Video helped me a lot!!! Had the problem that I got an bios error (90B or 90f or something) that the cooling fan is not working. One small metal part of the lan cover was laying inside the fan lol. Opened it, took it out, glued it again (with 2 component glue) to its position and now it works finde again. Thanks man

Hello I ave one an it slow if I change the ram to 8gb will it be faster
You want an SSD Upgrade. If the computer works fast and then suddenly goes slow as you open things, then RAM will help, other than that, more RAM won't do anything.
Thank you so much! Those hidden screws had me!

tysm! turns out I had a puffy battery (safely disposed of and replaced) but I think I also have to replace the hard drive, since even fresh after a factory reset it says it's using 99% of it memory lol
Replacing the hard drive won't fix memory usage. How much RAM do you have?
Buenos dias. consulto si es que se puede instalar un disco M.2 ? seria en Ese espacio a la derecha de la bateria que aparentemente tiene una tapa metalica...?
Correct
I think the network card is N based on this but I know HP is very finicky about which wireless cards the laptop accepts. If I open this up it would be something I'd probably replace. Very detailed with solid explanations.
Yeah, they bios lock it or something
@@ItsBinhRepaired I'll have mine apart in a week or so because there is a 34.00 SSD 1TB deal going on right now and I will give the RTL8822BE ac 2×2 MU-MIMO+Bluetooth 4.2 M.2 PCIe a shot.

Thank you for the ideo. I did not know about the hidden screws. I have recently had the "blue screen" stating oope. we have to restart your computer, but it did not restart (after this happening a few times). I was looking at upgrading my SSD, but was curious about the cloning. Would I do that if my current SSD might hav issues?

Im about to repair my laptop thank you
@@hallow2300 hope the repair goes well
My wife has this model laptop that she kind of left to collect dust for years since it was so slow. I recently added 16 gig of ddr4 ram to it and it helps. I was sad to find out the cpu was soldered to the motherboard as I noticed it bottlenecks the ram pretty heavily. I've been trying to update windows for the past 2 days but it's incredibly slow and freezes periodically. If I can update windows I'm thinking of buying an ssd. Honestly in 2023 this laptop may not be worth trying to salvage. Nice video though. It helped me a lot.
Sounds like it needs an SSD
Did the new ram really help it? If so which one did you get or does it matter which one?
As long as it speed and type matches, you can use any brand.
i wanna do an ssd upgrade but idk how to clone the hard drive, can you help?

im trying to download a windows 10 using a fresh ssd installation ? How would you do it
@@alexantonio9857 do you already have the usb installer?
Did this upgrade significantly improve the performance of this hp 15db0011dx machine? I'm thinking about just doing an SSD drive without RAM upgrade. Thank you
Just SSD is fine. RAM you want two matching sticks if you can.
SSD was a big improvement over the dog slow 5400 rpm disk drive that came from HP, but it really needs an update to 8GB of RAM too. Only 1 slot, so have to pull the 4GB and replace it with an 8GB.
Yup
@@dcloes
Same here, only 1 slot ! I had a 4RAM extra and wanted to upgraded to 8RAM( 2x4RAM), no spare slot !
HP Laptop, Model 15-dboo88ca
:(
Mine has a6 proc. Not sure if i can upgrade to 16, hp manual says max 8. Can i put a 16 or only 8 ? Ill update if i find answer
Should be fine
Max for the a6 processor is 8 DDR4 PC4-21300 2666MHz Non-ECC SODIMM@@ItsBinhRepaired
It's a lie. Did you try 16gb?
I just went with an 8 from crucial, it's fast enough for what I need and i didnt want to try 16 and it not work, but the hard drive read/write speed is so slow that I'll be upgrading that next. Wish it had the nvme m2 port. So I'll be cloning old one thanks for help and feedback.
@@killaakevcod SSDs are great!
Hey I have a hp-db0005dx model. I need to know what connection that's called on your ssd card? My laptop does not have this
The SATA connector?
Cuánto tiempo demora en encender luego del cambio a SSD bro? Saludos, siento no escribir en inglés. Gracias
Yo pienso que mas rapido. I don't know how to answer your question. Try it.
Yo le puse una ssd hace como 6 meses y wow la diferencia es enorme, si piensas en cambiarla haslo
@@amandavaleriacastanedamore2814 something about SSD performance increase. Yes, it makes a huge difference.
My friends computer stated "no hard drive" so I wanted to make sure it was connected (it was). So we were looking into replacing it. The laptop is THE SAME one in the video. However (unless I missed it) why did you put a 240 GB SSD back instead of a 1TB SSD? Does it have the same power? She is on a fixed income so I am not sure if that means I also have to upgrade RAM or not if I do a lower hard drive? I don't really understand how would we know what size is needed? Thank you so much!
Need to replace the hard drive as reinstall Windows. 240gb is cheaper and the customer didn't need that much storage space.
@@ItsBinhRepaired That is what I am trying to figure out. I do know I need to replace the hard drive but there is no way of know how much storage is needed? I did comment on your other video, but I can not "clone" a dead hard drive correct? So She would have to buy windows for the computer?
@@alanarickett9308 you need another computer that's running Windows 10. This will help th-cam.com/video/R6GVDyVqWso/w-d-xo.html storage amount depends how you use the computer and what you store on it.
What's that piece called that's connected to the ssd card? It has a blue ribbon look likes on it that connects to something. My laptop is missing that piece
At what time stamp?
Is there a cmos battery in this laptop
I think it uses the main battery for that.

Do you know where the CMOS battery in this model is located? I couldn´t spot it.
It's built into the main battery.
can you tell me where the cmos battery is? mine is HP 15DB and i cant find it
Built into the main battery.
Thanks you
No problem

Can you please show me the CMOS battery placement? And is this laptop support NVME SSD?
I don't own the computers to do that.
The battery is the cmos battery
@@ItsBinhRepaired Thank you.
@@priosms no problem
Hey can you help? Tried replacing mine and the replacement doesn't work at all no matter what I do. No key from the old one works also so I'm suspecting I might have damaged something on the motherboard. Apart from that the laptop still powers on and boots up, external keyboard works. Any pointers? Also I hadn't discharged the capacitors. Thanks for a great video.
Could be connected wrong. Does usb keyboard work?
@@ItsBinhRepaired yes, USB keyboard works
@@BenotechLabs hmmm the connector looks ok? What caused the initial failure?
@@ItsBinhRepaired connector doesn't show deformities. The keyboard had keys that didn't work, would sometimes come out many times as if there were sticky keys. I cleaned it up and also warmed it up with a hair dryer (used this method before for laptops that have been down for long). After reassembly no key worked. I purchased a new one still no key works, that leads me to thing something on the board is damaged. But what?
Hmmm very strange to go from some keys to no keys after replacing. Something might not be connected right
What is the model number of the hdd that would be put in place of the cd?
Thank you.
What's the height of the cd drive in mm?
I don't know, it's the model hp 15-db0011dx that you taught me to repair in this video. It seems common. Thanks.
@@paulbzzz7636 pull the cd drive out and measure it
@@ItsBinhRepaired I'll find my vernier, thank you.
: )
Does this only fit a standard sata ssd or can you fit an nvme ssd stick?
EDIT: nvm, i see on the right side of the battery there is the m.2 slot
Glad you found what you needed
I just noticed that the m.2 slot is missing the connector/socket whatever, that you “plug” the m.2 into. Mine doesn’t have it either sadly. Rip. Might have to solder it on or something
I'm not sure if soldering one on will work. Might be missing the controller. :(
Was so confused to open mine to replace a battery and had no harddrive at all
Did it have an SSD?
@@ItsBinhRepaired i dont see one, genuinely have no clue whats going on
@@d0l.d0t likely an m.2 SSD
my laptop battery is slightly inflated... should I keep using it? i have same motherboard and battery as yours... and I remove my battery... i dont have any budget to buy a replacement one...
Should be ok
Sir do you know where is the Location of CMOS CELL/BIOS BATTERY in this model
The main battery is the cmos battery
@@ItsBinhRepaired thank you sir i was not expected that will reply on my question. Appreciated 🙌🙌🙌
@@PRANAVBHUSARE no problem
Question, can I expand the RAM memory of this laptop with an 8 GB module with a frequency of 2666MHz?
If the original RAM is 2666mhz, then yes.
Hello! how can i find an ssd thats compatible with my laptop so i can upgrade? thank you
Are you replacing the spinning drive?
Hi
I have a question has the hp a cmos batterie?
It's built into the main battery.
Is dis a good laptop overall ?
I don't do benchmarks and all that. I just fix things.
Ok bro
Yup
can you please demonstrate how the cmos battery can be replaced....
Did you watch the video? Listen to what I say in it.
I did show how to remove it.
Hello, can you tell me the size or type for the wi-fi card ? Mine is broken, and i planned to replace it .
Don't know that info. Check the model number on the wireless card itself.
Mine came with a 1TB HDD. I want to upgrade it to a SSD. What is the maximum capacity you think I could get? I currently have 1TB SSD in my cart to order.
4tb is the largest size
Can I use that M.2 NVMe slot or do I need something more?
You can use it. Not sure what you mean by something more.
Oh wait, there is no m.2 slot. You can open yours to check if it's different.
@@ItsBinhRepaired No. you can not use it. only ssd or hd sata.
@@juliocesarurbina i have a slightly different version of this (silver but same model no) and it has no 2.5in drive, only an m.2 ssd. It doesn't have the plug or jumper cable for the 2.5in drive - can I buy those separate?
What does the hard drive do in laptop?
All the data and software is stored there. For a more detailed explanation, you can probably find something on Wikipedia or Google.
How much RAM does it support?
@@GaicozAnimax usually the max is whatever you can buy and put in the slots.
The hdd I have on this unit is bad, it boots to the windows splash screen then it shows a multi colored banded screen with veritical lines and goes no further. where do I buy a hdd for this model ?
That doesn't sound like a hard drive issue. Could you upload a video on TH-cam for me to see?
disculpa, tuviste que clonar el disco duro no? porque yo intento instalar windows 10 con un usb al ssd y no funciona
Hm?
Is it possible with an updated graphics card and 8 gbs worth of ram to play VR on one of these?
You can't upgrade the video card unless it supports an external one.
And can any replacement charger work?
Needs to be the right amperage and voltage
Where is the RTC battery? (CMOS)
How much of the video did you watch?
Can you upgrade to a better cpu with this laptop model? The CPU on this laptop is horrible and I'm looking to upgrade to a better CPU. Can you also change the RAM speed on this laptop or is it only locked to certain MHz?
Can't replace the cpu
@@ItsBinhRepaired what about the RAM speed? I can't seem to figure out how to unlock the advanced settings but any 3rd party you recommend for bios?
@@spartanblade9559 won't make much difference. SSD is your best bet
Can you add a ram slot?
I can't. Not sure if other people can.
Where is dedicated graphic card ???
Who told you there was one?
Yo what’s the difference of 2666v and 2666mhz for the ram cause it’s the only one I find on Amazon
Should be the same
Can you replace the cpu in this laptop or no?
No
15:43
Hello, I wanted to ask if you have any idea on how to add an M.2 to this model of computer 🥹 my computer is very slow and I changed its RAM from 4g to 16gb
You can't. You'll have to add a 2.5" SATA SSD This will help th-cam.com/video/4p5jFDzVwUw/w-d-xo.html
how to replace thermal paste on this model?
Same as every other model. Remove the heatsink, clean the old paste, apply new, put it back together. th-cam.com/video/r1Lb8_k--zA/w-d-xo.html
Can any 2.5 sad work in the laptop?
Yes

Hi Bro where could I find CMOS battery here?
How much of the video did you watch?

bro i have cmos problem and i see so many videos to solve they replace the motherboard battery ( the little circular battery) I have the same PC but icant find it please help
The battery is the cmos battery
@@ItsBinhRepaired than if i have my battery dead I should replace it, BCS ihave cmos 502 prob
@@wassimnoisri9194 if it's cmos low power, then yes. Replacing the battery won't fix a bad bios/cmos. You can reset the cmos by disconnecting the battery and holding the power button for 15 seconds. It'll take a bit longer to boot initially after doing that.
@@ItsBinhRepaired this problem has appeared just after my battery was completely dead it stays always 0% i flashed the bios with the latest version and disconnected the battery than put it back but nothing is working
How did you flash the bios with 0% battery. It shouldn't allow it
Bro. Where is the CMOS battery for this laptop?
How much of the video did you watch? Try watching it all.
@@ItsBinhRepaired So, there is no separate CMOS/RTC battery. I asked this question because the battery in my laptop was faulty and at the same time I got CMOS 502 error. Anyway, I replaced the battery and the issue was fixed.
@@ansarbeeran7985 nope, it's part of the main battery.
