[HD] Installing RAM on a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 Guide T410 T400

[PoopieFaceRawr]

Very good information! I did this for my T410i with no problems at all. Went from 2GB to 6GB of RAM. Definitely makes a difference here.

Hey, what configuration has your laptop?

I see you have a nice average score of 5,9.

[michael270487]

its not that easy on T400

[Deltoidz]

hey im using the Thinkpad T400 and I bought a couple of 4GB ram DDR3 1066. Do you think it is compatible?

[iPodAppsWeekly]

@Deltoidz They should be. But in order to install both you're going to have to remove the keyboard :/

I need a questioned answered. I went to crucial to view the memory options available for the laptop. Since i ordered mine today. I need to add another 4gig stick but there are two options (voltage not speed). How do i know what voltage ram i should add to my laptop? and what happens if i use the wrong one

[iPodAppsWeekly]

@fivbag Just set it to Auto, the BIOS should detect and setup voltages accordingly.

Thank you for a very helpful video. Good tip on removing the battery. I previously added memory to a Lenovo T61 and didn't remove the battery.

whoa! 8.00 gig RAM! where did you get that card from?

[iPodAppsWeekly]

@Zenthenium Nahh theres another 4 GB stick under the keyboard. :) I only installed a 4GB stick.

[Zenthenium]

@iPodAppsWeekly ohh. if only i knew how to open up the keyboard lol RAM only costs about $15 right?

[scualomix]

@iPodAppsWeekly thankyuo body now i have an idea how to installe more memory ram in my lenovo b570...keep it up!!!!!thx

[jeffphilips]

What about the t400? There is no such plate on the bottom. Please help.

[iPodAppsWeekly]

@jeffphilips You should refer to the manual on where to install the DIMM.

[rdcsg]

how muchs the ram

[JAldwin]

@rdcsg RAM can vary in price depending on the speed, amount (measured in Gbs), and brand. I just got 8Gb of G. Skill RAM from Newegg for my Lenovo SL 510. Roughly $43.--

[iPodAppsWeekly]

@rdcsg Depends. My 4 GB stick was 20-30

[supanagga]

Thanks for posting. I'm just ordered at T420: which ram did you use? Thanks and great video.

[iPodAppsWeekly]

@supanagga You can basically use any RAM that is made for laptops and has less or equal speed. For the T420, its 4GB DDR3 1333MHz PC3 10600

[supanagga]

@iPodAppsWeekly Thanks!

[stevenan93]

@chrisfeyen1 The other DIMM slot is underneath the keyboard so its a BIT more tedious to upgrade D:
