find the key components drive-soldered to the motherboard. Fortunately, you don't need to crack open the chassis just to find out if you can replace the RAM or hard drive.
Here's how to tell if you can upgrade your laptop and what components it needs. In the best-case scenario, you can replace both your RAM and storage drive. Upgrading from a mechanical hard drive to an SSD solid state drive will have an enormous impact on your performance, allowing you to boot, open applications and files, or switch tasks three to four times faster.
Adding more memory, particularly going from 2GB or 4GB to 8GB, can make multitasking or working on large media files easier.
