Awesome video I watch so many others but your video is the one that help. Thanks for taking the time to make the video really appreciate you.

I notice you didn't remove the screws. Are they removable? Or captive? I can't seem to get any of them out, they loosen, but stop doing so and keep clicking after a bit. Obviously they could be captive, but a little scared to rip this thing apart to find out.

What do you think maximum ram capacity?
8gb onboard
16gb extra will eork fine (24gb)
But; 32gb ram+8gb onboard=40gb will not work right?

Hi, very good video, well detailed!!!!

But, best practices say that you should disconnect the battery to perform this procedure.

Very helpful video....thank you! Can you please confirm that the memory really is running in dual channel mode, such as looking at the memory page of CPU-Z. Since the memory you buy for the SODIMM is unlikely to have the same specs as the soldered memory chips, it is kind of a crap shoot if the memory subsystem will really be able to run in dual channel mode. But if this Crucial memory you bought works for you in dual channel mode, I will try it on my E14 too.

does this Void lenovo's warranty also is there any specific ram that should be used or is any laptop ram with 3200 Hz fine

Shouldn’t you remove the battery and flush the power first

Hey nice video.
I m looking to buy this laptop but confused between ryzen 5 5500u and ryzen 7 5700u. There is 67$ difference between the two. I am a casual user but looking to keep the machine for long period of time. Will ryzen 5 5500 u do the work for next couple of years or should I go with ryzen 7 5700u.

[bokology]

Hi display scaling are you using? 150% seems off.

[stalbaum]

Hey,
I installed 8Gb 3200 Mhz ram but after one day my laptop keep crashing and seeing blue screen. I removed the ram and now I’m not seeing any issue.
I tried with 3 different ram and seeing the same issue.
Ram is good no issue at all. No error in memtest.
Can you help?

if i purchase thinkpad gen 3(amd) with 8gb onboard ram and selectable memory to none (by customization), will it have one extra(free) SODIMM slot? i should not ask this because in the video i can see that it have the extra slot!

Is there any thermal pad for the SSD installed? In the service manual, "Before installing a new M.2 2280 solid-state drive, ensure that the thermal pad is installed properly."

[niolss]

Can you ad a 16 or 32 GB memory or only 8?

Can anyone help me? I want to upgrade my m.2 ssd in my Asus Vivobook laptop. The thing is, I see that many m.2 ssd's come with heat sinks. My laptop is too thin to make an m.2 fit with a heat sink, and the current 128gb m.2 in my laptop does not have a heat sink. Now my question is; Does a 2tb m.2 ssd run too hot to use without a heatsink in a laptop? Should I be looking at a smaller m.2 that runs less hot? Or is the heat of a 2tb m.2 not going to be a problem for a laptop? Thank in advance to any who answer!
