Last week ,one of the buildings on the property I work at had a recycle bin setup for electronics. scored 2 Elitebook 8470p laptops ,memory and hard drives missing. A Dell Inspiron 530s fully functional, A HP Compaq 8510p laptop fully functional. I happen to have a power adapter that would work for the Elitebooks,and I have memory and 2.5 drives on hand. I installed drives and memory to both Elitebooks (Core i5) and they worked. I had to erase all the programs and pictures left on the Dell Inspiron (windows 7). I did the same with the HP 8510p (windows XP).
I must've either gotten lucky with mine or the person I bought it from (for around $180) already upgraded it. My 8470p has a i7-3520m processor with 2.90 GHz
@@gamerprince-tl5hg Im upgrading the wifi card finally so now mine is totally maxed out. 16gb ram, 500gb ssd. Its still a very functional laptop all these years.
Thank you for the voiceover. I just bought a refurbished Elitebook 8470p. The Windows system startup message tells me that the cooling fan is not working. I have been using a gaming fan system to control the temperature and Piriform Pro software to monitor the temperature. I just want to remove that back cover and check to see whether the fan is connected properly. Most of the videos that I have watched have no sound and fingers are in the way. The one with sound had pretty music that was much too loud and distracting, and a bad demonstration. I have subscribed to your channel, and if I buy anything from Amazon, and I will, I will grab one of your links. If I go to the site on your link, you get a commission for anything that I buy. Please tell me that the policy hasn't changed. LOL
My pleasure. I understand what you mean with voice over and music as it's a mistake I've made on my early videos. It's one of those blind leading blind situations where you watch someone else do it and you think is the right thing to do as well. Anyway, I appreciate your support and link clicks. 👍😁
Hi Cobuman, Thanks a lot for this amazing video, I have an EliteBook 8460p and I would like to know if is possible to use the connector that use the wi-fi card to connect a small nvme there?
That's a good question. Sometimes those wifi cards are run over pcie bus which may seem like it would work. However, it also depends on BIOS support on top of that. I'm guessing it will not work as I no longer have the laptop to double check... but interesting idea.
can u also show how to connect 2 monitors with 8460p? 2 separate monitors and extended display on all 3 screens...? i have tried a lot of thing but I am able to obtain display on 1 monitors so far, as per the manual (also read in some blog post) that up to 4 monitors can be attached to 8460p but nobody seems to know how.... can u like make an extended video.... thanks in advance
Thank you. This computer is using Windows 7, but you can run Windows 10 on it, no problem. I would recommend installing an SSD to make it a lot faster. :)
Hey cobuman I need your help ya! My lap is EliteBook 8460p intel i7-2660M | 8GB , i saw in the HP website they saying can upgrade to 16GB. but i have checked with wmic command with cmd it saying max capacity is 8GB. So what is the real max capacity to Upgrade rams?
Friend, I have a HP elitebook 8440p with 4 GB ram. I actually don't know can it be compatible with a 8GB ram. how do I know about the ram upgrade of it?
Normally, you can mix different sizes of RAM 4+8 but in this case I could not find a single 8gb that I can recommend. If you only have 4gb it's best to add at least another 4gb stick like this: amzn.to/2TLTMX7
I mean there are 2× 2GB rams installed. So I'm planning to install 2×4GB ram cards. If Installed two 4 GB ram cards, will the laptop (HP elitebook 8440p) damaged or not?
Hi cobuman! On my elitebook 8440p I am replacing the CPU, but it has this black plastic film square. Seems to be some type of thermal paste shield, but mine is all crinkly after removing the old cpu. Do I need to have this or can i do without?
I don't understand him either, but... it does look like he connected an external GPU using express card adapter... like this: amzn.to/3f2BR75 You do need another PSU to power this and of course a GPU. 😁 The question is.. is it that simple? To be honest, I'm not sure. Maybe it works.
I have a question, please help me, my pc is an hp 8470p, install Windows on it or restart the operating system before it gave me the light when I raised or lowered the volume it changed color but now it doesn't give me, the sound yes but the key does not change the color when it goes silent and then I turn it up again please I need help😥
It's more difficult on HP laptops... on Desktop for example you would just pull this jumper pin, but in laptops I think you have to get an unlock file from HP that you put on a USB drive.
If i just upgraded the ram to a 16g would it be able to run unity for making games my 11 year old has been making small games the last computer was. not good enough to continue. Or would I need to do the ssd card also I don't want to blow allot on upgrading one computer when i could just pay a little more for one that will work as is
Hey there hello once again.. I have a problem with hp elite 8470 I want to reset it like factory data reset on my computer to completely make it a look like a fresh new one but I am having a trouble resetting it watched many videos on RU-vid and I have also tried 'pressing esc bottom as soon as I start my computer that takes me to a different setting page, there is a option for reset/ factory reset and I tried doing that but failed' & since you were very helpful for me the last time I was hopping you may have some idea/ or suggestions for me like why it's not working for me and what else I can try to make it reset by erasing everything that on it setting,and all So, please do help me .. I will be waiting for your answer....
Hello, you can try to install a fresh copy of Windows on it... This would be a clean install without any other software installed. If interested, I have a video on how to install Windows 10. *Keep in mind this will delete all of your data* if you do it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4wKitW_Cn4E.html
Microsoft offers several choices if Windows isn't operating correctly or is extremely slow, or you want to simply start back with a clean fresh version of Windows 10. Check here for the steps involved.... support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options
I have the ram change an the notebook have a blackscreen and the roll and shift light blink, what is the problem? Ich have 4gb and 8gb ddr3. Thanks for help
Hello, I have "Hp elitebook 8470p" but the higher model these are the specs: 1) 8GB of ddr3 ram 2) i7 3520m @ 2.9ghz 3) Intel Integrated HD 4000 Dx 11 4) 256GB of storage So basically I was wondering if the components of my laptop can be put inside of a PC case so that I can internally insert a GTX 1050 in it please reply.
hi,I have a HP 8470p laptop 1.intel core i7-3520M @2.90GHZ 2.4GB RAM 1600MHZ 3.296GB HDD i was hoping if you can suggest what RAM is compatible for my laptop i was hoping to upgrade it to 8GB,thank you in advance :)
My Laptop is fully upgraded (pro SSD, 8GB DDR, 9 Cells,...) but has no blutooth. The 7260 AC Intel Wifi card i tried has blutooth but the blutooth part does not work (no bt device in device manager, wifi fine). Can I upgrade/implement an original HP blutooth modul into a 8470p?
Hello..bro it's really cool to see your video And since I have the same laptop that I am using it currently I just like ask you a few things like if upgrade it's ram to 8 gb and use Windows 10 will I be able to use today's advance software like video editing and photo shop or may be coding, I am not a pro but I wish to learn it so, will I be able to use those software to learn and hopefully do some work in it.. And also can it support latest games.. Please if you have any suggestions for me Please do reply will be waiting....
Thanks. With this laptop I would also upgrade to SSD storage which can make a big difference. You can edit videos but make sure you upgrade RAM and to SSD; otherwise it will be slow. Encoding may take a while if you are working with anything bigger than 1080p 30fps video. Gaming would work on low settings for old games only; nothing new would work properly. I hope that helps. Good luck.
Is PC3L 8GB 12800 Compatible with my Elitebook 8460P Laptop? My current RAM is PC3L 4GB 10600 and I want to upgrade to 8GB. Any advise would really be helpful.
Sir ...I am going to buy a refurbished laptop ..HP Elitebook 8460p ... Can I upgrade it to better processor and...how?? Can we upgrade the generation ,when we talk about processors......please help me sir....
Thanks for the quick response, I saw that they put i7-2670QM and its have 45W tdp, my stock i5 have 35 TDP. if I install more powerful, can there be problems, with overheating for example
I just got some information about msata compability on laptop from this website which is I found this laptop cant use msata--> www.mydigitaldiscount.com/msata-ssd-compatability-list.html
8470p has a better CPU, way longer battery life, more RAM, more HD space and etc... Also, note that although similar to 8470p the 8440p is a bit different when it comes to upgrading it.
What about the cpu? They are so easy and accessible in these computers,its almost a shame not to include it. A quad core i7 is a huge improvement over the i5,even though the i5 is respectable
Thx just one question, i've read online that you cant use a the HP mainboard, which previously had an dualcore, with a i7 quadcore. Is that right? Second question: Is the TDP limited to 35W or can I use an i7 with 45W?
As far as I know it should support the i7 of the same socket; this is with assumption that Bios supports it as well. If you decide to go for it please let me know of the results.
Usually, when system would say "usable" amount means after part of RAM is dedicated to onboard GPU (intel or amd). However, this should not be the case in your situation. It may mean that 3.89 is available after background processes/applications are using already (check task manager processes to see which apps may be using it the other 4gb). Another cause could be bad RAM.
cobuman but my one frnd selling same model Laptop hp elitebook 8470p with amd radeon graphic card. So thats y i asking. He told .me tht in his Laptop all games r working
