Great demonstration! Excellent instructions and easy to follow. I have one of these relics - hard drive, blue screen of death now. Following this video I found it easy to replace bad components. Thanks.
Very good presentation. I was attempting to replace the cover under the hinged stand and it is fighting me, so your video showed me that I am doing correctly but just haven't got it in the right position, yet. Thank you.
I want to thank you for your very quick response. I bought a new display and after reading your report I have the repair done by an expert. Thank you again. Jerry
Hello there! Just didnt know what to do when the AIO would refuse to power up! HP Support washed their hands off. Replaced the PSU brick with a generic HP Laptop brick and did the job! Thank you so much!
I had to clean the fans but forgot I needed that compound so I ordered the same one you used hope it’s a good one and I hope the computer actually still work once it’s reassembled 🤦🏽♀️
Just got the 600-1371 model free. Neighbor said the board was bad. Hoping I can use the touch screen and overall case, speakers, other working components and get them hooked up to a raspberry pi or other motherboard. Any suggestions?
I also installed the new to me cpu u have listed the 820 I believe the one at the top of the list and all I got was a black screen so it must not work on mine or i need to do something else. Thanks for all the help greatly appreciated.
As I wrote in my answer to your other comment, the 820 does NOT have an integrated GPU. So if your machine does not have a GPU installed in the MXM slot, you cannot use that one, since you will have no GPU at all then.
Hello,I got an HP TOUCHSMART QI 810 VISTA & INTEL CORE 2. Is it possible to download Windows 7 or Windows 10.If possible what needs changing.Please help.Many thanks.( Just to remind you ,I’m not a computer tech person )
Just so that others know, mine says 600-1050uk. However, if you look at 2:29, this video show 600 1000 (at the back) and that matches with mine as well. So I assume 600-1000 is the technical model and other variations (like 1050uk or 1140de ) are just commercial namings.
Pulled mines out the closest after years of sitting. I have model 600-1050, where is a good place online to find a replacement hard drive? This hard drive is pretty huge😬
Hi and thanks for this great DIY video. I'm just about to use it to upgrade CPU, RAM and swap HDD for SSD on a Touchsmart 600-1305t. I have a question that is only vaguely related but I figure this is the community that would have the best likelihood of knowing the answer. Since the machine is more than 10 years old, it no longer shows up on HP's support web site. Does anyone know of, or would be willing to share with me, the latest BIOS for this machine? I'm currently running "6.08 7/15/10".
Is there an external video graphics card that will plug into the onboard video card plug that you pointed out next to the wifi card? Or will a laptop card fit in there looks like the slot is the same?
As you can see in my video, there is an external video card plugged into that slot. If your machine does not have one installed, I am not sure, that any card you put in there will be recognized. If you have a card installed, you can change it. The Slot is called MXM. However, every MXM card can be different in terms of size, layout (cooler-position) and power consumption. You can try putting another card in that slot, but it might just not work.
Mine does have the card in it I was wondering then would one of the graphics card adapters such as the beast be able to plug into the mxm slot. Also did the ram upgrade and ordered the cpu i7 one closevto the top of the list u provided.
@@TheSkoto1 As for the MXM Slot I can not give you further advice, since I did not play around with that. I do not know, if the slot can be used at all, if there was no card installed from the factory, nor do I know, which cards can work in that slot. All I can tell you is, that my machine had a NVIDIA GeForce G210M installed. As for the CPU: Some CPUs come with integrated Graphics and some don't. If you don't have a dedicated card installed in the MXM slot, you need to choose a CPU with integrated graphics. For example the 820 and 720QM do not have a graphics card. I have added that information to the video description.
Sorry for posting so many different threads on your video, but this one is a different question. Do you know if this board will support the Core i7-920XM or Core i7-940XM CPUs?
Well, it's not officially supported by HP. It will fit, but it's one generation newer than the i7 820QM (which is the latest officially supported one) and has 10 Watts more power demand. My guess is, that it will work, but there is no guarantee.
If a 820qm does not fit in your machine, then you have a different machine than I talk about in this video. If you can tell me the model of you old CPU, I can recommend some replacements.
This is something, you could try. I don't know, if it will work. You can try first just to remove the Video Card form the Slot. Maybe the motherboad will automatically switch to the GPU inside the CPU, if available. I also think, I remember, that there is a second LVDS (Display) connector on the motherboard. Maybe this could be used for the internal GPU. I think it is close to the SATA-Ports somwhere. If the display cable is long enough, you could try plugging it in there (with the dedicated video card removed).
Hi. So I successfully upgrade my mom's TouchSmart back in, I think April. Before the pandemic, she didn't use it all that often, but now she's using it for work several hours/day. She's telling me now that towards the top, it's starting to get really hot, which I guess is near the heatsink, if I'm not mistaken. Any hints on what might be going on and how to fix this issue?
Is it going "out of sync" like lagging or leading by a few minutes, or does it keep reverting to the 90s? In the latter case, yes, you'll need to replace the battery.
@@NebukadV lagging, never leading. Also depends on how often I turn on the pc. If I leave it off for a few days, it could be as far out as a few days but if I turn on every day, the lag could be from a few minutes
@@hweilynong1424 That's actually a behaviour, that I have never encoutered before ^^ My own PC clock has always been a little bit "slow", so it laggs behind about one minute after one week. But this has nothing to do with the battery, it's just that my RTC (Real Time Clock) chip seems to be not very precise. Your case however is different. What I find strange is the fact, that depends on the PC beeing switched on or not. Usually, the RTC is powered also in standy. Meaning, as long as the AC power is attached, the RTC should be powered by that. Only if you disconnect the AC power adapter, the RTC should run off of the CMOS battery. If that is what you mean by "leave it off for a few days", than it could indeed be the CMOS battery. If on your machine, the CMOS battery is right next the the RAM slots, you could easily give it a try and just swap it out for a new one and see, if that fixes it.
Do you think the wifi card can be swapped with a newer intel one? Also the product page says it supports up to 820qm but there's also 840qm and 940 which are better for negligible price difference. Do any of you have any info if it supports those cpus aswell?
Pretty sure you can swap the WiFi card. About the CPU, you'd have to try yourself and maybe let everyone know. The CPU I used was also not on the HP support list. On the other hand, the 840qm and 940qm need more power so the MoBo might have issues to power them.
hello nebukadv, i´ve a touchsmart 600 1410es with i3 350m. I bought a micro i7 820qm that is compatible with your same board IMPIP-M5 REV 1.03.BIN. did you have to update the bios or did I automatically detect the new micro? Do you have a copy of your bios? regards.
Hi! I just checked my files and did not find any BIOS-Update. So I'm pretty sure, I did not have to update the BIOS. In my case, it was only a small upgrade of the CPU so I did not expect any problems anyway. Also in your case I think you should be fine, since your CPU is officially supported by HP and it doesn't say anything about a required BIOS update on the HP Support Page. I'd say: Just go for it! It should work fine.
@@philbattaglia2142 Did the CPU upgrade on it's own work? The MXM GPU upgrade is always a gamble. I have no idea, what GPUs are supported and if there is anything else, that you need to do, in order to make the system work with the external GPU. I hope, I somehow made this clear in the video.
I purchased a intel i5 560m and did not fit this model of computer. Is it possible the pocket is different in mine? My cpu is an intel core duo 2 T6500, any recommendations for compatible ones that would fit and upgrade my computer?
Hi! Sorry to hear that. You wrote your model number in a different comment, but of course I did not cross-check it myself. As you can see from the HP website (first link on google): support.hp.com/ee-en/document/c01862319 it only supports Core2Duo CPUs. You could of course get a T9500, but even that is only about 20% faster, so maybe not worth the hassle
NebukadV thanks for the reply. Now I’m just trying to upgrade the hdd and ram. I am having trouble getting a bootable usb to install windows on this computer. Any advice on how to do that? I only have a MacBook Pro available to install windows onto this computer.
Hi NebukedV, I have HP touchsmart 600-1000( Input 18.5V -6.5A ) with Intel(R) Pentium (R) CPU P6100@ 2.00GHz With 4.00 GB RAM. Computer runs very slow, can I make the computer faster by replacing the CPU, if so, which CPU will be compatible ? Thanks!
Yes you can! All CPUs, that I listed in the video description should be compatible. Just choose, whatever you can get on the cheap. Also, I would advice to replace the mechanical hard drive with an SSD and do a fresh installation of Windows. That will also drastically improve the perceived speed of your machine.
@@NebukadV Thanks for your kind and prompt reply. I, however, still can't figure out as to which CPU replacement will be compatible before, I order one ? If you could please specify the details, I shall be obliged.
Do you think that I could replace the motherboard from a touchsmart 600 1100t to the motherboard in this model? I ask for two reasons 1) this model motherboard accepts cpus above intel duo cores, allowing me to use i3 and above 2) my model uses the built in gpu you mentioned in this video and I am not sure that the bios allows for the mxm1 gpu slot to be used since my model 1100t didn’t come installed with one. I know that if I do this I will also need to add a heat sink and fan for the gpu, as mine lacks those items, but in that case, as it was massed produced, the case does allow for that. Just wondering, though I know that since this is an old video I may never hear back. My model uses the pegatron e60 board and the one in this video is the e66. More details, this board is the impip m5 I believe, mine is the ipp7a m5. Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks!
Interesting idea. If found the HP support Document for the E60 board: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01903963 If you compare this to the Document for the E66: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02017992 They look almost identical. Same phsycial dimensions, same connectors in the same spots. The CPU socket is in a different position, so you will need the matching heat-sink. As for the GPU: I'm not sure, if the motherboard is able to switch between onboard and MXM video simply by adding or removing the MXM card. Maybe the BIOS is written in a way, that it only works one configuration for a given machine. This would have to be tested. Also make sure, your power adaptor is strong enough. With the E66 board, possible i7 processor and maybe MXM GPU, the unit will take up to 150Watts instead of the 120Watts, which the 1100t is rated for.
First things first! Thank you so much for your response. I had spent about a week researching this and found nothing online. I saw the same spec pages you posted but I was more interested in the I/o layout then I was noticing the placement of the cpu and the power requirements(obviously I’m a novice and both of those should have been red flags). At the point I posed this question I had already ordered ram and a t9900 duo core. But I had mainly had questions about adding the mxm graphics card and the heat sink and fan. After looking up the prices for all the various components required, the whole objective is a waste of time. I’m better off just buying the e66 build and replacing the cpu and ram, but the mental exercise was enjoyable and your response was the cake topper! I had been watching this video as soon as a friend of mine asked me to get all their old data off it, which I did, and they gave me the computer as payment. I just thought it would be a good kitchen computer for the family. I had some old ddr3 4gb sodimm ram laying around so I bumped it from 4gb to 6gb, I have another 4gb coming to make it max out at 8gb. I’m sure it will work fine as is, for what I want to use it for. For 2009 the screen is large and of good quality. It’s not a gaming PC but for streaming videos while I wash dishes, it should work just fine! Thanks so much again for your timely response and the quality of your answer. Please post more videos! Thanks!
I have parts coming in the mail today, RAM and hard drive. Do you recommend I do them both at once or do the RAM first? I'm going to be using MiniTool Partition Wizard, free. I'm just worried about crashes during the drive copy process due to only 4 GB RAM, initially. Will that be a problem? I'm upgrading to 8GB RAM.
Why should there be crashes? If th OS is running on 4 GB (which it sure is), it will also have no problem copying files ;) But how will you connect both drives to the machine at the same time?
Thankyou for the video it was very helpful. I was looking to upgrade the GPU (currently mine does not have one) I found the correct gpu but am unable to locate the part number for the heat sync to cross reference. Could you provide a link or help to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
I don't think, I can help you there. Replacing the screen in this unit is about the hardest thing to do here ;) You have to take EVERYTHING apart and build it back together around the new screen. I have not done this and I don't have the unit at hand anymore. When you can get a replacement screen and feel confident, you can give it a try, but as I said: You're on your own with that - I can certainly not help you with that.
Thanks I dismantle mines while watching your videos I’m just curious about that chip you holding I know my hp have 1tb but confused on which one is the hard drive memory and the ram or ssd
Great Video! I am see in the 600-1155 model that that GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GT230 1GB. Is that the exact one I need to replace or is there some other terms I need to add to find the one I need?
You might want to add "MXM" to your search. MXM is the interface- and form-factor-definition. If you have found a listing, compare the pictures with what you can see in this video to make sure, the card fits and has the right connecfor.
@@NebukadV thank you for your reply. I believe I found the right one. Hoping this is why it will not start and does the beeping pattern of a failed GPU device.
Your video gave me the courage to take apart a computer for the first time ever! Easy to follow, and I thought I did everything right (installed new fans) but now the computer doesn't work at all. The fans turn on (yay), but nothing else happens. What could I have done wrong? Recommendations for troubleshooting?
@@nachosmommy Then it could be something easy: Maybe by removing the cooler, you slightly moved the CPU in the socket, so just open the socket, make sure, the CPU is all the way in, and close it again with the screw. Or maybe you did not put the RAM back in properly. Or - if you're not so lucky - you could have damaged the CPU itself. Did you even remove the whole cooling assembly to replace the fan? I can't do more than guessing here, since I don't know, what exactly you did. But there has to be something else you did than just swapping the fans.
@@NebukadV I unscrewed the heat sink from the top of the CPU and took it off. After attaching it to the new fan I screwed it back on. Maybe I did damage the CPU, would that lead to the issues I have?
Hi I have this same computer and being that it's so old now. And I want to make it faster and better overall instead of buying a new PC. I really like this computer. What components can I swap and upgrade to make this pc up to date and better?
Knowing your exact current configuration would help ;) You will never make this a fast workstation or gaming-PC as of todays standards, but here are the things you can swap (from easiest to hardest as well as from most to least effective): 1) HDD --> SSD will improve the overall reativeness and fidelity of the system vastly. 2) RAM upgrade to 8GB - that's all you'll ever need in a machine like this. 3) CPU upgrade - either to a fast dual-core ( i.e. i7-620M) or if you're really keen and have a need for high thread count a quad-core (i.e. Intel Core i7 820QM Quad Core) 4) GPU - I have not done it and dont know, what GPUs might work in this machine. It's possible, but complicated and you could end up with incompatibilities.
@@NebukadV wow!! I appreciate the fast response. And actually I have the 600-1370 model. And I believe my hard drive is fried. Giving me error code Boot test- FAILED. error code - BIOHD4. I dont even think it's worth it and just get a new "all in one" pc
@@rindershow212 An SSD can be bought for 20-30 bucks these days. Pop a fresh install of your favorite Windows on it and you won't recognize this machine anymore! Then you might also double up on the RAM and put another 4GB in it (can be found for 10-15 bucks used). Your CPU ist pretty decent. I wouldn't recommend to get a whole new machine.
Nice work. I'm curious when did you realize that the CPU fan has left disconnected? I'm guessing you did have to take it apart again? I have the 610 model from 2011 and want to replace the HDD with SSD and upgreade the RAM. Mine has an I7 cpu which is still acceptable.
@@NebukadV Can you also tell me which graphics card can be installed at most? I currently have a Geforce 3900M GS installed. Unfortunately, this is a bit too slow.
@@rhein-sondler No, I cannot, since I did not concern myself with the GPU at all. However, here are some hints for your research: Try to find a GPU with the same interface ( MXM 3.0 TypeA) and similar power requirements as the one installed. For example the GeForce GT 230M would work most likely.
@@rogerruiz9359 You can bend the heatpipe, but only a little bit. If the cpu socket on the new M/B is just a couple of mm out of place, you can make one of two small bends in the heatpipe. But you will not be able to bend it in such a way, that it can reach a completely different spot on the board.
@@NebukadV thank you a lot i have change it it works nice i have 2 problemas the speakers connector has changed from 1 off 10 pins to two off 4 pines how can i connect do you know the digramas, and i blend a litle the heatpipe but it doesnt reduce the heat a lot and when i work a lot it turns off
Hello NebukadV and thanks for the video, it really helps. I just need a little tip: I bought a Samsung EVO SSD but when I went for USB Windows 10 installing I found there is not the USB in the boot device window. I tried also with a DVD-burned iso bit it seems not to be read by the DVD drive so... I am in an impasse! Thanks in advance!
There's a couple of things, I could tell you at this point: If you just want to get the OS running on the new drive as it was before, so you don't necessarily want to do a fresh install, there is another way: You could simply clone the content of the old hard drive 1:1 to the new one. I believe, there is even a Samsung-Tool, that helps you with that. If you want to proceed with a fresh install, there is some things to take care of. - USB drives are often not shown as dedicated "USB"-Drives. On a lot of older systems, they show up in the regular "Hard drives" list and then you have to select the order of harddrives accordingly. - In order to make USB drives be detected by the BIOS, they have to be formatted in a certain way before copying the installation files to them. There are a lot of tutorials and small tools out there, to get you up and running. - But it might just be the case, that this machine does not support booting from USB after all. I honestly don't remeber, if mine did. But booting from DVD should always be possible. The original Backup-Disc was also a DVD. In that case, it's just a matter of properly burning the image to the disc. I can only tell you these things, but I cannot really guide you trough the setup 1:1.
@@NebukadV thank you for your reply! I solved my problem with a little bit of luck: I inserted an old USB 2.0 flash drive to make a backup of a couple of pictures folder and after that turned off the PC. When I turned on again in, I tried to check again the boot menu and the flash drive was there, in the list of bootable drivers. So I realized that the problem was the flash drive used the first time it's a USB 3.0 and maybe the BIOS can't read that: I just tried another Windows 10 USB installation, this time with a 2.0 flash drive, and it worked like a charm! Now with a SSD SamsungEVO my old hp touchsmart starts in 20 seconds and it's reborn!
I don't actually know, if that's possible, but I doubt it. You would have to find a board with the exact same dimensions (outlines, screw positions etc.) as well as the exact same connectors on the same positions.
@@NebukadV so possibly, but it would require heavy modification, and maybe even 3D printing to fit in an ATX- Mini board. Doable, but beyond my skillset.
@@JoshCartman I thought, your idea was to use the motherboard form another TouchSmart machine. Using a regular mini-ATX/-ITX board presents you with a whole new set of challanges ;) Some examples: You would need a Pico-PSU or something similar to create all the needed voltages, you would need to replace nearly every connector in the machine (fan connectors, power connectors, front panel USB), since they are all non-standard and then there is the graphics. Maybe you can use the integrated GPU from your new CPU, but you would have to have a ribbon connector with an LVDS connector on it to control the build-in screen. Non regular motherboard I know of has that.
@@NebukadV I basically want to upgrade the thing. So much hardware involved and the thing looks nice, too, it's just VERY slow. The fastest CPU I saw compatible was the I7-840QM, but that doesn't support GPU like the stock one, correct? Then what do I do for GPU, is there one dedicated inside? Also, would you know if the WiFi is upgradable?
@@NebukadV Entschuldigen Sie bitte die mir unterlaufenen Fehler. Ich kann leider kein Englisch. Ich wollte bloß wissen, wie groß der Stecker sein soll, die mit dem von Ihnen gekauften Netzteil kommt. Oder ist es so, dass, wenn ich ein HP Netzteil bestelle mit diesen Volt und Ampere Angaben automatisch mit dem richtigen Stecker kommt. Ich habe nämlich das gleiche Problem wie Sie gehabt haben. Sprich: mir Fehlt the power Suply unit. Mit vielen Dank im Voraus. GP
Don't go for the really cheap no-name china crap. If you're a regular user, just take the cheapest brand ssd you can find (SanDisk, Crucial, etc.). If you are kind of a power-user and want some more confidence or need a certain workload, go for Samsung EVO.
@@arnoldogonzalezjr8658 "2GB"? I think you meas "2TB" which is a lot, especially for a old machine like this. But if you got the money, why not^^ "Sold on amazon" - why does it matter, where it's sold? Aparat from that: I don't have experience with Seagate SSDs, but as I said in my previous reply: As long as you go for a real name brand - and Seagate certainly is - you should be fine.
NebukadV thanks for the speedy reply! Sorry I was looking at ram and hard drives and got mixed up. Yes, it’s a 2TB SSD. With an upgrade in ssd, ram and cpu, is there anything else that should be replaced on this old unit to keep up with the new hardware? I have an HP 600-1050. I am very new to computer repair/rebuilding. The hard drive I was looking at is an HDD not an SSD. Does that matter?
@@arnoldogonzalezjr8658 "to keep up with the new hardware" This unit will not be as good/fast as a machine will all new parts, that's just not gonna happen. It will just be a lot faster than it might be now. Nope, there is nothing else that I would replace. HDD vs. SSD: It does not matter so much for the upgrade process, but it makes a big or even huge difference in the outcome. I would suggest to just google "HDD vs. SSD" or watch the next best video you can find on youtube ...
Oh no, how could the PC have been running for the last 5 years? Thanks for the info /s BTW: What is a CPU cable? Last time I checked, CPUs connect via LGA, PGA or BGA. You read the note at 16:10, did you not?

Mine does not have a removable card only the slot. Thanks for the video. Very helpful and I'll experiment to see what works. . 16:55
Sorry for posting so many different threads on your video, but this one is a different question. Do you know if this board will support the Core i7-920XM or Core i7-940XM CPUs?
Well, it's not officially supported by HP. It will fit, but it's one generation newer than the i7 820QM (which is the latest officially supported one) and has 10 Watts more power demand.
My guess is, that it will work, but there is no guarantee.
Red Pill Germany? Is that you, my genius, German friend?
I bought an i7 820 qm but not (c) and it is bigger does not enter what is the best processor I can buy can you give the exact parameters
If a 820qm does not fit in your machine, then you have a different machine than I talk about in this video. If you can tell me the model of you old CPU, I can recommend some replacements.
Olá! Preciso de uma tela dessa HP 23" Vc consegue?
Thanks for the video.
Is It possible left the video Cars and use the grafics from the motherboard?
This is something, you could try. I don't know, if it will work.
You can try first just to remove the Video Card form the Slot. Maybe the motherboad will automatically switch to the GPU inside the CPU, if available.
I also think, I remember, that there is a second LVDS (Display) connector on the motherboard. Maybe this could be used for the internal GPU. I think it is close to the SATA-Ports somwhere. If the display cable is long enough, you could try plugging it in there (with the dedicated video card removed).
Hi. So I successfully upgrade my mom's TouchSmart back in, I think April. Before the pandemic, she didn't use it all that often, but now she's using it for work several hours/day. She's telling me now that towards the top, it's starting to get really hot, which I guess is near the heatsink, if I'm not mistaken. Any hints on what might be going on and how to fix this issue?
My clock keeps going out of sync. Do I have to replace the CMOS battery on the Touchsmart 600?
Is it going "out of sync" like lagging or leading by a few minutes, or does it keep reverting to the 90s? In the latter case, yes, you'll need to replace the battery.
@@NebukadV lagging, never leading. Also depends on how often I turn on the pc. If I leave it off for a few days, it could be as far out as a few days but if I turn on every day, the lag could be from a few minutes
@@hweilynong1424 That's actually a behaviour, that I have never encoutered before ^^
My own PC clock has always been a little bit "slow", so it laggs behind about one minute after one week. But this has nothing to do with the battery, it's just that my RTC (Real Time Clock) chip seems to be not very precise.
Your case however is different. What I find strange is the fact, that depends on the PC beeing switched on or not. Usually, the RTC is powered also in standy. Meaning, as long as the AC power is attached, the RTC should be powered by that. Only if you disconnect the AC power adapter, the RTC should run off of the CMOS battery. If that is what you mean by "leave it off for a few days", than it could indeed be the CMOS battery.
If on your machine, the CMOS battery is right next the the RAM slots, you could easily give it a try and just swap it out for a new one and see, if that fixes it.
@@NebukadV thanks for your advice, I changed out the battery and will observe for a bit. So far it has been in sync after the battery replacement.
Do you think the wifi card can be swapped with a newer intel one? Also the product page says it supports up to 820qm but there's also 840qm and 940 which are better for negligible price difference. Do any of you have any info if it supports those cpus aswell?
Pretty sure you can swap the WiFi card. About the CPU, you'd have to try yourself and maybe let everyone know. The CPU I used was also not on the HP support list. On the other hand, the 840qm and 940qm need more power so the MoBo might have issues to power them.
hello nebukadv, i´ve a touchsmart 600 1410es with i3 350m. I bought a micro i7 820qm that is compatible with your same board IMPIP-M5 REV 1.03.BIN. did you have to update the bios or did I automatically detect the new micro? Do you have a copy of your bios? regards.
Hi! I just checked my files and did not find any BIOS-Update. So I'm pretty sure, I did not have to update the BIOS. In my case, it was only a small upgrade of the CPU so I did not expect any problems anyway. Also in your case I think you should be fine, since your CPU is officially supported by HP and it doesn't say anything about a required BIOS update on the HP Support Page. I'd say: Just go for it! It should work fine.
@@philbattaglia2142 Did the CPU upgrade on it's own work?
The MXM GPU upgrade is always a gamble. I have no idea, what GPUs are supported and if there is anything else, that you need to do, in order to make the system work with the external GPU. I hope, I somehow made this clear in the video.
@@NebukadV Sorry, my question was for tecnosrc about his experience.
I am confused with it's ram, DDR3 PC3 10600 ram for desktop seems bigger for this HP Touchsmart... should i use ram for laptop?
As I said at around 4:33, the machine uses "SO"-Dimm Sticks. SO stands for "small outline" aka. Laptop memory ;)
I purchased a intel i5 560m and did not fit this model of computer. Is it possible the pocket is different in mine? My cpu is an intel core duo 2 T6500, any recommendations for compatible ones that would fit and upgrade my computer?
Hi! Sorry to hear that. You wrote your model number in a different comment, but of course I did not cross-check it myself. As you can see from the HP website (first link on google):
support.hp.com/ee-en/document/c01862319 it only supports Core2Duo CPUs. You could of course get a T9500, but even that is only about 20% faster, so maybe not worth the hassle
NebukadV thanks for the reply. Now I’m just trying to upgrade the hdd and ram. I am having trouble getting a bootable usb to install windows on this computer. Any advice on how to do that? I only have a MacBook Pro available to install windows onto this computer.
Hi NebukedV, I have HP touchsmart 600-1000( Input 18.5V -6.5A ) with Intel(R) Pentium (R) CPU P6100@ 2.00GHz With 4.00 GB RAM. Computer runs very slow, can I make the computer faster by replacing the CPU, if so, which CPU will be compatible ? Thanks!
Yes you can! All CPUs, that I listed in the video description should be compatible. Just choose, whatever you can get on the cheap. Also, I would advice to replace the mechanical hard drive with an SSD and do a fresh installation of Windows. That will also drastically improve the perceived speed of your machine.
@@NebukadV Thanks for your kind and prompt reply. I, however, still can't figure out as to which CPU replacement will be compatible before, I order one ? If you could please specify the details, I shall be obliged.
@@Peter-jg2ux Again: Look at the description of my video. There you will find a list.
That list is the answer to your question.
Amazing video
Do you think that I could replace the motherboard from a touchsmart 600 1100t to the motherboard in this model? I ask for two reasons 1) this model motherboard accepts cpus above intel duo cores, allowing me to use i3 and above 2) my model uses the built in gpu you mentioned in this video and I am not sure that the bios allows for the mxm1 gpu slot to be used since my model 1100t didn’t come installed with one. I know that if I do this I will also need to add a heat sink and fan for the gpu, as mine lacks those items, but in that case, as it was massed produced, the case does allow for that. Just wondering, though I know that since this is an old video I may never hear back. My model uses the pegatron e60 board and the one in this video is the e66. More details, this board is the impip m5 I believe, mine is the ipp7a m5. Just looking for your thoughts. Thanks!
Btw I got this computer for free. I have much newer and better systems, this is more of just an experiment.
Interesting idea.
If found the HP support Document for the E60 board: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01903963
If you compare this to the Document for the E66: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02017992
They look almost identical. Same phsycial dimensions, same connectors in the same spots.
The CPU socket is in a different position, so you will need the matching heat-sink.
As for the GPU: I'm not sure, if the motherboard is able to switch between onboard and MXM video simply by adding or removing the MXM card. Maybe the BIOS is written in a way, that it only works one configuration for a given machine. This would have to be tested.
Also make sure, your power adaptor is strong enough. With the E66 board, possible i7 processor and maybe MXM GPU, the unit will take up to 150Watts instead of the 120Watts, which the 1100t is rated for.
First things first! Thank you so much for your response. I had spent about a week researching this and found nothing online. I saw the same spec pages you posted but I was more interested in the I/o layout then I was noticing the placement of the cpu and the power requirements(obviously I’m a novice and both of those should have been red flags). At the point I posed this question I had already ordered ram and a t9900 duo core. But I had mainly had questions about adding the mxm graphics card and the heat sink and fan. After looking up the prices for all the various components required, the whole objective is a waste of time. I’m better off just buying the e66 build and replacing the cpu and ram, but the mental exercise was enjoyable and your response was the cake topper! I had been watching this video as soon as a friend of mine asked me to get all their old data off it, which I did, and they gave me the computer as payment. I just thought it would be a good kitchen computer for the family. I had some old ddr3 4gb sodimm ram laying around so I bumped it from 4gb to 6gb, I have another 4gb coming to make it max out at 8gb. I’m sure it will work fine as is, for what I want to use it for. For 2009 the screen is large and of good quality. It’s not a gaming PC but for streaming videos while I wash dishes, it should work just fine! Thanks so much again for your timely response and the quality of your answer. Please post more videos! Thanks!
For some reason it won’t turn on it worked fine yesterday any suggestions
I have parts coming in the mail today, RAM and hard drive. Do you recommend I do them both at once or do the RAM first? I'm going to be using MiniTool Partition Wizard, free. I'm just worried about crashes during the drive copy process due to only 4 GB RAM, initially. Will that be a problem? I'm upgrading to 8GB RAM.
Why should there be crashes? If th OS is running on 4 GB (which it sure is), it will also have no problem copying files ;)
But how will you connect both drives to the machine at the same time?
@@NebukadV via usb. I have an adapter.
I got the TouchScreen upgraded, thanks! Your video helped me. I'd forgotten about one part so I had to re-watch why I couldn't get the HDD out. Oops.
Thankyou for the video it was very helpful. I was looking to upgrade the GPU (currently mine does not have one) I found the correct gpu but am unable to locate the part number for the heat sync to cross reference. Could you provide a link or help to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I'd like to replace the display. But I don't know how to do it. Will youhelp me ? Tenkyou very much.
I don't think, I can help you there. Replacing the screen in this unit is about the hardest thing to do here ;)
You have to take EVERYTHING apart and build it back together around the new screen. I have not done this and I don't have the unit at hand anymore.
When you can get a replacement screen and feel confident, you can give it a try, but as I said: You're on your own with that - I can certainly not help you with that.
Thanks I dismantle mines while watching your videos I’m just curious about that chip you holding I know my hp have 1tb but confused on which one is the hard drive memory and the ram or ssd
Hard drive/SSD: 5:03
RAM/memory: 4:30
Great Video! I am see in the 600-1155 model that that GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GT230 1GB. Is that the exact one I need to replace or is there some other terms I need to add to find the one I need?
You might want to add "MXM" to your search. MXM is the interface- and form-factor-definition. If you have found a listing, compare the pictures with what you can see in this video to make sure, the card fits and has the right connecfor.
@@NebukadV thank you for your reply. I believe I found the right one. Hoping this is why it will not start and does the beeping pattern of a failed GPU device.
thank you
Your video gave me the courage to take apart a computer for the first time ever! Easy to follow, and I thought I did everything right (installed new fans) but now the computer doesn't work at all. The fans turn on (yay), but nothing else happens. What could I have done wrong? Recommendations for troubleshooting?
Did you change anything other than the fans?
@@NebukadV no
@@nachosmommy Then it could be something easy: Maybe by removing the cooler, you slightly moved the CPU in the socket, so just open the socket, make sure, the CPU is all the way in, and close it again with the screw. Or maybe you did not put the RAM back in properly.
Or - if you're not so lucky - you could have damaged the CPU itself. Did you even remove the whole cooling assembly to replace the fan?
I can't do more than guessing here, since I don't know, what exactly you did. But there has to be something else you did than just swapping the fans.
@@NebukadV I unscrewed the heat sink from the top of the CPU and took it off. After attaching it to the new fan I screwed it back on. Maybe I did damage the CPU, would that lead to the issues I have?
I never touched the RAM
Hi I have this same computer and being that it's so old now. And I want to make it faster and better overall instead of buying a new PC. I really like this computer. What components can I swap and upgrade to make this pc up to date and better?
Knowing your exact current configuration would help ;)
You will never make this a fast workstation or gaming-PC as of todays standards, but here are the things you can swap (from easiest to hardest as well as from most to least effective):
1) HDD --> SSD will improve the overall reativeness and fidelity of the system vastly.
2) RAM upgrade to 8GB - that's all you'll ever need in a machine like this.
3) CPU upgrade - either to a fast dual-core (
i.e.
i7-620M) or if you're really keen and have a need for high thread count a quad-core (i.e. Intel Core i7 820QM Quad Core)
4) GPU - I have not done it and dont know, what GPUs might work in this machine. It's possible, but complicated and you could end up with incompatibilities.
@@NebukadV wow!! I appreciate the fast response. And actually I have the 600-1370 model. And I believe my hard drive is fried. Giving me error code Boot test- FAILED. error code - BIOHD4.
I dont even think it's worth it and just get a new "all in one" pc
@@rindershow212 An SSD can be bought for 20-30 bucks these days. Pop a fresh install of your favorite Windows on it and you won't recognize this machine anymore! Then you might also double up on the RAM and put another 4GB in it (can be found for 10-15 bucks used). Your CPU ist pretty decent. I wouldn't recommend to get a whole new machine.
@@NebukadV I really appreciate it. I guess I will not purchase another one,I will just upgrade components like you say. Thanks a bunch.
Nice work. I'm curious when did you realize that the CPU fan has left disconnected? I'm guessing you did have to take it apart again? I have the 610 model from 2011 and want to replace the HDD with SSD and upgreade the RAM. Mine has an I7 cpu which is still acceptable.
Of course I realized it only after I put everything back together and it said "CPU FAN ERROR" during Post ...
Hello, it is possible to incert the Core i7-840QM?
I can't know for sure, but I would give it a try.
@@NebukadV Can you also tell me which graphics card can be installed at most? I currently have a Geforce 3900M GS installed. Unfortunately, this is a bit too slow.
@@rhein-sondler No, I cannot, since I did not concern myself with the GPU at all.
However, here are some hints for your research:
Try to find a GPU with the same interface ( MXM 3.0 TypeA) and similar power requirements as the one installed. For example the GeForce GT 230M would work most likely.
@@NebukadV thanks. 😊👍
Thanks, can ask you if i can change the mother board to one that accept a I7 microprocessor
This Motherboard does accept i7 processors (see video description). I don't any other mainbaord would fit in this machine.
@@NebukadV thank you can i ask you if a change the mother board the CPU cooler moves so can i blend the copper to fit
@@rogerruiz9359 You can bend the heatpipe, but only a little bit. If the cpu socket on the new M/B is just a couple of mm out of place, you can make one of two small bends in the heatpipe. But you will not be able to bend it in such a way, that it can reach a completely different spot on the board.

Hello NebukadV and thanks for the video, it really helps.
I just need a little tip: I bought a Samsung EVO SSD but when I went for USB Windows 10 installing I found there is not the USB in the boot device window.
I tried also with a DVD-burned iso bit it seems not to be read by the DVD drive so... I am in an impasse!
Thanks in advance!
There's a couple of things, I could tell you at this point:
If you just want to get the OS running on the new drive as it was before, so you don't necessarily want to do a fresh install, there is another way: You could simply clone the content of the old hard drive 1:1 to the new one. I believe, there is even a Samsung-Tool, that helps you with that.
If you want to proceed with a fresh install, there is some things to take care of.
- USB drives are often not shown as dedicated "USB"-Drives. On a lot of older systems, they show up in the regular "Hard drives" list and then you have to select the order of harddrives accordingly.
- In order to make USB drives be detected by the BIOS, they have to be formatted in a certain way before copying the installation files to them. There are a lot of tutorials and small tools out there, to get you up and running.
- But it might just be the case, that this machine does not support booting from USB after all. I honestly don't remeber, if mine did. But booting from DVD should always be possible. The original Backup-Disc was also a DVD. In that case, it's just a matter of properly burning the image to the disc.
I can only tell you these things, but I cannot really guide you trough the setup 1:1.
@@NebukadV thank you for your reply!
I solved my problem with a little bit of luck: I inserted an old USB 2.0 flash drive to make a backup of a couple of pictures folder and after that turned off the PC.
When I turned on again in, I tried to check again the boot menu and the flash drive was there, in the list of bootable drivers. So I realized that the problem was the flash drive used the first time it's a USB 3.0 and maybe the BIOS can't read that: I just tried another Windows 10 USB installation, this time with a 2.0 flash drive, and it worked like a charm!

Then the RAM is not compatible with your machine.
Is there a way to upgrade the motherboard of this?
I don't actually know, if that's possible, but I doubt it. You would have to find a board with the exact same dimensions (outlines, screw positions etc.) as well as the exact same connectors on the same positions.
@@NebukadV so possibly, but it would require heavy modification, and maybe even 3D printing to fit in an ATX- Mini board. Doable, but beyond my skillset.
@@JoshCartman I thought, your idea was to use the motherboard form another TouchSmart machine.
Using a regular mini-ATX/-ITX board presents you with a whole new set of challanges ;)
Some examples: You would need a Pico-PSU or something similar to create all the needed voltages, you would need to replace nearly every connector in the machine (fan connectors, power connectors, front panel USB), since they are all non-standard and then there is the graphics. Maybe you can use the integrated GPU from your new CPU, but you would have to have a ribbon connector with an LVDS connector on it to control the build-in screen. Non regular motherboard I know of has that.
@@NebukadV I basically want to upgrade the thing. So much hardware involved and the thing looks nice, too, it's just VERY slow. The fastest CPU I saw compatible was the I7-840QM, but that doesn't support GPU like the stock one, correct? Then what do I do for GPU, is there one dedicated inside? Also, would you know if the WiFi is upgradable?

NebukadV thanks for the speedy reply! Sorry I was looking at ram and hard drives and got mixed up. Yes, it’s a 2TB SSD. With an upgrade in ssd, ram and cpu, is there anything else that should be replaced on this old unit to keep up with the new hardware? I have an HP 600-1050.
