This happened to me too and my SSD is on its way. How did it go Ted? Edit August 2021: For anyone curious, I installed the SSD into the laptop and it works so very much better. It used to take 30 minutes to boot up at times and now it has yet to ever take more than 45 seconds to go from pressing restart to signed in. Well besides when updating, that is. Specs: Installed a WD Blue 500 GB 2.5 inch SSD inside the HP Notebook 15-ay014dx laptop I previously installed another 8 GB DDR4 Ram Stick into, making it a total of 16 gb RAM. Those are the only modifications but when I had the HDD and I installed double the RAM, it didn't help the boot times at all like the SSD did.
@@njdan301 you don’t need cables man! It’s simple, plug and play! You get the HDD out, then you mount that bracket from the old HDD to the new SSD and after that you simply plug in the SSD, screw the screws back into place, install the windows and it’s ready! Also, don’t forget to back up your things from the HDD if you have important things there, and don’t panic if your laptop is turning on a little slower, because the SSD needs a little bit of time to communicate with the motherboard!
@idanromania102 the day I asked I picked up two new drives and put one in my laptop and my kids other laptop I couldn't because hard drive part of the mother board so I ended up using it in an old ps3 which worked great, laptop I fixed never worked so good, thing was painfully slow since day 1 lol
That's how I like instructional videos too - none of this fast forwarding past all the foreplay, with the bloody daft music and some fool trying to show you how knowledgable he is. Top man 👍
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for the video! I'm going to upgrade my laptop's hard drive since it's been running out of space and wanting to put this 1TB seagate internal harddrive but I just didn't know how
Thank you for this video. My hp laptop has rapidly degraded (hardly used and only 3 years old). I mainly use it for school. I build my own computers and have been eager to try my hand at messing around with laptops. The laptop I have is pretty much the same you worked on except its I5 8th gen without a disk tray.
Real nice bench setup. Worked at a computer store and they had very similar carpet setup with power that you got. nice video thanks. Sure the same or similar models all have the m.2 slot which is a nice deal.
Thanks stubbon to pull apart, thought I would break it but I did it. Great video. Wish I had bought the 8GB ram chip first, not taking it apart again lol
Newer 15.'s or maybe just my model have 2 screws under the 2 rear rubber feet, but none under the front strip. Also only had a car trim panel tool which worked great
Thank you Kindly, My work laptop's HDD just up and called it quites (was getting slow knew it was coming) took me 4 months to convince the Company to get a new Drive but I was left with the job of putting it in(wanted to do it any way I enjoy it but it does terrify me a bit) I also changed the Thermal paste while i had it open since it is 3 years old now and that I did not my person PC so was not much of a sweat only 4 screws and make sure to tighten them all a little bit at a time,
Mine is a 2015 HP 15 Notebook PC. We're gonna replace the hard drive soon. I'm not worried about losing data on it, since there's nothing important on it.
Great video. Thanks for posting it. Just pulled mine apart and found no ssd drive, only the M2 256gb drive. I want to put in a 1tb M2. Do you know if the Bios will take it OK? I also only have one 8gb memory stick. I grabbed some out of my old HP but the are different. Do you know what I should look for? Thanks
Hi, i do hope you can advise me with regard to upgrading HP Laptop 15 da0xxx which is extremely slow booting up, ie, black screen for a couple of minutes, then the hp logo appears, then another three minutes booting up until all the icons are displayed, i have seen your video replacing this laptop with an SSD and feel after watching your video it's something i could tackle. What would be your advice in getting this laptop super fast, ie, what's the best SSD i could use and would it be best to add more ram as this laptop only has 4 gb also if i did replace the SSD an RAM what kind of boot up time would you expect to achieve. Many thanks, M.
Hi nice video ! But, where can I get the sharp metal tool and plastic tools to pry open the case ? That seems to be the hardest part of this process ? Thanks :)
Hi bro, i found your video froma thousand of other which wasnt very helpfull like yours. I have hp 15-db0005dx and ssd sata 2.5. The problem is that i can not get the other end of cable in that little bracket on motherboard. Can you give me the link of cable for my laptop ? Thanks
I got HP 15 da0xxx i5-8250u,4GB ram, 1T HDD hard drive notebook laptop. I want to replace my 1T HDD hard drive with SSD sata hard drive or NVMe m.2 I'm asking which one should buy to improve the speed of my notebook because My HDD is very bad and with almost failed reading speed? Regards,
Need to make some videos or include their links for finding installing the drivers that don't automatically update in the device manager after the operating system install on the new drive. Better to clone if it isn't a failed drive.
Hello, I have a HP Pavilion 17.3" LCD screen, I bought it in May 2015, lately it has been kind of slow and looks like that sometimes the hard drive gets stuck, I would like to replace the HD for a SSD, my question is which model of SSD will fit in my laptop. Thank You!
It's been a bit since you did this video.. I have a HP 17.. probably the same process, right? Man, they really didn't want folks getting that case. My challenge is always popping plastic parts apart.. always afraid I'm going to break something, because it happens a lot.
@@CadillacComputerCenter Thanks.. just found your 17.3" HP vid.. this one has the bottom configuration on my machine...wish I could have it on while I do the job. First time going in the guts of a laptop though I'm fine in a tower.
I see from the comments section that i m the only one who opened his laptop , i would like to say that it was succecfully upgraded no need to be afraid ( i did it like 2 mounths ago ) and for now imma add a ram slot to it and it ll be gonna allright
I have an HP 15c series laptop. 8 gig ram 128 gig m.2 (600 MPS) with a 1 TB spinner and 8GB 2400speed ram (single channel.) With this model you cannot easily open the case..... but if you do::: good things can happen! The slower 600mps m.2 was replaced with a 512 gig Samsung 970 EVO. 3600 mps speed... Yes, that's nice. The ram upgraded to 2x8 gig 2666 speed dual channel ram.. thinking about switching out the spinner while I am at it. The connectors look proprietary. even if I do not switch the spinner out I will still disconnect it. 2 out of three major wins!!! Not sure why HP would pit such a crappy m.2 in this machine. I am glad it was upgrade ready though!!!
TY. I have a HP 15-da0079nr. The 1 TB 5400 RPM SATA drive has failed. Will a Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5" Internal SSD SA400S37/480G - HDD work? Says it's "Backwards compatibility to SATA Rev. 2.0" Can not find any more specific info this laptop on the HP site. TY!
I sincerely hope this isn't a stupid question. What(if anything) would happen if you put an M2 SSD in that slot, screwed it in, then left that other Drive and started it up??? I have sent away for my Wife for 2x8Gig Sticks RAM, and a 2T SSD to replace in her HP Pavilion 15Z AW000 Laptop. Wonder which I'll get in the Mail(Stick or 2.5" Drive). Crucial Website has what I ordered : This part is 100% compatible with Pavilion 15z-aw000 CTO Ordered 2 Sticks 8G RAM Maximum memory: 16GB SATA version: SATA 3 - 6Gb/s Slots: 2 (2 banks of 1) Standard memory: 4GB or 8GB removable Storage : Crucial MX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD Drive form factor: 2.5inch and M.2 Drive Interface: SATA/PCIe Thanks, GOOD Video, helped when the Parts arrive👍👍
Although you did visually show a properly installed SSD there is the possibility of sliding the drive in UNDER the sata power data connector. I did it. Put the damn thing back together and had to figure out why it told me there was no boot drive. Pulled it apart figured it out and moved on. 😂
I replaced my HDD with a 250gb SSD and now when I try to boot into the windows 8 installer I get a recovery boot error with the error code being 0xc00000098
@@thompsonrobert6615 Hi. This laptop taked a standard 2.5" SATA SSD. Only one size. This is the exact one i used in video.....www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0764WCXCV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks, Dale
Nice video, but, no one in their right mind would use an electric screwdriver to undo screws in a laptop, you can stuff the screws up, plus you don't have any feel as to what is going on with the screws. Cheers
Hi. Well, actually clean installs are an everyday thing here. I have a video on how to create a windows 10 usb install drive. Very simple and free. Windows 10 is free from Microsoft these days as long as the computer had a previous version of windows. 8, 8.1 or 10 activated on it. It requires no product key. After you create the usb drive, simply boot from it to install latest version of 10. Here is a link to that video.....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m2A5gcvV9HA.html
@@CadillacComputerCenter What if I wanted to clone HDD to SSD .... in this model .... how would you go about it? Attempted Acronis image while HDD was inside. Swapped drives and now laptop wont boot. Says doesnt see windows.
apertura completamente descuidada, mal trato del equipo, y lo peor de todo.... alfombra en la mesa de trabajo... estatica por todas partes, despues no pregunten porque la laptop no enciende....
