Hello Johann, the only way to "upgrade" the card is to pick up the same motherboard with a better integrated card. This motherboard only came from HP 3 different cards: Intel card, 64MB ATI card, and the 128MB ATI card. If your laptop has the Intel card, you will have to get the different heatsink to sink both chips.
12:23 if I'm not wrong that's a ram memory, I got my hand on this laptop once, when I open the ram memory plate I found out one slot contain a 2 GB memory, I had no idea that there is another one under the keyboard, so I was wondering dose this device can hold a 4 GB in the back slot along with this 1 GN under the keyboard??
Hi, is it possible to add a better processor? maybe changing the motherboard..? I have this laptop and it works just fine, I don't know if it's possible to make it a powerful laptop, like having a four core processor and shit like that... Thank you for this video !
It is simple, never buy another HP laptop ever again. They build their laptops to make it impossible to upgrade! Even the parts that you can replace like the wifi card the HP makes a blacklist and if it is not in their list the laptop will not boot.
do you know what pci e card would be compatible with this machine that has link speed 300mb/s the one in the machine is rubbish and doesnt give good speeds at all. and the hp whitelist (so i've read up about) is causing me the issue that i need some kind of oem pci e card. any chance you would know where to get the correct one? this is what i have "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection" but i need to upgrade it to take advantage of my n network from virginmedia.
Oh, probably skipped it in the video, but that is fixable as well, seen a laptop fixed after forgotten outside in the rain once and the second time after a cat pissed on it, the guy resoldered a capacitor and it worked, so it all comes down to who can fix it...
Yes. There is one tiny screw holding the drive in. It is located on the bottom of the computer just underneath the DVD drive. It has a little cd drive logo next to it. Once the screw is removed, push the drive into the laptop an it will eject itself.
