  • real nice video!!

    thank you!!!

  • You're more than welcome.

  • hi.. can u please do some vid that upgrades RAM? tnx..

  • I'll see if i have some time this weekend. If you contact and buy the RAM from your laptop manufacturer they should send you instructions. HP in particular are actually rather good at giving you instructions witht their RAM. However yes i will if i get the time.

  • Very Well Done. The only thing with my dv 5000 series, is that the existing hard drive was corrupt so that's why I needed to replace it. I used restore disks from a place on line,since HP no longer sells them for those unit.

  • Thank you. Well i hope it all worked out for you in the end.
