hi what the maximum memory module you can fit in it? 4 or 8 gb?

[HP2133]

2GB RAM is the max.

[canuckforce1]

will this void the warrenty for the laptop, i know this used to on the EEE Pc but then asus said they will cover RAM upgrades, is this the same case for HP?

[HP2133]

Nope, it won't void the warranty.

Battery life playing back a 700MB avi file in "High Performance" mode (cpu isn't throttled at all and screen at 75% bright) - probably about 2 hours and 40 mins. It came up with the 10% battery left warning and said I had 19 mins left at that point.

The video I tested played fine in Power Saver mode (cpu throttled to 800Mhz) so that will extend the battery life quite a bit I would imagine. I'll be doing a real test of that tonight.

[HP2133]

Doing a test of that tonight. Going to play a movie and see how long it takes to die

Thanks for the excellent video. I've installed a lot of RAM, but this one looked tougher!! After 3 yrs I got the courage to pop a 2GB...the installation was a breeze. Crucial CT1867692 2GB, 200-pin SODIMM (2GB, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) for $25. The slow processor, VIA C7-M ULV, will always be kind of slow, but the programs pop-up a lot faster! Thanks again!!

A general comment: 32-bit goes up to 3 GB of RAM, anything more needs 64-bit.

Hi Josh, can you show me how to access the fan to clean the ventilation? My 2133 has suddenly begun to make a loud sound on the left side, and I want to try cleaning the fan as a first answer. Please? thanks!

Hey, whats the part number on that extended battery you have on there. My wife has this same model PC and I am looking to upgrade the RAM and the battery for her birthday. Hers has the original 3-cell battery, your's looks like its a 6 or 9 cell. I didn't see a P/N on the HP site for an extended life battery. Any help is appreciated, great video BTW.

how do i acces my web cam i really dont know i tried google but i get nothing im not good with computers at all

[iquiroga]

Thanks for the great vid - it made upgrading the RAM totally effortless. However, I'm wondering if you could tell me if there is a battery, other than the one it came with, that will have a longer life between charges.

Thanks for the video, been trying to find a way to upgrade the ram on these things, but good to see its an easy process. HP really do build a quality unit.

is this the same for hp 2140.

thanks

I have heard that you can actually put a 4 gig chip in it and the cpu will use 3 gigs of the ram(since there are no 3 gig chips you have to buy a 4 gig). Since you seem to be the 2133 expert, do you know about this, is it true?
