hello everyone please welcome and join
me Easy Steps today I'm going to share
with you the Lenovo laptop and I'm going
to upgrade memory and hard drive and
how I do disassembled how do I update my
memory and hard drive I'm going to share
with you I have a 4 GB memory 320 GB hard
drive I'm going to replace with the 750 GB
Hard Drive and these two sticks are 8 GB each
so I'm replacing with a 16 GB how I
do it let's start it first of all I need
to shut down the computer once the power
is shut down we're going to turn the
computer over we need a pick and screw
driver it's a Philips screwdriver
first of all we're going to open these
two screws I'm going to use this screw
driver this one has a magnet so we can
take this screws out these two then there
will be three screws on the sides one
one in the middle one at the end these
are smaller screws these are the much
longer ones the one we took out two of
these from here other thing we need to
do to the remove these two in order to
remove it we need to it straight
screwdriver to open these feet we're
going to pry it out so just so as we
insert it in you will open up the same
thing on the other one so it opens up
this one has a screws in there one here
one here so we going to open that yeah
and I'm going to use my magnet I'm
going to pull the screws out one thing
I'm going to suggest that you mark up
for the screw locations because the
each screw has a different length wise
so it will be easier for you to remember
it for me I do many times so I do
remember that where screws goes this is
the DVD
put your nail up here you just pry it
out and this will open up the DVD cover
so put it up here now the important
thing we need to turn around open up we
need to open the keyboard you can use
pry tools or you can use a screwdriver
but you can damage the surroundings or
the keyboard as I always suggest use
your nail these pry tools you can use
it but there is not enough room so it's
hard to use it using a fingernail is the
best thing to do so as you pry it out
we just need to put our fingernail so
I'm just going to put my fingernail in
here and I pry it out as it pried out a
little bit now I can use the pry tool
it open I open from the other side as
well
you can see this is easy how you open it
this is the ribbon cable this is a
flap you can use pry tool you can pry
it out or as always I say use your
fingernail just lift that thing open and
it will come out same thing on this side
lift it up and your keyboard is out now
this one has one two three four and five
screws we need to open them two three
four and number five
once all the screws open I will use my
magnet screwdriver lift all the screws
so these are five screws now we need to
close it again keep the screws
in a safe place once all the screws are
open now we're going to turn this one
over on the DVD we're going to open these
screws 3 small screws they are really
tiny one I'm going to use my magnet
again and lift those screws that 3 of them
these screws are open now we're
going to go on this end and we're going
to use a guitar pick then we need to pry
this one out and you heard the pop we're
just going to pry it off just like that
so once it's pried out will come on this
side and we'll use the pry tool again
and this one opens in order to open it
you lift this one up and then they will
open up again but we're going to run
over pry tool all the way on the edges
you don't want to force it because then
you can break the tabs then they won't
close it when are we going to close it
again so as you heard these tabs are
opening up
that's it that's how you remove the
cover now here is the memory you open
the side taps it lifts up then you pull
it back one two these are 2 GB each so
they are 4 GB to replace it with 8 GB so
that's going to give me 16 GB that's
it it locks in you insert it in you
press it then lock now this is the hard
drive in order to open the hard drive we
need to open one two three four screws
three screws the same kind one is little
different but as I mentioned that it's a
good idea that you can make a diagram
no piece of paper and you can write it
down with these screws where they come
from then it would be easier for you to
put it back this is the fourth one is a
little longer
screws open now the hard drive you push
this one back then you lift it up it
comes out in order to remove the hard drive
there are four screws one two and the
two one on other side so I'll remove these
four
320 GB this hard drive is much slower
320 GB it's 5400 RPM and I'm going to
replace with 750 GB 7200 RPM so that
would be much faster to put all the four
screws so l will button up so I will place all the
4 screws in order to put them in
tilt it like this you go on connector
once it's seated there then you press it
from back and it snaps in so I get locks
in now we're going to put the screws
back so if you have marked down screws
then it will be easy for you because it one
is the longer screw the other 3
will be the smaller the longer ones
going to be in the front once the
harddrive is secured
now one thing I would always suggest
that once you have opened if you look at
that the fan is so ugly looking so
dirty
so just clean it look at that so much
dirt is coming out
just full with the dirt because you
don't want to open it again to clean up
your fan and if it's a clogged up this
is the time and this will pay attention
anywhere if it's a dirt or something and
then we can pull it up and now I'm just
going to blow it and same thing the
front grill so make sure that all
the dirt has been cleaned all the vent
looks clean and looking perfect now
we're going to put back the cover so
once we place the cover basically slowly
drops it on top and then just press it
as you heard the snaps it snaps in
looking perfect now I'm going to place
the screws these are the 3 screws
will go on the DVD and these are the
tiny screws 3 screws are tightened
then we're going to place this one back
in the cover put it slowly like this and
then just press it it will locks in so now
we're going to go on the front side and
we're going to place the screws in open it
so we're going to place all the 5 screws
once all the screws are tightened
now we're going to place keyboard now
it's so important it's inserted then you
put the lock back in same thing on this
side
you don't force it other hand we just
press it all that locks in
now these are the tabs you just insert
it in you put it on the top and you
press it press it on the sides as well
and it locks in now we can close it
again go on the back now this is the
where the other screw is going to go in
these 3 small tiny ones will go on
in the front and these 2 will go in
these holes
once these are tightened now these are
the longer screws we'll go in the
middle now we have to put the foot pad
for the foot pad that's a really
important that there is orientation if
you see that like a moon round shape
and it's like a that's the tab over
there so that's indicator how that's
gonna go so it's really easy you put
this same on this side and you just put
it up there and just press it and it
will lock on this side the moon is
facing this way and the moon is right
here so we're going to put it this way
so that's the orientation we're going to
press it and that's it that's how it's
easy to upgrade your Lenovo Laptop for
memory upgrade or hard drive upgrade or
how to disassemble and reassemble it
