You are welcome. I remember this well "the only app without a dark theme on my monitor".

LOL. You a torrent kind of downloader?😂

Thank you for watching and congrats for getting the job done and learning a whole bunch in the process. I have a feeling you won't stop here.

Thank you for watching. RAM is 260pins. Listed in the description box of the video, Amazon link.

Thank you for watching. Single SO-DIMM Slot: Supports up to 8GB - "free module" as you called it. This is the safest route to take. Some people in the comment section wrote that they installed a 16GB RAM module. The device booted into Windows for some people but I don't know how this 20GB of RAM behaves under load. You can go the safe route or take some risk and get the 16GB module.

Hi. Thank you for watching. You are pointing to the HDD screws I presume? I got them included with the caddy/bracket.

As long it helped a person do their upgrade job easier and successful, this is what counts most.

You are welcome, thank you for watching.

You are welcome, thank you for watching.

You are welcome, you put in the effort so here is your dark theme.

Thank you for watching. 1Rx8 I would say. Check the Amazon link for RAM in the description box of the video please.

You are welcome and thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. You most certainly can. The longer one and you need a standoff for m.2 drive and the single screw goes into the standoff. Google search "m.2 standoff" and look at the images.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching. You obviously put effort into it and now you got yourself a dark theme.

You are welcome. You flatter me. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching. To be honest haven't done this on a laptop ever. Google is your friend or ask ChatGPT.

Thank you for watching. From 8Gb to 12GB. More RAM more smooth multitasking. Windows doesn't need to offload usually RAM workloads to a less desirable swap file on the laptop's SSD drive. Some people here put 16GB RAM module and is working for them. So 16GB + 4GB is 20GB altogether. Even better. Depends on how much you are willing to invest in RAM extension.

Thank you for watching. It is still useful this video guide. Only thing I need to improve is that progress bar download slider. Seems to me I will have to make a sequel. LOL

Thank you for the support.

You are welcome.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching & commenting.

Thank you for watching. Now here is a man who wants his JDownloader pixlel/color perfect. You mean the little "slider" inside of the progress bar?

​@smooth.IT.operator yeah like it's blue and kind of out of place with everything dark lol

​@smooth.IT.operator it's the striped light blue and dark blue for the Progress Bar. It's more noticeable when it's at 100% but hopefully you can help me out with this pls

Hello, thank you for watching sir. Can you check the description section below the video? Just expand/reveal it and you will see RAM module on Amazon.

Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you for watching. Honestly, yes, it will, Sir. But check if your warranty expired already. I think mine was only 12 months. It is your device, you paid for it, you can do whatever you want with it. Why not try to upgrade it and make it better and learn a lot in the process.

Thank you for watching. Can't check this for you since I don't have this laptop anymore.

hello brither same specs did u upgrade to 16 gb

@@himanshu17112 yes it's showing 2gb vram and 13.9 gb ram usable

@@Bez647 thank u bro but in Lenovo it saying that laptop can only support upto 12 gigs of ram

@@himanshu17112 its supports up too 16gb My also showed it supports to 12gb ram

Thank you for watching. Haven't used the plugin at all tbh.

@@smooth.IT.operator OK.

:) Thank you for watching and confirming. Your eyes will be grateful for the dark theme in the long run.

@@smooth.IT.operator as an Internet archivist who does this daily, my eyes are already thankful

Thank you for watching. tbh not familiar with the m.2 Ultra slot.

Thank you for watching and commenting. Good job in replacing the battery. Have to be honest, new battery wasn't of much use to me because the controller on the MBO or some other crucial component for charging the battery permanently malfunctioned. Cannot charge the new battery. Amazon links are OK (there is even discount on many of them). You want a SATA3 SSD 2TB? Be sure it is supported, check the manual please. Even if you opened any of my Amazon links and then kept that tab opened and searched and bought 1kg of monkey bananas from Thailand, I would still get a commission. My point, buy any drive or brand you prefer. Thank you.

Thank you for watching. Will try to open near the hinge first next time and test.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching and for your tip when replacing the battery.

@@smooth.IT.operator quick question, do you have issues with the touchpad not working? i've read a million solutions but none work for me... 😞

@@GuillermoVillar-jf2wq Touch pad working without problem. Tell me do you frequently connect USB mouse / USB receiver? Also is it possible that you strained the touch pad connector since you told me you didn't disconnect them all?

You are welcome, thank you for watching.

You are welcome, thank you for watching. 32GB? Sweet.

What 32G ram did you buy?

@@toxicpixel6176 Thank you for watching. Have a look at the Amazon links for buying recommendations. Successful upgrading!

Also tysm for showing us all this

@@CartofiertYou are welcome.

Thank you for watching. The RAM module only fits one way because of the slit. So you can't insert it wrong way. Not a lot of force, gentle and progressive, all the way down. You can do it, don't worry much. The fact that you worry means you are responsible.

@@smooth.IT.operator tysm for responding even 2 years after posting this. ty for clarifying this for me, tomorrow im going to buy 2 8gb ram sticks and im worried ill mess up the placement as ive never changed ram before.Btw i got another question, after you have placed the ram in the laptop(we have the same laptop btw)do i have to do anything else for the laptop to recognise the ram has changed? or will it do it automatically

@@Cartofiert If the RAM is compatible and functioning then it will be automatic. You don't need to do anything.

You are welcome, thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. Sounds about right. You have buying recommendations below the video.

You are welcome, kind of you to say this, thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. Maybe your RAM module is faulty or damaged. Try replacing it if you are sure it the source of your problems. Even if memory usage is to the max, this should not cause the screen to flicker. Did you check the temperatures, are they high when laptop in under load?

@@guanagrace1923Download the CPU-z application and run it. It will list your precise RAM module under "SPD" tab. By the way, there is in the description underneath this video - RAM buying recommendations on Amazon that I put for everyone.

Thanks I found it I think DDR4 2666

@@guanagrace1923I don't quite understand this, you got a new module and it doesn't work? Flickering screen still continue to happen?

@@guanagrace1923I don't think so, it just one module of RAM or broken laptop. You will get a new one if needs to be and be fine again.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. Check the comment section. There is a comment from Sobkas which answers you.

@@smooth.IT.operator i upgrade to 20gb ram and my laptop works perfectly fine, will there be any side effects in the future?

@@vghxst2657Awesome, thank you for the feedback! Unless you get Windows/Linux crashing you are good to go. Try running a testing tool like Prime95 to put load on your RAM and see how the laptop behaves, does the Windows crash or not when under load. It is safe to test.

@@smooth.IT.operator yo i start my pc and i got blue screen of death so yeah i dont recommend using 16gb stick, laptop takes about 5 minutes to shutdown and its behaving weird so i swap out the 16 and insert 8gb and everything is working perfectly fine so far

@@vghxst2657yo back to you. Thank you for the feedback. You might have a bad memory module. It is a common issues unfortunately. Do you think you can get it replaced? BTW what is the detailed specs of the module? "DDR4 2400MHz CL17 1.2V" for example?

Thank you for watching. Yes, it supports SATA M.2 SSD. The Amazon links with recommendations are below the video. Expand the description section. Buy depending on your budget, 256GB or 512GB. Let me know what you were able to accomplish. Thanks you.

@@smooth.IT.operator Hello friend, thank you for answering me but actually my question is if this folio 9480m computer accepts SSD m.2 Nvme, which are faster.

@@carlosespluga3350 I see. Nvme? I don't think so. To old. Successful upgrading!

@@smooth.IT.operator I understand, thank you very much but I found users who told me that it was possible with this laptop but I would like to know if you could find out, please I need help

@@carlosespluga3350The official HP manual on page 35 says: mSATA drive 120-GB M.2, spare part number 2769712-001. Let me quote what seems like sound advice posted on HP forum, user wrote: "I would just install a large capacity 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo (faster) or a little cheaper Crucial MX500 and only use one SSD in the machine." NVMe? If you want to risk it, try 256GB max if you can get (and return it if necessary) one NVMe, type 2242.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

You can freely buy any SSD you want. No need to purchase the Patriot brand that I used. You got recommendations for SSD on Amazon also, I put the links below the video. Don't forget the SSD cable and the bracket/caddy. Happy upgrading because you will learn a lot in the process, gain confidence and experience. That is precious.

@@smooth.IT.operator Thank you!

Thank you for watching. Ordinary pry tool from the kit - Toolkit iFixit Essential Electronics. There is an Amazon link to buy it under the video.

@@smooth.IT.operator Thank you! I'll be sure to check it out!

Thank you for watching, hope it helped you to get most out of your laptop.

​@@smooth.IT.operatorHello friend, a question, does this computer board accept m2 Nvme? And if so, to what capacity could you help me please?
