I wish all laptops were this easy to open and fix. Apple likes to solder on the ram and SSD making it impossible for the average person to replace.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful, especially on the not try to remove the screws out 😅

Thanks brother,,,,it's helpful 😄

Nice! Well done, great content, excellent edit.

Good video. With both sides of the module being identical you can figure out which side is up by lining up the notch with the slit.

Thanks! I would have never found by myself how to open the case :)

Does it have to be two new rams or you can just leave the old one in and then add another 8gb ram to the original one that was installed

So my Hp is similar but has a Hard drive but as well noticed an empty slot for an SSD stick as you had in this video. Could I Upgrade to the SSD stick or should I swap out the standard HDD for an SSD HDD?

how do you enable the finger print on elite book 840 G5?

the way he flip his laptop back to the table my heart feels it : (

Just added additional memory and my computer is boosting the hard drive longer than expected. Not turning back on. How long could it take to turn back on?

Great video very easy to follow just next time I suggest you get some ESD wrist straps or at least touch metal before you touch any internal components to release any static electricity you might have because you can damage some parts if you shock them with static electricity (even if you don't see/feel the shock specially since you're doing it on the carpet). Sorry I'm a computer tech and I had to mention that for others doing their own upgrades.

I need add two disk hard (hdd and ssd )! I can or no🤔??

i have a question i see that you picked the ram with 2666mt/s is it ok to take the 3200mt/s version ? and is it worth the cost ? and also i'm on the 850 g6 and my ram speed is 2400mHz so maybe it can change. thank you

Do you know what is the max SSD capacity this model supports? I know the official information is 1TB but it is not always accurate.

What's the biggest ram you can fit? I saw 32gb on eBay AU 32GB 2X16GB DDR4-2666MHZ 21300s SO-DIMM Laptop Memory For HP EliteBook 840 G5 $120 au

Can we add gpu this notebook?

Im having difficulty getting the ram sticks to come out. I have 16 gigs and I want to upgrade to 32 gigs.

Crucial store advisor was helpful to check the compatible SSD and RAMS, so you could go to crucial website check the compatible ones, and could buy from Amazon India, the link is provided in their website.

I have the same laptop but it's super slow with an 8gb DDR4 RAM and a 256SSD. Its taking more than 30sec to boot to tee password and once you are in the system it response very slow to operations and it also take time to copy files. How can I solve this problem.?

Hey, why do you take the original memory out? Can we just add another one to slot 2? What is the original memory brand, isn't it a kingston?

You can, you will want to match the ram as close as possible. Its cheaper to buy them in pairs and I would use the other ram for another computer so I did it that way.

Thanks for a good and clear video. I have ordered one refurbised one with 16gb and 512gb ssd with i7 cpu. Have seen some other guide and noone is starting with removing the battery connection. I mean, we all learnt that we always should start with remove power. As one already mentioned, use an anti static wrist band is always a good idea. Better to stay safe than being sorry afterwards. When reading the specifikation on HP, they write that 2x16GB is maximum but have some tried to use sticks with lover CAS and higher freq, will it work and will it benefit in some better performance? 1TB of m2 disk is stated to be max but I have seen at corsair upgrade site that 2TB should work fine too.

Hey Eric, I hope you are well. Thanks for the video. I have a similar laptop which has overheating problems. What could be the cause of overheating? Is the fan broken or it could be something different? Do you have a video demonstrating fan replacement? Note: I have never opened it before since I bought it in the UK, about 2 years ago. Thanks!

From Experience it could possibly be the fan and vent need to be cleaned. The air vent on the side pushed out air from the fan being located on the bottom the laptop causing dust, lint etc to get inside. I had a laptop always shut off and that was the fix. Give it a try. Best of luck
