- Thank you for 13:59 of your time. In this video I do max Upgrades to HP EliteBook 8440 and backup data from a stuck HDD. The HDD trick will not work in all cases, chances are 50 / 50. Also I have done some upgrades that will boost this laptop and make better than before.
Upgrades:
CPU - i3 380M to i7 620M
RAM - 2GB to 8GB
HDD to 480GB SSD

Got the i7 version of this laptop 5 years ago as a refurb for $300 and just put an SSD in it, as he says, great for basic tasks.
I got the Latitude from the same era with i5 5 years ago for 250ish usd and it still works with an sshd, albeit it slows down alot with browsers these days. I didn't put ssd as I don't think it would be used at full potential as its sata 2 port only.
@@tejaspadhye Since replaced it with a new Acer Spin 5
Basic tasks, I beg to differ, very powerful for it's class especially with i7 and SSD. 16 RAM DD3 and it's a powerful machine.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you!
@@Smitty-op4ld I tried to edit video on it and it was having no part of it! Lol
i am using the same and i did the same but i only get it for like 50 or 70 bukes
The reality is, the older laptop are more sturdy than today's! HP elitebook series are one of the best business class laptops of their time!
I’ve been through with this channel for a while now and still wondering where the damn cat is
Ricky Kurniawan hahahahah here she is 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Best laptop restoration channel on earth so far!
Thank you :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew nice restore
@@jacklourdreambonanza6883 Thank you :D
@@TiTiTiTiT Borat like :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew can i have this one plsss
Always love seeing old tech being revived. Nice video !
After you cleaned the laptop screen i was able to clearly see dust on my laptop screen :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have this exact same laptop only the i5 version with integrated graphics glad to find an upgrade video
man im inspired by this and ive cleaned my old dell inspiron 1440. Thanks andrew you teached me a lot of tips in cleaning laptops
Before i say anything it may sound like nothing coming from me but i really mean it. I hope you never change the way you do your videos or if you do its only minor. I love your b role and the way you sync it with your music. You are one of the tech youtubers who do restorations that i enjoy, your videos are calming and relaxing. I would love to do what you do one day and find inspiration from your channel. Please continue your videos like this its very enjoyable. I hope this made you smile and you can tell that i really mean it. And to anyone who happens to stumble across this comment, I hope you have a great day.
I like your restorations, because you actually take it a part and basically clean everything.
a lot channels just do some basic cleaning and all they've done is clean it rather than restore it
Thank youu :D
Andrew you are my favorite youtber you taught me many things that I did not know, just keep going
Thank you :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Can i put This in laptop a intel core 2670qm?
That feeling when a laptop 10+ years old has a touch bar,
Apple: This is a brand new feature completely designed and thought up of by us!
yeah, i can relate to that one.
It’s not Touch Bar. It’s Status LEDs
@@pikaaxyt It's a touch bar. I had this laptop.
@@pikaaxytit’s a touch bar indeed
'This laptop is fine for basic use'.
Uh. That little i7, 8GB RAM and an SSD will do better than most mid-range shite on the market today. :)
not really as it's the first iteration and a dual core from a decade ago
@@gnuportexe4657 got the i5 still fast sandy Bridge aged well for me ')
@@MrSonic731 yeah but that has twice the cores at a faster clock speed.
@@gnuportexe4657 True but it has 2 physical cores and 4 logical cores. This i7 performs quite well. There are still laptops that have 2 physical cores and 2 logical cores and they do this to save power. I have this same chip for my HP and Dell. I am going to the i7-820QM to test that cpu next.
@@gnuportexe4657 mine too i5 version and it's almost going to be a year now and it automatically shuts down while even browsing chrome ;(
Love this type of video, cant wait for more, keep it up andrew 🤗
Thank you :D
I had one of these with the i7-640LM as my main system a while back. Loved it until the fans decided to stop working properly. Overheated constantly, but was an absolute beast when it was running correctly. Only reason I updated to a proper PC was because I was starting to get into PC gaming. I'm sure this PC would have still been in use today by me if I didn't
Open it up and replace the fans, I think you can find a cheap replacement easily.
Good restoration, I had a 8440p for a few years but I got a 8440w for free since it had a dead mobo and went all out after selling the p. New quadro board $35 on ebay, 820qm was $26 on ebay, 500gb WD blue on Amazon for $58 and a ODD HDD caddy for $15 with a 1tb rotational I got free from work. Already had 8gb of ram, the 1600x900 display and centrino ultimate 6300 wifi card. 820 is A LOT of chip for that cooler but it manages. I just use it for TH-cam and email and stuff but I love it! Keep up the good work :)
I am viewing this video using the same laptop and it runs smoothly. Great job bro 👌
Your videos is very statifying. Great job dude
Thank youu :D
Great job! Keep doing it
Awesome.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you :D
Give it to lowspecgamer he'll be running battlefield 10 in no time.
a goood idea not gon lie, gave a like 👌
Ur name really caught me
Last year I put together an 8440p that ran GTA V at 60fps (720p at 0.5x render scale)
Sergiy Botsman how’d you manage that
@@decmark11 I put an i7 720qm in it and used no-shadows mod, also the Quadro GPU can actually OC pretty well.
Andrew, while you are testing games, connect the charger. Gaming using the battery decrease the performance A LOT. And, obviously, we wont see the real performance of this notebook. Put in the high performance mode and connect the charger! Thank you, i love your work!!!
I bought this laptop 6 years ago, I recently bought a gaming laptop. I plan on building a setup next year where I'll use the old laptop as a permanent desktop after the same upgrades and connect my laptop for Game On
Bro laptop expert love your all videos 🤓
Your video are great very satisfying keep it up love from India ❤️
Awesome video once again!!
Good video cat!
I use high specs pc for gaming, streaming,editing and i use HP Elitebook 8460p for basic work.These Laptops are great
I have the exact model. It is still running well.
Love it. Keep it coming.
Thank youu :D
Dude u swear I've never seen a screen that Clean before😂😂🤯
good i have the same laptop and i think that your video make me happy i go to do the same upgrades thanks you so much
My first laptop (not pc but laptop) was Elitebook 8530w
Still one of my favourites
its the first time i saw a replaceable cpu in a laptop, very cool
You got a new sub. I am a fan HP!
My brothers company donated same model laptops with i5. That was some o greatest machines from HP
Man the amount of effort & dedication you put in your work is respectable.
BTW have you ever watched a video on a retina and non retina macbook side by side. Is there a hugh difference..
Just found your channel and your content is really good, can't wait for new content 🤔👍👍
Thank you :D
Wow congratulation for the amazing jobs.
Great work dude
Thank you :D
Wow, you are a genius
AMAZING VIDEO DUDE
Great video!!
Thank you :D
Excellent video..
Wow hp managed to design a laptop that does not need a complete disassemble to reach the cpu! Impressive!
Incredibly surprising that it's capable of 4K from a browser. With proper HW/Accel from something like, say VLC or PotPlayer, especially KODI, you can expect it but straight from the browser? Not bad at all. Video playback from browsers usually takes a gargantuan hit in performance compared to a proper video player, so for a laptop this old to run it in 4K... Impressive
I did the same with my STI1422 a brazilian variation of ECS R42 Laptop , i7 640m , 8GB Ram Dual , also i bought a new cover *a variation with a fingerprint sensor , added Bluetooth with Centrino 6235 and Added 3G Card , and of course i have switched from a HDD to a SSD and kept the old HDD on CD/Driver slot using a Caddy Adapter...
FINALLY. A video for about I7-620m and a 8gb of ram. I am planning to upgrade my Dell Inspiron N4010 (actually I am currently using it right now while typing this comment) with the same.. really the same specs. But I doubt for upgrading it because it may not worth it. but after watching this video. it gave me an answer if I should spent almost a 200$ for upgrades in this laptop or not. I am actually a High school student and does not have a solid income (my parents don't even give me monthly allowance or give me money for school. they only give me money if they forget/don't have time to cook lunch in the morning) so that is why I am very considerate in my expenses. Thank you for making this video!
But while messing around in some of your videos. I came across for that one asus laptop that you used i5-2450m. And after doing some poking in internet I've found that i5 is much better than i7. I am now wondering if i5 would fit in my dell n4010? Because they had an same socket as the pga etc etc. It would be really great if someone conduct a test if it would fit
You know the common difference between Jerry rig everything and Andrew is the Jerry break things with polite and Andrew restore that with polite ...
damn
I love when he clean the display
I have an experience with Dell E6410 which uses the same Lynnfield generation of CPUs and 2x4GB modules was the maximum and it even didn't like all brands, just SkHynix dual rank 4GB modules worked, i even had a regular non low voltage 1600MHz 8GB modules which didn't work too. Next generation of CPUs after this one - Sandy Bridge has no problem with any low voltage 8GB modules.
I picked up two hp ProBook 4545s on eBay this week for cheap. Guess I caught the bug after watching our friend in Europe.
Awesome work man well I say that is perfection ...Kudos to you ..one question try gta5 I will be sure that you will achieve 35 to 40 FPS just try and upload a video
Thank you for your video, hello from 🇩🇿
I was expecting you to do a bench mark after the upgrade. I was also expecting to see the system as the i7-620M is 2.66GHz and burst (turbo) around 3.33GHz
Upgrading one of these now
You are an organized person
your videos are best and unique.
have a question:- which i5 processor can i upgrade to dell vostro 2520 came with i3 3110m?
I had this model of laptop and I disassembled and assembled it like 20 times xD
this thing is built like a tank!
really good video
Thank you :D
i wish i could send my 14 years old laptop to you :(
Hey!! How you doin' Mr. Nobi? Saw you, When I was 12 and loved that damned thing Doraemon.
how do you find the supported processor upgrades for a laptop?
God I have the same model. I recently bought a new laptop and I thought of uprading the old one to turn it into a usable desktop. Mine has a first gen i5 which will do I guess for basic tasks, guess I will install an ssd and upgrade the ram. Thanks Andrew
Please make a content like this again and make videos about turning laptop to all in one desktop
"back in function this laptop again"
I love this guy's english
it is not bad at all.
What about you brother who the hell are you to say
Dont judge other people. to feel self better fool.
said the four eyed
10 miles of forehead
who still combs his hair like a Catholic School boy
Very nice
you love so many laptops
In first Congrats for the awesome work performed.
I have one of this using I5 M520 , I am using W10 but my bluetooth driver is not working, do you have the bluetooth driver link for W10?
The hardisk clicking sounds like something else 🙂
I'd be curious to see it's little brother, the 2540p, gaming hooked to your home-made egpu... Best ! (I'm very admirative of your work!)
I use this laptop every day I have 4gb ram i5 fun
i have that laptop :) im so happy with that :)
you can get a 740qm for it or even 840qm . this model supports it do to the dedicated gpu also the max for the 620 is 8gb
10:58 good part
best youtuber 2020
Hi thanks for the video. Where did you buy processor and RAM?, Any link suggestion?, Thank and appreciate
Can you make some tutorials about upgrading Cpu that compatible with the laptops? Thanks in advance, appreciate it
it uses the exact same gpu as the dell e6410 i put a i7 840qm ES on it and it works beautifully
Question for you Andrew: I just found one of these old treasures recently and realized after using it a while what a great computer it is for the price. But I would really like something thinner that still has great specs and upgradeability while still costing less than $300 or so on ebay like these do. Would you be able to recommend anything?
Same laptop as my dad but the w version. Sadly it had heat issue
i love your videos
I would deeply appreciate your advice on the following:
The graphic card on this laptop is Nvidia, which causing lot of problems & CPU overheating on Win 10 & Linux.
My question: Can I install a different graphic card, IF so which types or options you suggest?
Many thanks
you should try making an memtest86 bootable usb stick to test the RAM. Great tool!
Hi Andrew. Nice working. I always enjoy your videos. I have HP 1000 core i3 2nd gen product number c8c94pa. Its running on 256 SSD. If possible can you tell me what else can be upgrade? Can I use core i5 or core i7 processor on that?
Thanks in advance.
I remember my old elementary school had tons of these laptops in the library. Lol
I watched your all laptop restoration videos, there is a one question that crossed my mind. what are you doing to all those laptop?
I have an elite book nearly 2470p. It's 10 years old with an i7 and it's still runs fine with Windows 10. I can play classic games (Age of Empires II) GOG on the thing great and all the office stuff / internet/ video / audio streamng. I can draw with a Wacom stylus and is a great drawing tool in tablet mode. This thing is so old, it doesn't have an HDMI port, USB 3.0, but I think it has firewire (looks like the nuke symbol). it just as snappy a a budget laptop with all the great mechanical switches for wi-fi, volume, etc. it even has a pop up led on the screen bezel to shine on the keyboard instead of the common backlit keyboard today. better than a budget laptop in features and on par in performance. Just put in an SSD and maxed the RAM. I bought it to play Diablo II (4:3 screen so aspect ratio is perfect.)
That’s what I’m saying I fully agree
Thank
Make a video on you modding an all in one pc with a gpu. It would be nice to see one. I have one of those, and I think I can do some more upgrades soon. Mine is a 2009 Acer Aspire Z5600. It had touch screen, but the driver for it are not working anymore, and I was unable to get drivers. Either way, just wanted to tell you for a suggestion, that exact model or similar would be very nice though.
Thank you for the info. I have a Elitebook 8440p i5 chip, It is running Windows 7. and want to reset to factory settings. I tried tapping f11 as some suggested however that doesn't work. I would appreciate any advice, thank you.
The old hard drive is just making nice music :).
It looks like it has been used in a corporative environment, hence its good-looking shape (I think). Great reparing process BTW, maybe in 3-4 years it would be perfect for a low or mid-spec Linux distro. But I liked the outcome anyway.
This is a strange comment to make, I know - but your accent actually makes me want to keep watching every video you make.
Reborn Audio i was looking for this comment to make sure i wasn’t the only one lol
Usual russian(or another slavic?) accent.
What if the old disk is clicking constantly and freezing everything that tries to get any info from it? (Disk management software, device manager, hell, even bios and prevent the computer from booting)
Have you ever tried use an egpu on this kind of laptop?
Great video! I have in my Dell N5010 the same CPU (i3 380M) and I plan to upgrade it. After I saw your video, I want to ask you if I have to use only the first generation of CPUs? I know I have rPGA989 socket.
yeap
watched this. have a 8440w with a broken screen. thanks I'll go fix it now
seconds thought, can I sell them?
Also if you wanted a tad bit more processing power you could have added the Quad core i7 720Qm which is also compatible in this laptop.
Hey. Have you tried installing a quad-core i7 720QM in an 8440p laptop? Is the cooler able to manage the heat after the installation?
i3 380m was a great little monster.
