congratulations to the engineers who found a way to get your laptop completely disassembled to increase the RAM
LOL, they couldn't make it much harder!!
Yeah, I bet the "A hole" designers hug themselves to sleep every night for lowering the manufacturing costs by $2, and the total parts count by 1x lower access hatch, 1x screw, and 6 bleeding square inches of RF shield tape !
I worked in IT hardware repairs for multiple national companies for over 20 years, and this one cost cutting measure of not adding an access hatch for the memory would have been enough for me to recommend sourcing an alternative brand of laptop. If a new piece of software dictates that 2 or 3 hundred laptops all need to have their memory upgraded, there's a significant department cost difference between the ONE minute it would take to pop off a cover, take out the old mem stick, slot in the new one, test it's recognised by the laptop, and move to the next desk, Vs the 2 hour minimum it would take per unit to go FETCH the laptop from the user, bring it to your static free work bench, strip the motherboard out of it, swap the memory, reassemble it, test EVERYTHING that you had to disconnect during the upgrade, then return it to the user !
This simple lack of an access hatch would mean the difference between having 10 IT guys easily blitzing the whole lot in 2 days, opposed to it taking ALL the IT guys the company has (And often, as many extra outside contractors as your budget will allow) dedicating over a week to the repetitive chaos of stripping and rebuilding laptops. It turns a simple task (that could even be palmed off onto interns) into an expensive extended logistical nightmare.
The only reason I came to look at this video was because a friend just dropped off their kids 255 G3 and asked if I could work out why it randomly crashes. I was going to swap out the ram to see if that changes anything AS IT'S USUALLY THE SIMPLEST STARTING POINT, but now I don't think I'm going to bother unless I've ruled out pretty much everything else. It COULD be faulty memory, but swapping that's now right down the list, and it's even BELOW him loosing all his date because of a fresh windows install !
@@Reman1975 yep. right on. i agree with every word of this assessment.
the procedure for upgrading this thing is utterly ridiculous.
Hey HP.... How simple would a removable RAM cover have been? SUPER SIMPLE!! Way to go engineers, smh
This convoluted way of accessing RAM has put me off HP products.
apparently the next model had easier way of changing it.
I've seen quicker DC jack fixes - even done the odd one (not a solder job)
This is one of the worst and most involved process to upgrade the RAM. I don't recommend trying it unless you are very mechanically inclined and have experience with the ribbon cable connectors they use today. I had the most trouble with the keyboard connector, because the little black plastic piece came off completely and it was difficult to put back on. If this happens to you, be aware that the side of that black strip with little holes in it actually slides over the top metal fingers in a vertical orientation, and then once the cable is inserted, you push it down into a horizontal orientation, and it clicks into place. The video does NOT show exactly how these connectors are released. In most cases, the black strip is to be rotated up before the cable is pulled out. Got it done after additional time monkeying with that connector and now it is working fine.
The ribbon connector black piece flips up. It's actually easier than the slide type ribbon connector.
@@encinobalboa Yeah, and these ZIF ribbon sockets are way better than the god awful push in friction fit connectors that were used before them. On those it was a race between thermal creep pushing the ribbon out and oxidisation causing the pins to lose connection with the ribbons contacts !
Thank you very much for sharing. People like you help me to accomplish what otherwise would be a nightmare. God bless you.
Very useful, good instructions, exactly what I needed. Thanks
Does it makes actually a difference if i put in a Kingston 8gb? And btw can i put an ssd inside?
I disassembled my HP 250 G3 and found no fan inside! My pc was crushing every hour or so and I couldn't even play flash online games.
Same as mine bro
Very helpful thanks. Job done now. Would not otherwise have attempted this as the G£ laptop needs to be almost comletely dismantled to change the RAM - 0/10 for design.
My HP 255 has one RAM slot so 8GB is all it can take. Upgrading was a royal pain. Toshiba and Dell have an access door and usually have two slots to 16GB is doable. W10 needs 16GB to run without paging.
If you have large and fast enough SSD at least around 500GB, you could survive even with 4GB or RAM. For "office mode" work. What do you think?
@@marcoolinho SSD lifespan is determined by read write cycles. If your laptop is caching or paging memory to the SSD because of low RAM, SSD lifespan is being shortened.
Instead of doing this, i just removed plastic part on the bottom of laptop eith knife and then installed ram, way easier way to go 😉
thanks for the video, help a lots. just one comments, it is not necessary to unscrew the two hidden screws hidden by the rubber pad. Also, my mouse not working after reassemble, any suggestions on this? thanks.
Thanks for the guide.
This laptop is terrible to disassembly. What's the point of making it so hard to access ram...
Very professional! Great job!
well i thought i was going to do it but looking at the vid sod it comp shop will ill just pay
Thanks, Appreciate you!
Hp 250 G3 Laptop has how many RAM Slots?
One.
wtf they made it so time consuming to swap out simple ram
Hi will this work in hp 240 g3?
Zaczyna sie zajebiscie.
Otwieraka potrzebuje by baterie wyciagnac. Przechuj kozak
Wow think I'll stick to my 4gb. That looks awkward. I'll prob just buy a better ram laptop as I am recording music on it and the CPU runs at 100% meaning lots of crackles and pc crashes. Great vid though
Where is the ones of buy this on Bim :D
bro thankyou so much
Thanks
Why dd HP made it hidden on this pc
this is worst place and acess in laptop i have ever seen during last 10 years...
I replaced the 2gb ram with a new 8gb/1333mhz 1,5 volt but it do not work, I tried again the old ram and works, please help.
8GB DDR3L-1600 SODIMM 1.35v
Can HP 250 G3 support. 1 8GB. ram Only in one slot . Or NOT.
Or i have. To use. Two 4x4GB. Ram. Plz. Tell me
I have a hp 255 G3 i came with windows 8 i upgraded to windows 10 it is slow as hell and i facotry reset this laptop many times. Can i buy ram for it online ?
255 has one RAM slot. It will accept 8GB stick. For some reason, my 255 i3 would recognize the 8GB but show only 6.93GB usable. Anyways, the extra overhead made a difference.
@@encinobalboa The onboard graphics reserve some RAM just to operate making that amount unusable.
when i try to put a new ram the pc never boots...please help!
it doesn't boot with new RAM and boots with you old RAM?
How-FixIT look...it was working normaly...then I tried to upgrade ram...but the new ram didn't work...then I tried to put back the old factory ram and it didn't work :(
oh that's sounds bad. Doesn't it boot at all? Or it starting and there's no image on screen? Or you can see some image? Or it doesn't starting at all?
How-FixIT it starts...there is electricity running and I can see a red dot in the wifi spot in the keyboard But the caps lock keeps signeling(turn off and on)keeps sparking. and the systeme never works...the screen never turn on
as I said it sounds bad. Unfortunately best thing that I can offer you to do is disassemble it, reset BIOS (remove and insert CMOS battery that located near RAM slot), install factory ram, and accurately assemble it
How many GB Ram support this laptop model?
One slot for 8GB max. How's that for planned obsolescence.
me encanta asi pongo musica de fondo
Can you put 2 rams
Does this PC support nvme SSD?
No
SATA SSD is fine also, right?
Finally!
Они чё там в НР, с ума посходили? У меня на другом НР, и двух Asus замена оперативной памяти кратно легче, а тут надо пол компа разобрать 🤣😅😅😅
Nope 4GB is fine for me
This could disfunction my machine
A pierdole to pół godziny rozkręcałem lapka i go nie rozkręciłem i dobrze bo chociaż zobaczyłem za ma tylko 1 wejście ram
