- How to upgrade memory on a laptop when the battery is not removable and there doesn’t seem to be a way to remove the back?
This video shows how to upgrade the memory from 4 GB up to 8 GB in an HP 14 inch laptop. The same procedure should work with any HP laptop that has a non-removable battery and where there is no obvious way to open the back to upgrade the memory.
This particular video shows a 2018 HP 14 inch laptop model DF0013CL being upgraded with 8 gigabytes of Crucial DDR4-2400 memory.
Three quick tips before starting: #1 carefully remove the plastic feet and make sure that they do not get stuck to something or dust on them, #2 be careful as you remove the back by very carefully moving around the edge all the way up toward the display, and #3 be very careful when removing the memory so as not to bend the clips on either side.
Almost a year later, this computer is still going strong with the added memory (despite accidentally bending the clip)
Wait so I can’t add 16 GB?
Could you help me with this computer my keyboard isn’t working
@@choppmonster7 I recommend you to get 16 GB if you wanna multitask, otherwise 8gb is fine
Hi Aaron, thanks for the guide. But I need to ask, didn't you loose any files after installing a new RAM???
@@mdlamini11 You don't loose any files after installing ram, everything is on your hard drive.
thank you dude your a blessing, been trying to find out how to open the same exact model and i suddenly find this thanks! subbed
Me too. I am about to order me some memory and do the same thing. Hope it works!
Completed installed and good to go
Clear, simple, straight to the point. The guitar pick was a life saver for me! Thanks
he could have done it with the fine flat head screwdriver as I did watching him; it work fine as well. but just be easy
Thanks good demo, I'll be adding my RAM when it arrives later this week.
Great Video. Nice to see potential issues that could arise, and learn from them. Many people would just edit that part out. Not everything goes always goes perfectly. Great job.
Thanks 👍
This helped me so much with installing more RAM in my laptop! It's a slightly different HP, but the whole dang bottom still had to come off, which was intimidating. And the guitar pick was a sterling hack! Thanks!
Thank you very much Aaron !
You explained and did demo very clearly.
I am going to do it myself after watching your video.
Thanks for posting. Knowing there are screws under the rubber strips is key. HP definitely does not want people upgrading these models. I have an HP 17-by0063cl and it seems like it will be the same.
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out how to take the back off, this helped me tremendously!
Thank you sir! I was able to switch out my 4 Gb for my 8Gb memory. Your instructions were straight and to the point.
Awesome.......I followed you step-by-step to upgrade my laptop memory. Please keep up the good work.
Glad I could help
Thanks man for this video. I wish I would have known about those rubber strips before I started. All in all I was able to upgrade my 15-DY1027OD memory to 16GB a lot easier. Your video helped me. Unfortunately I myself accidently scratched the keyboard side with a screw driver before I found the video. Oh, Your guitar pick trick actually worked for me too. Thanks very much
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to find video help on how to install additional ram into a laptop similar to yours. I just installed mine and now have 12 GB! You were a God send!
My hp 14 cm007la has 4gb ram ddr4 and i want to upgrade to 8 or 12 gb, it works 4+8gb? Differents Brands? Because mine is micron technology and here in Perú there isn't that brand, only crucial and Kingston, so it Will work 4gb micron ddr4 2666mhz + 8 gb ddr4 Kingston / Crucial = 12gb ram or 4+4 = 8 gb ram different Brands
@@raymongarrido5682 Micron manufactures crucial memory! 😂✌ and don't use two different memory types use 4+4 ,or 8+8 not different 4+8 , you will get a slower performance. Make sure the Mhz matches as well.
thanks for this, very helpful. just used it to get into my HP 14-bw023na which uses the same case.
a Gibson medium pick is ideal for the job. :)
Good outcome. Glad it worked out fine. Thanks for the information, as I am going to upgrade my 17-ca0015ds to 12 GB. Came with 8, but I would like to get more speed during browsing... Close enough to yours to be helpful!
Awesome video! Really helped me out, hardest part was finding something to separate the keyboard from the back. Bread clip worked nicely if you can get gap big enough to fit it
Glad it helped!
found this helpful as a young teenager,
thanks!
now i can play with my friends smoothly!
That's great! One of my teens has this computer now and it works well for him (other than the left mouse button is not working great)
Thank you, your explanation is very clear. Keep up the good work!
Good, simple guide. I just added 8gb to my new laptop, thanks alot!
Perfect video for my needs. Thanks!!
I have a similar model, the HP 14-cf0006dx. For anyone searching for memory upgrade info on this model, it's virtually identical to the one in the review, however, it has two memory slots. I kept the 4GB slot memory and added 8GB to the other slot. IFixit makes a $2 opening tool that's perfect for this task. Not sure how to add a 2.5" drive but the SSD module can certainly be upgraded.
so you add 8gb and kept the 4gb memory there?? for obtain 12gb??
It works good with 12gb ram? Or its better have 4+4 = 8gb ram? I have this question
Thanks for the info - I too have a HP 14 CF0006DX model. Have you ever found a hard shell cover for this model?
This should work on any HP 14 laptop with the same form factor, regardless of processor. I've tried this on my HP 14-cm0072au and it does wonders.
Very helpful. The pick did all the trick. I play bass myself so I got thicker picks so it didn't break
good informative video.. not all laptops are easy to open for simple upgrades
thanks for the video, its been one yr for my laptop now i feel a small lag, hope this Ram upgrade will clear it off.
Thank you very much for posting this video... :)
I use this video for RAM Replacement HP 14-cm0091au
OMG THANK YOU BABY JESUS!!!! My hard drive died and I want to open the computer but couldn't find the other screws. Turns out they are hiding behind the rubber!!!!! Thank you so much for this video. I am using this video to fix my HP 15-dw0046nr !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for posting this and explaining things so thoroughly! I looked through several videos, but none of the PCs matched mine. I was beginning to think my laptop was a freak of nature :D Again, thanks!
Mine 2
Thank you pal just have a similar laptop with same lag issue you have been a saviour all the best
Thank you for this. I was losing my mind trying to get the back off.
Thanks so much for this video. I just upgraded my mom's sluggish laptop. So easy!
Cheers Mate! this one needs an upgrade too but i'll watch for the little arm that hold the board thanks for the heads up!
Thank you for showing me how to do it. Greatly appreciative.
You're very welcome!
Thank you! Very useful. Hopefully I can use this instruction for my HP Thinbook 14-bp021nd
Thank you, very helpful to replace my hard drive for ssd on my hp cf0018ca which use same case
Thanks for the video, I have the 14s-DK0002AU model which is very similar to this in terms of physique and was planning to replace the 4gb with an 8gb this weekend. I’d rather do it myself than pay extra.
Thanks for this video bro, I'm planning to upgrade my laptop's memory but I'm kind a worried on how to open it up. This video made my day :)
Glad I could help
EXACT same config on "HP Notebook - 14-dk0024wm" from Walmart...no SSD only M.2 Drive (even though some sites say it has SSD capability - I think they skipped on this model specific)...this model upgradeable to 32GB RAM...Upgraded to 16GB Kit from Crucial...buying M.2 for the slot. SSD slot is THERE...but no SATA interface/power. Great Job on Vid Aaron.
m.2 is ssd
@@Janzer_, you make me want to kick my neighbors cat.
I have this one, just bought it on clearance at Walmart for $200. I'm here because I knows there's more to this machine than what we're lead to believe. My heart skipped a beat when I found it had an m.2
"No SSD only M.2"
This comment of yours lit up a bulb in my head. My HP x360 notebook died. I don't want to take it for repairs because of confidential info on the drive.
After watching TH-cam videos of how to replace SSD, I opened the laptop only to find a big space for a drive as shown above and NO SDD.
Paranoia kicked in. I thought the notebook died because someone quietly stole the SSD. lol
Thanks for the post, now I can install my memory!
Good video, getting the back off is 90% of this task. So glad that a Billion dollar company like HP, couldn't afford to write "screws are under this rubber pad"
Not supposed to be open by those without a clue, sticking metal screwdrivers into a powered motherboard and bending memory retainer clips.
bro i made the same mistake... wtf
Just bought mine I didn’t realise it was this much drama. I saw the two spoons and I said no this is too good to be true, lo and behold...🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️😆
Good guide for dis-assembling the hp laptop.
Thank you for this video! You saved my life and my money
Thanks for your help! I just upgraded my HP 14 laptop to 8gb. :)
remember the days when laptops used to just have a little trap door with one screw that revealed the ram and the hdd? those were the days! Also did th rubber strips stay in place after you stuck them back down? I just bought a similar laptop for my elderly mom, I suspect 4gb will be enough for what she does, but 8 would certainly be better.. I just don't want to start peeling tings off and find it doesn't stay stuck in a week or so lol.
4GB is not enough any more. Web browsers gobble the gigabytes. I have 8 and am trying to upgrade it to 16.
Never again HP
As a 2000s kid, currently with HP 14, I'm more than jealous
Picked up a thinkpad t540p not long ago that has that setup.
excellent breakdown, thank you!!
Man you made that seem way more difficult than it is :) Tip : read the Service Manual before you start!
Just curious: What SPECIFIC ISSUE required you to read the svc manual?
He break the Ram Clip while removing the ram stick he used to much pressure on the clip.
no he did not it was already broken when he pulled the bottom off; from what I saw and I watched it twice a factory defect and it do happens
@@memalephyudth no he definitely broke it lol
@@gamelard1963 agreed, those clips usually just pop to the side and you put the ram back in they don't need to be touched.
I work in a hardware store. Typically, M2.5 x 6 would indicate a metric screw size 2.5 which is 6mm in length. Probably not essential to know, but if you lose a screw those would be the dimensions.
Thanks brotha needed to see this, I'm upgrading my hp 14-dk0028wm which is almost the same thing with and ryzen 3 but has two ram slots one comes with 4gb. Upgrading to add a 8gb chip to it
Thanks for the help in the disassembly. Unfortunately, I bought the wrong ram so the boards don’t match up. I’m upset.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Awesome video thank you sir
I hope mine is this easy, its about 10 years old. Not my main unit, but come in handy for other things.
Amazing tutorial
Hahahah. I made the same mistake. It's sweet when you learn the hard way, you'll never forget the lesson. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Does this apply to all laptops
Thank You Kind Sir!😀
Keep watching these videos to hopefully add nore memory into my laptop which is a HP 15-ba009dx
It seems easy enough.
I had to replace a hard drive to one of this HP laptop, it was a Pavillion, and it was a nightmare. The mainboard was attached to that lid that you removed in the video, so to have access to the components you need to be very careful when opening because there was a flexible cable connecting to the keyboard and the USB ports. Additionally I missed a screw and ended up breaking a part of the lid. Definitely manufacturers don't want you to upgrade their machines
FINALLY, I found a video for the specific model I’m working on, BUT, I need to access the SSD drive and I can’t find the friggin thing. Anybody know where it’s hidden? This model is different from others of the same 14-xxxx line.
Please can u make a video on how to change the processor
Space for 2nd ssd with optional ribbon cable and caddy. I love how each piece is it can't be expanded but it clearly can be but the processor does not support the extra speed
Thanks for the info brother but how do I know what memory to buy
‼️ I found that rather than prying it open with a thin object like the guitar pic, just use that same precision screwdriver to push through the exterior holes from the very first screws you undo. It pushes the keyboard away from the bottom plate with no damage!
Thanks for the Video
thanks man my laptop was the same as this and the worst with 4gb ram. I COULDENT EVEN RUN MINECRAFT(without the lowest possable settings) Thank you for this very deailed video with clear steps and instructions lol.
It's kinda bit hard for me breathe watching him snap the back of case :). I miss the old simple laptop design where you can just unscrew and replace the ram in less than 2 mins. But Good Job for showing us how :)
😅 i'm afraid to upgrade that after see this
upgrading laptops is actually really easy, except the screen.
Where did you get the replacement memory and did you notice a difference with speed?
thank you!
Is it the same process on an HP 14-cm0014AU?
Thanks for the video. I just did this on the Ryzen version of this model number 14-dk0028wm. I found it was easier to start at the corners near the screen hinge and the bottom came off with just my fingers.
dracer35 hey does your model have 1 or 2 slots for ram?
Hello i have a question i have HP 15.6 model 15 -dy207dx 8gb-256gb SSD is it possible to use the corsair vengeance i was possible trying 16gb will it work ?
hi , i see you video and i install the ram, i have the same issue with the slab tha keep the ram on place, i try to fix but impossible , how you fix or you left with only one side ? thank you
Will it work with amd a4
By taking out the old memory, and adding a new memory card, do you lose all your all old memory on the old card??
What kinda battery do I have to get for this laptop and how do I replace it
Good video. Heads up everyone there is in fact two ram slots max memory 16gb
Is the second next to it
Yes
I got 8gb ballistic memory from Newegg
How did you find the top end limit for expanding the RAM for a given cpu?
My computer looks very similar it's an HP 14 dk1032wm, if I change the ram there's nothing I have to install or anything? Will it just know it has more when I turn my computer back on?
bought a kit from amazon for opening electronics, came with plastic prying tools, many different screw drivers, tweezers, cutting tools, nd guitar picks 😅 i unfortunately bought wrong sized 16gb of ram though, gave the sticks to a family member. waiting on two 16gb sticks that will actually fit fingers crossed.
Does anyone know if you can upgrade ram off of a HP laptop but its a 15-db0015dx?
Hi! Will this work on my HP 14-cm0014AU laptop?
Any issues with the adhesive peeling off later?
Thanks man
This looks close to my HP 15 dy1051wm, hopefully should be just as easy.
Hey Aaron I was wondering if you could help me .... I have a model 14 - cf0040a hp laptop ... I made the mistake of ordering ram online and when it came it didn't fit properly. Do you think it would be a good idea to purchase the same product gou used in your video ?
Thank you for sharing, where is hard drive for this particular model?
The hard drive was at the top left of the video
Hello I don't know if you're replying anymore on old videos but, I upgraded my laptop(same as yours) with a 16gb ram. So in total I have 24 gb Ram now. The problem is the audio, when I play a game, midway or 2mins into the game the sound buzzes in tandem with the in-game sound. I would really appreciate it if you know something about it.
Sir is it possible to put an harddisk into this laptop, because i opened my laptop and i don't see where to connect my hardisk
Isn't that a space for a second clip, and therefore a second stick of RAM? Provided, of course, that one can solder. I'm also thinking about an internal hd or sdd in that empty-ish spot (there are tabs stamped into the cover that will have to go)
I have a question my laptop hp 14-bs0xx doesn't have a fan nor heat sink but it has this some kind of thin black plate above the chip can someone help me there is no result on google
is it necessary to still stick on the ghz? and also can you reinstall the rubber feet?
Thank you very much
THANK YOU.
I could see when you put the new memory in that you weren't straight and that's what caused you to bend the hold in clip. Thanks for showing the location of the screws however as I wouldn't have thought to look under the rubber strips. I have a very similar model HP that I bought from Best Buy for $219 but it has two RAM memory ports which allows up to 16GB of RAM from the 4GB it came with. Since there is space in the case you can also add (using a $10 ribbon cable from HP) an additional hard drive for about $30
I just purchased it and find it very slow. I was planning to put another 4gb of ram anyway but even just out the box I am not satisfied with its performance. How are you finding it?
I'm not experiencing that issue. The boot time (because of the SSD) is very quick. I removed some of the bloat ware that was installed on the computer from the factory and then took it out of "S" mode and it's pretty quick. I also do not use the antivirus supplied with the laptop. I'm not certain what you are using it for (maybe very intensive processes?). Remember, this is a budget laptop and the AMD processor that this has is not going to be able to compete with an I5, I7 or certainly an I9.
I wish you would have opened the HDD slot!!
I've 8GB of RAM in a similar laptop, and I don't know if I can put another 8GB RAM to have two RAM (16GB). I search in HP website but I haven't found anything. Please, help!!
I just got a HP 14-dk1008ca for 400 Bucks. thinking about increasing the ram and the M.2 SSD Capacity. The Processor is only an Athlon Silver 3050U With Radeon Vega II with 512 MB VRam. Doesn't run Bad For it's price.
you know how to add ssd to that computer
Where would the ssd go. I am trying to get a SSD upgrade but I cannot find where it should go
My hp 14-dk 1022wm with a Ryzen 3 only allows 5.6gb usable ram after installing an 8gb stick?
