- I got two Dell Latitude Laptops, a E6530 and a E6540. The older of the two, has more memory then the newer one. So I decided to swap memory between the two laptops.

Even just 1$ a month, comes out to the same as Binge-watching all of my 500+ Videos every month.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Thanks for the Video. I have just completed half of my task. I too communicated with Dell and was told that an upgrade would not be a problem. My E6530 came with 8Gb of RAM. I foolishly assumed that meant that there was one 8Gb stick installed and one vacant slot sitting there ready for the 8Gb upgrade.
I followed your video. However, I quickly learned that the five screws that you removed did not all have to be removed. The two up on either side of the battery housing and the one just about in the center were all that I needed to remove. The other two are holding in other parts, not the back of the case.
I found that there were two 4Gb sticks installed so I replaced one of them with the 8GB upgrade stick and reassembled the laptop. I now have 12Gb of active memory and I have ordered a second 8GB replacement stick from Dell. When it arrives I will install it and have 16Gb of RAM.
I am normally lost when I attempt anything computer related beyond pushing the power button on. My magnetic field creates unbelievable problems for me. So, I am extremely pleased that I was able to complete this task. If I can do it, ANYONE can do it!
Hi Mike West
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video and got your laptop ½ way there :-)

Thanks for making this video. I'm working on a 6540, doing the very thing you're showing on TH-cam.

Hi Morten! These are great laptops....i have the very similar E6520. You probably already know this but you can insert a module into the expressport that gives you two USB 3.0 ports for around $10 on ebay ....and also add an extra hard drive instead of the DVD drive.($8).....and also add two USB 3.0 instead of the DVD drive too ($15), if you wish! I have them all and they work great! They seem almost forever upgradeable! Just making sure you know you have many options. Great videos thank you!

This is why i love my E7440, latitudes are very serviceable.!
It is nice, when you do not have to take it all apart.
Very helpful thank you!

Consider yourself lucky that those have detachable batteries, Morten.
I had to order a replacement battery for my Latitude E7270 (which is the last Generation to carry the E Series Dock Port) last week which arrived with UPS today. It cost me 104€ including shipment and was actually a discount from 195€ for the bigger battery). The battery had expanded quite a bit (might have went on thermal meltdown), and was holding only 30 mins of charge.
Yes those flat cells will do that,, had the same on a MACBook pro.
I only noticed it, because the case was bending out of shape, when I took it apart I noticed the 5 cell battery was blown, maybe cause of the design which puts the battery in the case where all the heat is...
If you ever get arround a E7270/E7470 the battery is removable, but DELL OEM Replacement Parts cheap out on the battery power cable (which is clipped on the the battery and the Device power connector) for Intel 6th generation devices (the cable actually has its own part number). Glad I had not yet recycled the original and could use the cable again...
I have some older Latitudes a E6220, a E6420, a E7440 and a E7450 in my office. But I find the E7270 is by far the nicest to travel with, even on flight trips...
Great Video!! Do you plan to keep both??
Hi Matthew Landon
I will keep the E6540 for now,, and are trying to finde someone that needs a fast E6530. glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Dell laptops are great & powerful as you can see. Get an SSD in that beast and watch the speed be unleashed.
Hi Chris Lowe
Yes these ols 320GB crap HDD is dragging in in to the dirt!
Thank you for watching! :-)
Cool, my Dad had an E6530 long ago, my current laptop is an E6410, it was worth the price as i got a nice laptop instead of an ok netbook. And im trying to repair an E6420 because it has a nice cpu and gpu, and i got it free but the lcd kinda works there is no battery, harddrive, DVD ROM.
Hi ALTHDS
Nice! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hi! Just wondering how did you resolved that hard drive was not found on the E6540?
Bad connection,, disk out and In,, and then I was lucky.
I have a question ,is the dell e6530 have same motherboard than dell e6540?? wanted to have the e6540 in my e6530 like replacing only the motherboard
Sorry,, I really do not know.
It looks like that laptop has space for a msata ssd, that would be a great video, installing a ssd mantaining the hd capacity.
Hi webermello
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
You can use a kingston microcard ssd as with the 6540 the ios reconises as a hhd in bios the slot us a wwan
Hi, can we swap the hdd's from e6530 to the e6540, with any major problem? Thanks
Hi Celestino Nuno Teixeira
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)

Basically the same laptop built 1 year apart with a newer revision with 2 less screws. It may be a trivial to save a cent for each screw. But if you churn out 1 million of these Dell laptops. That 2 cents savings is an extra $20,000 profit.
Hi Chris Bautista
Yes and no one enjoys to take out tiny screws anyway,
Thank you for watching! :-)

No idea :-/ Sorry
I saw the 2014 on the right machine pcb, not too old really :-D
Hi zx8401ztv
No It's not that bad,,
Thank you for watching! :-)
Have the e 6540 from 2014 now easy to upgrade memory hatd drive microcard ssd screen and cpu . I have i5 4310 16 gb ddr3 250 gb ssd .

The temptation for a bad pun was just too strong, sorry :D
Keep up your amazing work, it's always good to see what new insanity you are up to :P
Does the Dell E6530 laptop support M.2 NVME SSD

I do not think so,, I did not see such a slot. but I am not sure.
Please, how did you resolve the hard drive issue? I have the same issue but I have not been able to resolve it. No boot device detected. Please, help.
Hi Josh Aros
Thank You very much! I had just not gotten it plugt in right,, so in my case it was just me that had messed up.
Thank you for watching! :-)
I did this and got the 'no boot device detected' error. I figured it was because the hard drive was not seated correctly, and after several tries got it to work by turning the laptop correct side up and then sliding the hard drive in, because the connecters are on the lower half of the slot.

I have a e6540, what's the max ram option for it?
Hi Damion McClellen
I googled this: www.datamemorysystems.com/dms-memory/dell/latitude-e6540.htm
glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
it wasnt that long ago that you didnt have to completely take apart to change hard drive or ram. This laptop that I use has two screws for a cover which hides both RAM and HDD
Hi Koltin Nilam
Thank You very much! Yarh now you have to unglue the screen, to get to it :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
those DVD drives are interchangable, incase one has less features than the other.
Hi MortifiedDumplin
Thank You very much! dead teknology now :-) I use a DVD ones or twice a year now.
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse True, but in those extremely rare situations it's vital to have one, you'll be pulling hair out trying to find one. Just my personal experience with that...
You can also convert it to a spot for more storage
Those friggen Kingston model numbers and their "AD0LF"! xD
It always triggers me slightly, because 0 and O look very similar and i grew up in Germany. And Germany has an unpleasant relationship to historical Adolfs. * sigh *
Fluffy Floofer, Why get upset by the past, you are a different generation, it wasn't your fault :-)
Hi Fluffy Floofer
Yes the popularity of that name, vanished.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Haha, yeah, no worries! I don't even identify as "German", i prefer to identify as "FROM Germany", and only if someone really insists on precise geographical definitions. I'm actually an alien from the Planet Happy Happy Joy Joy (directly translated, you wouldn't be able to pronounce my native tongue) …i'm only pretending to be an earthling …don't be earthist, i'm "mostly harmless" …LOL :D
LOL you are dafter than me :-D (That takes some doing) :)
I have the e6450 i cleaned my cooling fan and put everything back together and now the computer doesnt start up anymore the on light turns on than I hear the sound of it turning on and then I stops again can you help me?
Hi Sietze Rozema
Not really,, bit there is a chance the laptop will not run if the fan is not running. You probably have to take it all apart end try again.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Yep one connection is not connected
Also I would have put a 4GB and an 8GB stick in each laptop for 12GB in both
Hi Hunter's Moon
Thank You very much! I did not even consider that!! :-/ humm
Thank you for watching! :-)
Good if all memory are same .
please is there a specific order in which the rams are inserted?
Sorry I do not remember,, you will have to check the manuale.
@@MyPlayHouse I have a one with 2 4gb rams
I removed them just to inspect
And when replacing I put the topmost one under and the other on top
My pc detected only on of them
Then I switched and both were detected
So I was wondering if it’s supposed to be in a particular order
Thanks
2x 4GB should be good,, it should not matter witch 4GB goes in witch slot.
It's not so simple to take the drive out of my laptop, it has a Blu Ray Writer which is slot loading, the whole bottom cover needs removing. Same with the ram and hdd/ssd.
Hi Hunter's Moon
Thank You very much! Yes this was pretty simple!!
Thank you for watching! :-)

Somebody knows if i can put a 180W 19.5V 9.23A adapter on this laptop? i have the 130W 19.5V 6.7A but i need more power and i dont wanna burn it. i hope you can help me please!!
thanks a lot!!!
Hi Ave Avelino
Yes as long as the voltages is the same,, you should be okay,,, it might even charge faster... but do google a bit more.
Thank you for watching! :-)
I did it but I couldn't find a good answer. But I'll try to!! Thank you so much!!
? You need more power on a 130 watt adaptor the total laptop only consumes around 70 watts if you have a ssd
With a 180w adapter, Can I do ?!
Awesome movie. tks

Martin, any 13 year old can do that. Running a data centre of virtualization is what you know! Stay on that is my advice. Those laptops are worth $300-400 CAD max. Who cares.
Hi Richard Potter
Thank You very much! There are not as many hardcore server specialists watching here doing summer, so I am trying different stuff and keeping it light. And it seems there is always someone that cares, and that this will be helpful for.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hmm this looks to be what happened to me. I sent my Laptop to get fixed for a digital error fix and i for sent a downgrade. Smh. I guess this is what i get from shady ebay sites. 😂
Sorry to hear that :-/
Wow you have a dell! Not an IBM laptop ;)

Lucky you, the don't come with an fingerprint scanner. I worked at a computer store and they had 6 dell's with fingerprint scanners and dell is so bad with drivers. I downloaded the drivers from the official Dell website and they didn't fucking work. That was really annoying
Dell drivers are very easy to install if you use the service tag and follow the instructions & proper order !
Okay yarh,, that is irritating.
Someone needs to send you a 512gig ssd !!!
