Asus Eee PC 1215B RAM and HDD Upgrade Help

[thewhitehatter]

thanks for the review! I am in the market for a netbook/notebook and this seems to be a my best bet! How long dose the battery last realistically on normal, every day use, word, chrome? would you recommend this pc over any other in the same price and screen range? thanks xD

[xaira12]

they really dont want you to get to that hard drive, oh well, my scorpo black is gonna stay in the desktop

I just upgraded to 2 4GB sticks of RAM and it boots up to a screen that says AMD Fusion Wrestler generic VBIOS. Any ideas what this could be?

[NBrendo]

ta a quantos reais uma memoria pra esse pc pra ele ficar com 4 gb de ram??

[shagster007]

Some sites say the max is 4gb and others say 8gb ram. Which is it?

[corne1992]

does this netbooks has two hard drives? because mine has a 320 gb harddisk and a 99 gb harddisk, or is that only a partition? i would like to change my HDD in a SSD.

[XacTactX]

Hi there, I used your guide to replace the HDD on my 1215B, but I have a problem with the palm rest. Now that I am have put it back together, there is a small gap between the palm rest and the chassis. I used a credit card like you suggested. Did you have a small gap in your netbook? If so, how did you fix it?

Thank you, this video was very helpful. :)

I can't pop off the plastic compartment lid that easily at all. Tryin' to lift it up with a thin card or something but don't want to damage anything.

[scheppdogg532]

Great video, one thing to note...make sure you are gentle when removing the ribbon cables! the small plastic connector pulls out to release the cable. Thanks for the great video ndeviltv!

[TrickyPickyRicky123]

How can I watch this walkthrough while I do this? :\

[TheAwsomeGuy44]

[xizel]

[lllliiioor123]

pls, pls, just stop talking

[cupcupcup1]

Hello, I just bought the 2GB version. Originally, are the 2 slots both filled with a 1GB card? Or only 1 slot filled with a 2GB card?

Thanks.

[Godlike0503]

@cupcupcup1 1x2GB DDR3 ram

[Searchinganswers]

Is it possible to put in a better graphics card?

[EconAtheist]

@Searchinganswers :-/

[MrGomobo]

@Searchinganswers are you serious?

[MrRockstarHR]

@MrGomobo nope.

[sumitino]

what size screwdrivers are needed for these 2 updgrades? thanks :)

[MrGomobo]

@sumitino if you are asking that question I'd recommend you have someone else do it for you. no pun intended

[MrRockstarHR]

@sumitino for the RAM just normal Cross Screwdriver...

[XXXsziliXXX]

Bocsi hogy magyarul kérdezem,de szerinted mindegyik 1215B tipusú gépben 2x2Gb ram van?

Köszi

[RonaldMoD]

mmmmmmm..... nice greasy finger on the gold contacts. Thats how to do it!

[Luchoxs1]

Could u tell me plz,, what is the exact specification of the stock memorys that come with this laptop? "Asus Eee PC 1215B" i mean what is the type of memorys that comes with this laptop.... be very specific plz

[liss1523]

Newegg just updated the product specs, thankfully - though memory spec is still wrong (it's 10600, not 1333.) Will put the video to use - just got mine, love it, but the relatively slow HDD (5400rpm) is clearly the bottleneck. Glad NE put a 64 GB Crucial SSD on sale yesterday, 'cause this baby needs it.

[mooh08]

DD3 1333 is the standard name and it's module name is PC3-10600. :) it's the same...

[xlK1LLAlx]

Were did you purchase the RAM?

[DontWatchThisFilm]

Ummmm, are you sure it's upgradeable to 8gb??? Almost every 1215b spec searched says only "4gb max". Please confirm... Would love to upgrade to 8 but need your expertise!!! Great vids btw... post more on the 1215b please!!!

[koiril]

@DontWatchThisFilm this laptop will only recognize 3GB of ram. It's due to the fact that this laptop has a 36 bit processor in it.

[NVMDSTEvil]

@koiril E-350's are 64bit. OS is the problem if you can only get 3GB ram. In 32-bit OS just enable PAE and large system cache, usually does well enough. Can do more but thats all a basic consumer needs at the most really.

[koiril]

@NVMDSTEvil Yeah, found that out a couple days ago. So, if you had a 64-bit OS on hear you could potentially hit 8GB of ram?

[NVMDSTEvil]

@koiril Yup. Bios may be limited to 4gb, but some users have reported that 8gb works fine.. so only thing to do is try.

[pacsmile]

@koiril watafoc 36 bits?

[TheTechDaddy]

Really, people are complaining about it not having parallel ports or a floppy drive? lol, what is this, 1995?

[lp5kill]

i have question...i have thought that 1215b has maximum ram 4GB and there is only one slot for ram,not dual channel, so can i give 8gb(2*4gb) ram into mb of this netbook? :)

[Kaggy84]

@lp5kill just got mine, 2 slots. I doubt Asus would be so dumb to design 2 slots of RAM and only support 4GB max, furthermore it came with Win7 Premium x64; I'm going to go with 8GB

[Kaggy84]

Just tested, works with 8GB just fine.

That's the problem with Asus sites, they only list the specs the product come with and not how much it supports.

[SoloQ]

@Kaggy84 Good to know it works in 8gb mode. although I see it overkill. 4gb will be placed in mines. Thx

[r3v4n23]

Wow. Asus pulled an Apple with that hard drive.

[GarbageState]

WTF!!! you have to take it apart to replace hdd??? i miss my old POS 1000h/he.

[GarbageState]

no floppy drive no deal!

[hornistsnest]

@GarbageState No tape drive no deal! Also, it'd better have MS-DOS 1.

[GarbageState]

@hornistsnest it does have touch pad, if that makes you feel any better. there's a problem with it, according to some reviews, so that's a relief. i was worried this new model is almost "perfect" lol @ ANUS!!!

i'm looking into other brands now. fuck it.

[B0HMED]

NICE IT HAS A USB 3.0

i am not sure yet about us version it has a usb 3.0 or not

[GarbageState]

@B0HMED probably not, but it does have VGA port. would be nice if it had parallel and serial ports but that's asking too much. btw i also prefer ps/2 connectors, one for external keyboard and one for mouse.
