Hi recently was sent a new laptop after a coffee spill on my 15bw069sa which is no more, my old laptop i upgraded to 16Gb ram 2x8Gb sticks in to 2 slots, when my new laptop arrived which is a HPlaptop da0998na i whipped the back off to upgrade also to 16Gb but to my suprise their was only one port.

I ran CPU-Z this tells me i have 2 ports ?, the motherboard on this laptop is named 84AA, so why has my board only got one slot and why is CPU-Z saying i have 2 ?.

any help much appreciated.

HP Zbook 15 G5 GPU/CPU soldered?

$

Hi,

Would you happen to know whether the Zbook 15 G5 Workstation model (the full blown Workstation model, not V, U or Studio models) comes with MXM module video cards? The only info I found is this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qETSSbAcgJ8) which shows the GPU (in fact CPU as well) soldered to motherboard. Can you confirm whether this is actually the case or not, so I would know whether to buy one or not (hate soldered stuff).

 

Regards

Brand new Pavilion 15T has very loud fan and is hot in one spot of vent

$

I just bought a brand new Pavilion 15T laptop, and the fan is incredibly loud. It has been like this since the first time I turned it on. Sometimes it does eventually get quieter, but the sound is still very high-pitched and bothersome. I have tried the different solutions offered in the previous discussion here, but nothing has fixed it. Currently I have no other programs running beyond Google Chrome, so I know I am not overworking it. There is one very hot spot near the center of the vent on the bottom of the laptop, so I am wondering if this is a hardware issue and if I need to have this sent back to be fixed? Thanks

HP Pavilion model names difference

$

I have a question about difference among (maybe not only) HP Pavilion models (15 series).

There are several model names in "rb series" that have THE SAME product specifications, e.g.

HP 15-rb014nc

HP 15-rb021nc

HP 15-rb024nc

HP 15-rb027nc  etc.

 

What is hidden in these numbering as the product specifications, hardware and components are the same?

Thanks

15-bk163dx RAM upgrade

$

Hi all, thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

My wife has a HP Pavilion X360, model 15-bk163dx that we're looking to upgrade/increase the RAM on. She's been using it for picture editing lately and it's been pretty slow. I'm a little confused by its capability and from searching similar issues on the forum.

 

The online specs here would indicate it's "non-upgradeable", but I've found several responses to similar setups that say that may not be true (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05235424):

 

Memory module Two SODIMM slots, nonaccessible/non-upgradeable
Support for DDR3L-1600 dual
channel
Support for up to 8-GB
maximum system memory in
the following conƭgurDtions
● 8192-MB: (8192-MB × 1)
● 6144-MB: (4096-MB
+ 2048-MB)
● 4096-MB: (4096-MB × 1)

 

Is the "non-accessible" indicative that they did something silly like solder in a permanent memory chip, or is it just to make the casual user/upgrader second-guess doing any upgrades? I have no problem taking the computer apart and digging into things. It would appear it has two memory slots, but only supports a single one? It has the standard 8GB that came installed in one of the two slots. The second option of 6GB would lead me to believe that both slots should be operational? The Crucial site says it should be good for up to 16GB total, but of course includes the caveat: *Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory. What exactly happens id i put in 2X8GB compatible RAM sets? I'm assuming I would want to go with the "L" designation from other forum discussions to ensure they're the low-power type? Is the memory support perhaps limited by this and the 45w adaptor that comes with the computer? I see some models have a 65w power supply available for them...is there harm in upgrading the adaptor to support more draw? That would be where my personal experience starts to get a little hazy, as I could see it causing issues over the long term, but I'm sure there's something built into the setup to either limit or utilize the proper amount of power coming in?

 

So, what's the actual consensus on this? Why would they limit the amount of memory you can upgrade? To drive new computer sales? If it's going to be more hassle than it's worth to try and upgrade this thing I'd just re-purpose or give it to a family member and purchase a better laptop. Feels a little disappointing that any manufacturer would sell a computer that is basically as-is for the long haul.

 

Appreciate any help...the online information for this particular model (and the 15" X360 series in general) is pretty slim. I'm guessing a lot of the users who like to upgrade and tweak things steered clear of these, and now I can see why.

 

Thanks!

Hello,

I bought this laptop a month ago and it has a 2TB HDD installed. I want to upgrade to an SSD but I want to know if I can buy M.2 NVME for it or does it have any internal ssd slot ?. Now I found the manual for the laptop online:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06147959

 

It says on page 48 that there's a solid state bracket and connector board. How do I know if my laptop model has those or not?

I don't want to open it in order not to void the warranty. The HP authorized store will do the upgrade for me but I need to know what to buy now.

 

Thank you in advance
