Thank you for 13:59 of your time. In this video I do max Upgrades to HP EliteBook 8440 and backup data from a stuck HDD. The HDD trick will not work in all cases, chances are 50 / 50. Also I have done some upgrades that will boost this laptop and make better than before.

RAM - 2GB to 8GB
HDD to 480GB SSD

Got the i7 version of this laptop 5 years ago as a refurb for $300 and just put an SSD in it, as he says, great for basic tasks.

@tejaspadhye 3 года назад

I got the Latitude from the same era with i5 5 years ago for 250ish usd and it still works with an sshd, albeit it slows down alot with browsers these days. I didn't put ssd as I don't think it would be used at full potential as its sata 2 port only.

Good restoration, I had a 8440p for a few years but I got a 8440w for free since it had a dead mobo and went all out after selling the p. New quadro board $35 on ebay, 820qm was $26 on ebay, 500gb WD blue on Amazon for $58 and a ODD HDD caddy for $15 with a 1tb rotational I got free from work. Already had 8gb of ram, the 1600x900 display and centrino ultimate 6300 wifi card. 820 is A LOT of chip for that cooler but it manages. I just use it for RU-vid and email and stuff but I love it!

I had one of these with the i7-640LM as my main system a while back. Loved it until the fans decided to stop working properly. Overheated constantly, but was an absolute beast when it was running correctly. Only reason I updated to a proper PC was because I was starting to get into PC gaming. I'm sure this PC would have still been in use today by me if I didn't

FINALLY. A video for about I7-620m and a 8gb of ram. I am planning to upgrade my Dell Inspiron N4010 (actually I am currently using it right now while typing this comment) with the same.. really the same specs. But I doubt for upgrading it because it may not worth it. but after watching this video. it gave me an answer if I should spent almost a 200$ for upgrades in this laptop or not. I am actually a High school student and does not have a solid income (my parents don't even give me monthly allowance or give me money for school. they only give me money if they forget/don't have time to cook lunch in the morning) so that is why I am very considerate in my expenses. Thank you for making this video!

@Yakigami 4 года назад

But while messing around in some of your videos. I came across for that one asus laptop that you used i5-2450m. And after doing some poking in internet I've found that i5 is much better than i7. I am now wondering if i5 would fit in my dell n4010? Because they had an same socket as the pga etc etc. It would be really great if someone conduct a test if it would fit

@michaelgamble296 2 года назад

I enjoyed watching your cleaning and updating video - because I have one of these: hp EliteBook 8440p. Now I need to change the keyboard, but the small ribbon from the 'Pointstick' will not lock into its little slot. It just falls out and I cannot see why this is! I use tweezers to put the ribbon in but it just falls out again. What sort of locking mechanist should there be on the female slot for this? Is it repairable? The reason I must change the keyboard is because there is some strange problem - it keeps putting 'Full-Stops' or 'Periods' into my texts. I cannot enter a Password without it putting in some extra 'periods'. When I by-passed the keyboard by use of a remote keyboard the problem stopped.
