SSD Upgrade
F.Y.I. : You don't have to remove all those screws! Just one and then push the two tabs for the top cover to be removed.
You mean for the keyboard? Yeah, but my video is to show more than just the keyboard.
Dude. Awesome.
Got same laptop. Same completely dead HD. So your link has to HD options, sata3 and m2...which one???
And then how do I replace my win10 install, which was a free upgrade??
Which link? This video will help with Windows 10. th-cam.com/video/R6GVDyVqWso/w-d-xo.html
Great video... What is the best SSD drive to use with L502x and its measurements... My guess is Kingston 240GB A400 SATA 3 2.5" Internal SSD SA400S37/240G, and NVMe is not possible? If you have an Amazon Affiliate account, pleas leave it, since I obviously can't use my own.
If money is no issue, then this amzn.to/3zuixcD but I'm assuming, since you're using an older laptop, you won't need anything crazy. This is currently the best bang for your buck. amzn.to/3EDhsmw
I wouldnt suggest anyone follow this guide to disassembly. He will have you removing screws you dont need to just to change the hard drive. The HD is right under the keyboard. no reason to take all those screws out. Also, risk breaking your keyboard this way. you dont need to pull on the keyboard at all. I was surprised this wasnt edited for correct information. This guide will put you at risk of breaking your computer.
The video is to show how to remove the keyboard as well. Also, if you never did this stuff before, you should watch the video before attempting. Obviously the keyboard didn't need to be removed to get to the hard drive...
Hi. Very useful video. Wish I had found it about a year ago. I have this laptop 8 years now. It still runs great, but slow, so I traded my optical drive for a SSD which is now D:. I have 2 partitions on my HD, C: for Windows and E: for data. So I want to clone my C: drive to the empty SSD. Can I do this wthout taking my laptop apart? Also can you link me to two best, and free, cloning apps? Thanks

I am willing to upgrade my ram to 8gb but their is only a single ram slot and when I removed it, it is written DDR3 only so I wanted to ask which ram should I use to upgrade, can you suggest one? Also I wanted to ask can I change the wifi card to the latest available or should I use a usb adapter.
Only one slot? Is your model different? Can your take a video, put it on your TH-cam channel for me to see and let me know when it's up?
Wifi cards are often limited by bios, so usb will likely work better.
Rất hay, cảm ơn bạn,
No problem
I'm sorry, I'm using the google translator, my problem is that I want to update my l502x to sdd, the bios recognizes the ssd but when I turn on the laptop it says "operation system not found", the ssd is a WD Blue SA510
This will help th-cam.com/video/4p5jFDzVwUw/w-d-xo.html
Have you gotten drivers or whatever to get the special audio package to work with Windows 10? I know there are buttons on the palmrest for audio and other things, but not sure if there are special known drivers to get all of that working fine with Windows 10?
Not sure
Thank you very much brother, I just changed my HD for an SSD and the 2 RAM thanks to your video, I did it at home with a key and a kitchen knife hahaha
Glad it helped. If you haven't already, please like and subscribe so others can find my videos and possibly consider watching a few others to get the algorithm to recommend my channel. Thanks!
I got the same laptop where i upgraded it to windows 10. I have bunch of issues
1. Wireless adapter is not working. driver is latest and tried all the options available on the internet, but no luck. How can i check if the actual hardware is corrupted and need replace. Can you show how can i replace that.
2. mine has 750 GB HDD. I dont want to replace it. but can i add SSD and install windows on SSD keeping the HDD as it is (as secondary). If yes. How can i do that ?
3. speakers, along with subwoofer crackle. It is not software issue as i tried different methods to fix it. Can i somehow replace them (or can repair them) ?
Thank You in advance :)
Try a usb wireless adapter. Replace the cd drive with a hard drive adapter. Buy replacement internal speakers. You'll have to completely disassemble the laptop to replace them though.
@@pavangurudasani6557 not sure of the price difference, but in the US the 480gb is only a little more. amzn.to/3eM3mDL
Just make sure you install Windows from a USB to the new SSD BEFORE you put an HDD in the old DVD/Bluray slot. For some reason the installer goes into a loop if there is a HDD where it expects the Blueray drive. Probably because the BIOS is too old. Once Windows is booting to the desktop, shut it down and then add the second HDD.
Hello, I'm currently using the same laptop and am considering upgrading to Windows 10 or 11. Could you please advise if Maya and other graphics-related software will be compatible and function smoothly after the upgrade?
What is Maya?
@@ItsBinhRepaired its a 3D software used for animation
You'll have to check their website and the version of the software you have.
This was the exact video that I've been looking for!

I am now subbed and will watch more videos soon but right now My laptop is always stuck with the words "Preparing Automatic Repair" do you know what's wrong?
@@AveryRobles-we1wo hopefully not a fake scammer screen. Did you let someone remote access your computer? Could also be a failing hard drive causing the updates to take forever.
@@ItsBinhRepaired yeah thats what it says right now
do I just get an ssd hard drive and install it
also do you do a video on every repair that you work on?
my laptops error is "Error code: 0xc00000e9"
@AveryRobles-we1wo not every repair, but lots.
Thank you for this video, it helped me a ton

im not a computer guy so this was very helpful. I have this very lap top and was thinking of upgrading the hard drive, ram and graphics card. do you think its worth it? i want to run power director and a cnc software program. i could message you with the minimum requirements to see if it can be done ? Thanks Craig
Gpu can't be upgraded
@@ItsBinhRepaired dang. Ok thanks 😊
@@craigwesson1788 yup
Can I change the two DDR3 4GB 10600 for two DDR3L 8GB 12800 each? Thanks in advance
Not sure. You can try.
Wait, are you still active? I'm looking to get this exact same laptop up and running. Hasn't started it years. But I want to give it a try. I'm in the Bay Area
Yeah
That’s a great video 👍🏼 is it recommended to install Ubuntu or Windows after upgrading the SSD ?
Just depends on your preference.
I just cloned my c: drive to my sdd on the optical drive slot. So it dawned on me I just need to edit my boot priority in the bios. Thanks for the link!
@@jdastro sounds good
No luck resetting the SSD (in my port dtive) to priority boot up. It's not an option. Will have to replace the hard drive as per your video.
What if you remove the other drive?
which ssd used
This one amzn.to/3hQL05r
@@ItsBinhRepairedcan we use 960GB too?
@@ItsBinhRepairedand can we do the same on xps l501x?
You can use any capacity
I'm not sure what the other model has
This laptop I have I cnt start it it gives a blue screen every time I start it I'm very sad please help.
Might need a new hard drive and clean install of windows.
I have 8 ram ...is it possible and an advantage to upgrade to hoe much? You have a link for me to buy ?
It depends how you use the computer. The video tells about upgradeability.
amzn.to/3rGdwMf This is a 16gb set
if i watch a movie i notice sometimes the vieuw freezes ,you thinbk a ssd drive will make my laptop fast enough to prevent my video to freeze?
It depends what's causing the freezing. It can be a lot of things. Could be a heat issue. Could be failing video card, could be RAM, could be hard drive.
@@ItsBinhRepaired it only happends when i use popcorntime,,,youtube works flawless
@@danielslaats5817 might be a video card issue or internet not fast enough to download the video.
@@ItsBinhRepaired can i upgrade that video card on this Dell laptop? And can the change to ssd help with the freeze?
@@danielslaats5817 nope
great !
Thanks
Hey there
What size is the charger for the l502x
You'll have to check the sticker on the bottom for the input required.
is this laptop worth buying for 112 bucks in 2021? i will upgrade (its i7)
Maybe, is that before or after the upgrade? Are you sure you can upgrade the CPU?
@@ItsBinhRepaired its already an i7. i will add ram (it has 4gb now) probably 12gb, just like my personal desktop
I see, I think it'll be alright for the money. Put an SSD though
@@ItsBinhRepaired yes. i will use an optical drive bay adapter and put it there
Best to put the SSD in the dedicated hard drive spot. You'll have to clone the hard drive to the SSD as well.
And can you say what I'd need to take the RAM up to 16?
Yeah, you'd need to watch the video. Lol
hello, I'm trying to install Windows on the SSD but without an error. on HD I can and it works perfectly. Would you help me ?
What error?
@@ItsBinhRepaired a disk error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart
but I've tried in every way to reinstall, even install on another machine and transfer the SSD
@@gussta_henrique it can see the SSD when you do the install?
Possibly this if the install actually runs. th-cam.com/video/h1AJg7TXXyo/w-d-xo.html
The LS502x is a very curious laptop. I bought one from Dell and discovered some serious features not mentioned in the Dell literature. One is that it has onboard GPS receiver and coupled with the wwan connection is quite fun. The other is that it has dual band WiFi, but only one 2.4Ghz antenna!
Cool!
Steve - I have upgraded / maxxed out just about everything I possibly can over the years with my L502X. Now I have a WiFi 6 Asus Mesh Routers (which were not cheap, but somewhat future proof, should my Broadband get quicker than 80 Mbps), I have noticed that my (Intel 300M dual-band WIFI +3.0 Bluetooth) 6230AN 62230ANHMW half-height wireless WIFI card MINI PCI-E🤣 ... is probably weakest link now. Your mention of only 1x 2.4GHz antenna is not the best of news either! Is it worth / is there any upgrade option (M.2 > mini PCI-E adaptor? or native 30mm mini PCI size) that will give me a meaningful difference with Wi-Fi connectivity, especially when around the weaker remaining places around my property?
@@SinickleMe lol
How can i activate the backlight for the Keys?
There should be a key combination with the fn key somewhere.
try to use win key + x combination to open panel where you can see the backlight panel, you can increase the brightness from there..
@@jaijinpoulose6563 they mean for the keyboard, not the screen.
@@ItsBinhRepaired yes for keyboard. I have the same laptop and use the win+x combination which has all quick settings like keyboard brightness, power selection of fn keys etc... now I use Lenovo yoga which has a key combination of fn+ space for keyboard backlit settings.. i think if they have installed dell quickest then that option will be available for dell users in win+x combination
Interesting
Over the years I have upgraded my L502X with a 1TB Samsung SSD and an i7 2760QM. For no other reason than I think it might be possible, I want to upgrade it to an i7 2960XM, which was the most powerful mobile CPU at the time.
Let us know how it goes.
Did it work? I'm looking to do the same now. I've had this laptop for 12 years now lol.
I hate how TH-cam doesn't notify me of replies. Were you able to figure it out?
@@ItsBinhRepaired Sry, I haven't done it yet. I may never do it, but I will let you know if I do.
If I do it it will be a waste of $100 even if it works and I can't really justify that rn.
@@happilyham6769 I see
Right on! Total upgrade for my XPS!! Sent a thank you @BinhVu
