Right? Something’s wrong with my HP laptop’s hard drive, and I didn’t think I would need to be drilling the back of my laptop to fix it! HAHA, but I’ll see if there’s legit any other alternatives that I can do, this is too complicated for me.
Thanks for uploading this. I had zero experience with replacing a laptop's hard drive and this video got me through the process quickly and painlessly.
Dude you rock! My wife owns a very similar laptop and we wanted to swap to an SSD but I couldn't figure out how to get the back cover off. Your video helped me the whole way! I can't thank you enough.
Well done video. In my case I was upgrading the mechanical drive to a SSD by cloning the original drive. Finding those screws under the rubber feet that is funny that HP does that. Wow. Thank you for the detail and the detail very good video.
Thanks for the quick right to the point video. These are definitely not high end laptops and mine was excruciatingly laggy with the HDD after 4 years of use. New SSD in and it runs the basics just as fast as My Dell work laptop now! SSD was $60. Much cheaper than a new home laptop. Comment Edit: spelling
Thankyou, this video helped me upgrade my similar old hp 15-ac021tx 1TB HDD to a 500Gb Samsung 860 Evo. Also followed your video on cloning the drive. Works so much better now. Many thanks. Wish I'd dive it years ago. I used a guitar pick to help pry off the back, but did break a couple of the clips. Moral of the story, take your time.
Thank you for the video. Just upgraded my HP to 500GB SSD. I use this laptop every day for work. It performs better than it did new. I appreciate you taking the time to help me do this at home.
Thank you for the video. Can you make a video explaining when to change the hard drive? Also, what else might be needed to change out? Maybe we can do it all while we have it taken apart. I would appreciate any tips you can provide.
Very good guide. One word of precaution. Be very careful when taking the bottom casing off near the hinge. When we did it some small plastic broke off and a "rivet" holding the hinge broke causing the hinge to detach. P.S. The Acronis Clone tool that Crucial recommends doesn't clone a larger drive to a smaller one. We used the one by MiniTool-Partition Wizard instead and it worked.
Loved the video! My only regret is not finding it sooner bcI broke part of one of the plastic hold downs for one of the hinges, but it was not essential. No wonder it wouldn't open up. 🤦🏻♂️
Lucky for me, I didn't need to replace a SSD -- just need to get the original HDD out of there, but I didn't know how to do it without taking a hammer to the back. Never would have known about that little seam in front. Thanks for the help!
All though the carpet feature on the countertop work tables is nice to not scratch your work piece. I hope at min your grounded and or/using a static strap
I am glad it helped you. saving money is always good. I am trying to get new subscribers. it would be great if you subscribed. And thanks if you already did. Dale
I use a little dab of silicone to glue the feet back down. If you need to dive back in, the feet come off without tearing up. Like when using superglue
Can you make a disassemble viedo about that computer because there is only three videos about ram and ssd about that is specific computer and I want to see you fully dissemble and reassemble the computer
I got an old HP DV6580ee laptop. I replaced the DVD with as 12.7mm IDE to SATA caddy containing SSD . The DVD and caddy have the same size with the same IDE interface. The caddy is not detected. What to do now ?
On my 17 series laptop there is a metal plate in the optical drive area with two chrome discs with a very shall x in the centre which is holding the front case to the back in that area. Any ideas.
Hi, I have hp 14-bp0xx It comes with a SSD but I am wanting to add a second HDD that I have laying around. I've taken a look and there is space to add a 2.5" HDD, just wondering if you could help me out with what cables/enclosures I would need to get it working? There's is space for a HDD but I can't see where to connect the drive.
i have a question i just bought the same exact one from a local computer shop and i was wondering whats the highest ram i can upgrade it to i currently have 4 gis of ram and its terribly slow and laggy and also what cpu i can upgrade it to
I'm trying to find out if my HP 15 bs134wm has an M.2 plug inside but without just tearing it apart I just cannot find the information anywhere. Any ideas? If it does i'd like to add the Intel Optane memory M.2 board. I have one in my desktop and BOY what a difference it makes in speed. If you have any information that can help me without me just tearing it apart please advise. Thanks a lot. Your video here will help me put an SSD inside it when I get that chance in a few months. Would LOVE if it did have the M.2 slot to add the Optane with that.
Imma be honest I'm a kid trying to build a coputer and idk . Do u think I can do it if I try hard enough.BTW can I use a gutair pick to open the case of the labtop and I liked and subbed thanks
Hi good day my name is ricardo don't know if u can advise me on something that i have ..... I have a HP laptop 15.6" model # 15-r011dx ..... It have a 750GB hard drive in it ..... I would like to upgrade it to a solid state SSD hard drive in it ..... D think about this i don't know much about SSD & hard drive don't know what size & brand should i get for it ..... Thank u u & your family stay safe be safe out there happy father's day God bless u enjoyed your day 👊🏼
I have this lab too and when I pull up Task Manager I got a average 50 cpu 70 memory disk constantly hitting 90-100 under no workload. I paid 300 for this last year brand new just really not usable in this state- what would you recommend

Hey dale, thinking of upgrading my computer to an SSD drive for speed performance, just curious before i start doing it myself, is it required to clone my hard drive or can i just install the SSD drive and reinstall windows?
This is my model of laptop . Thank you so such . Now I can find out if the guy who replaced my hard drive ripped me off for $70 . should have done it myself 😄
Hello, thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe. When you install any new Hard Drive or SSD, you will need to install your operating system, or clone (copy) your old hard drive onto the new drive. Dale.
Is this a SATA drive? I lost my boot files, and have tried everything to recover my data, but I'm about to reinstall windows. I have a SATA to usb cable. You think that would work?
I appreciate the video, in upgrading RAM and SSD would that make this particular laptop sufficient enough to be considered a low end basic "gaming" laptop? **children** also can you upgrade graphic cards?
I know it's been 6 months since you asked, but if you have this model, open the case as shown. When you have it open and are looking at the inside, the RAM is near the front-right (it's the green rectangular circuit board thing you can see in this video). The RAM is held in place by a pair of clips, one on each side. You can just nudge the clips outward gently with your finger, and the RAM will slightly lift for easy removal. It pulls straight out. New RAM is just the reverse. There is a groove on the pin side that will line up with a little knob in the slot to make sure you have it right-side up. Gently push it in, then push down and let the clips click to hold it in place. There is actually an extra unused slot on the model in the video (and the one I have here), so you could simply add another stick without removing the one that's there. The laptop model I have is HP 15-bs045nr, which came with one 8GB stick of Samsung M471A1K43CB1-CRC model RAM (the RAM will have a sticker indicating the manufacturer and model number). The RAM in mine is rated for 2400MHz, but the laptop runs it at 2133MHz. Intel XTU might be able to boost the RAM speed, but I haven't tried it on that laptop yet. The processor probably can't take advantage of much faster RAM speeds, so you probably don't need to waste money on anything above 2133MHz or 2400MHz (you can google your CPU, and Intel has the compatibility and specs posted online). I would recommend getting a matching set if you plan to use both RAM slots for dual channel memory, so either find the same model as the RAM inside your machine, or buy a matching pair of new sticks. I hope that helps either you or maybe someone else who has the same question. If you're able to swap out the hard drive, then you shouldn't have any trouble with the RAM (it's not even screwed in, just held in place by the clips).
Hi I love your video so I got this problem with my hp laptop and it looks like it is almost the same as the one you worked on this video hard drive short DST check failed and shows 24 figures, this means that I have to replace the hard drive?? Thanks
Hello my friend, ok I just replaced the hard drive in my computer, and it shows: no bootable device- insert boot disc and press any key, can you tell me what to do there, please

Really 😂😂
I was wondering why the bottom wasn't coming off...didn't know those rubber feet were hiding screws, thanks!
Older laptops were so easily accessible ram, battery and back cover. These new laptops are trickier and delicate

It's to make it difficult to fix yourself. So they get your money for sending it in for repairs, or replacing it altogether. It's a damn scam
That's so you take it to one of their "official" repair shops to have anything done with it.
They design it that way so, you when you want to replace a product u will f***ed it and u buy new laptop
I have a Lenovo E570. Two screws give access to the SSD and the memory. So simple.
Thanks for uploading this. I had zero experience with replacing a laptop's hard drive and this video got me through the process quickly and painlessly.

Did you ever put an ssd in a hp pavilion 15-p184ca / a70-5745m? Id like to see that
I was trying to do this because I wanted to know if I could swap my cpu and what kind of RAM was being used
Is it possible to put the os on the previous drive into the new one?
On my 17 series laptop there is a metal plate in the optical drive area with two chrome discs with a very shall x in the centre which is holding the front case to the back in that area. Any ideas.
This this laptop would putting in a 1tb ssd make a huge difference?
This is my model of laptop too. Could you make a video of upgrading the ram for this laptop please? Thanks.
Its easy lol
Hi, I have hp 14-bp0xx

There's is space for a HDD but I can't see where to connect the drive.
Hey dale, What type of Ram does the computer use
Can you give us a link to the ssd you used?
Did you replace like for like or did you upgrade to ssd hard drive?

Hey dale, thinking of upgrading my computer to an SSD drive for speed performance, just curious before i start doing it myself, is it required to clone my hard drive or can i just install the SSD drive and reinstall windows?
Just back up any data you wanna keep, and yes, doing a clean install is fine 🙂
I have an older ACER m5 from like 2014, does anyone know if I can use the SSD in that laptop into my new HP 15
Which ssd are you using? What kind of ssd should I get? My laptop is the same as yours?
In this video, I used a Crucial 250gb 2.5 inch ssd. The MX500 series. Good drive to use in this laptop.

Just a question, does this motherboard have a M.2. port?
Hi, on this specific model it does not. thanks, Dale
I appreciate the video, in upgrading RAM and SSD would that make this particular laptop sufficient enough to be considered a low end basic "gaming" laptop? **children** also can you upgrade graphic cards?
nope, laptop graphics card are usually soldered to the motherboard
Can I know what SSD you are using?
THank you

You sound like Burl Ives
my nail broke watching him
Do u know how i can take the ram out and replace it?
I know it's been 6 months since you asked, but if you have this model, open the case as shown. When you have it open and are looking at the inside, the RAM is near the front-right (it's the green rectangular circuit board thing you can see in this video). The RAM is held in place by a pair of clips, one on each side. You can just nudge the clips outward gently with your finger, and the RAM will slightly lift for easy removal. It pulls straight out. New RAM is just the reverse. There is a groove on the pin side that will line up with a little knob in the slot to make sure you have it right-side up. Gently push it in, then push down and let the clips click to hold it in place.
There is actually an extra unused slot on the model in the video (and the one I have here), so you could simply add another stick without removing the one that's there. The laptop model I have is HP 15-bs045nr, which came with one 8GB stick of Samsung M471A1K43CB1-CRC model RAM (the RAM will have a sticker indicating the manufacturer and model number).

The processor probably can't take advantage of much faster RAM speeds, so you probably don't need to waste money on anything above 2133MHz or 2400MHz (you can google your CPU, and Intel has the compatibility and specs posted online).
I would recommend getting a matching set if you plan to use both RAM slots for dual channel memory, so either find the same model as the RAM inside your machine, or buy a matching pair of new sticks. I hope that helps either you or maybe someone else who has the same question. If you're able to swap out the hard drive, then you shouldn't have any trouble with the RAM (it's not even screwed in, just held in place by the clips).
