HP Probook 4520s Breakdown Procedures for Hard Drive or RAM / Memory upgrade / replace

[dayam22]

This is great! Presumably the 4425 I'm working on will be pretty similar and now I'm looking forward to getting in and replacing the HD. Thanks!

[spycell]

Thank you! This helped me a bunch!

[MrDanniboi11]

I think I made a terrible mistake, I swapped a elite I5 Processor for my 13 probook 4520s processor and it wont turn on any ideas? It basically turns on for a few seconds then turns off :(

[importcf]

@MrDanniboi11 might not have the correct heatsink for the i5. Do you get video? or post?

the problem my laptop gets really hot and shuts down i have no idea why it get that much hot? if u know the answer plz tell me how to fix it, thank u for answering.

[tigerfl]

@diaa0001 Try cleaning the inside with compressed air. Especially around the fans. Watch my video on the Dell E5400 (the part about cleaning the fans).

[diaa0001]

dose upgrading ram from 3GB to 8GB has effects on games . i mean if i upgrade my ram (3GB) will i see any difference on gaming performance ??. please reply

[tigerfl]

@mohammedfarooq007 Possibly, but only if your running a 64bit os.

[mohammedfarooq007]

hi Mr. , i have the same laptop (hp probook 4520s) with dedicated graphics card (not Integrate card) and i want to ask you can i upgrade my graphics card (ati 4350) on this laptop ????

[tigerfl]

@mohammedfarooq007 Dedicated does not mean it is not integrated. It just means it does not share the memory or processor of the main board. It has its own "Dedicated" memory and processor. So no, you can not upgrade it as it is still "Integrated".

[mohammedfarooq007]

@tigerfl okay thank you Mr. , some many people told me that i can't upgrade the graphics card and i just want to make sure of that . so thanks again Mr. :) , i heard that there is external graphics card for laptop to improve gaming performence . is that true ?? . and if yes , do you have any idea about how much the price of it ?

[nerox1234]

thx

[tsimmons82]

i have a 4525s hp and it has 32 bit i want ot go to a 64 for more ram can you tell me what i should do i am doing it myself becuase i am in college for computer repair and programming thx tim

[duraiden]

Thanks for posting this. Why can't all laptops just have the slide out drives?

[jmherek]

I was wondering if its the same procedure pretty much for a 4420s pro book. I watched a video where they changed the ram and it looked almost the same as a 4420s. I just don't want to open it up and run into something way different. Thank You for posting these videos's they are very helpfull.

[LGD3]

Can I clean the fan from this point or would I need to remove some of those metal panels? Thanks!

A very clear video by the way.. much appreciated!

[TrollinDuncan]

Can you upgrade the prosseser?

[KhurramKool]

@TrollinDunca No.. because unlike desktop, laptop's processor permanently is fixed on the motherboard

[tigerfl]

@TrollinDuncan I do not believe so. IT is soldered onboard.

[TrollinDuncan]

Can you upgrade the processer?

[thecraigmachine100]

Is this probook upgradeable to 8gigs of RAM??

[Knockturnall1]

Is two gigs ok, will it run ok if I run 32bit win7 only on two gigs? Thank you very much. God bless...

[tigerfl]

@Knockturnall1 I do it all the time and it runs fine. But if you plan on heave graphics or video editing, may want to up it.

[gasset24]

mil gracias!!!!!!!!

excelente

[bigmanbobob]

Thanks greatly. Do you recommend upgrading to a 64bit OS with this laptop?

[tigerfl]

@bigmanbobob if you want more then 4 gigs of memory, yes.
