Lenovo Legion Go 32GB RAM Upgrade

In this video, I go over the process of upgrading a Lenovo Legion Go handheld PC from its stock 16GB of system memory, to 32GB. Unlike in my previous attempt at upgrading the Steam Deck, I had to manually modify the SPD data in the system BIOS in order for it detect all the installed memory, rather than simply flashing a pre-modified BIOS image.

My man woke up this morning and chose greatness. Seriously impressive work as usual.

Dosdude’s superpower is to be able to buy the entry level version of any product

This is beyond my realm of understanding, but was still intrigued. I wish I had a friend like this guy! Well done sir!

[marcguerao]

Would love to see an Before/After test in apps and games
Nice work!

You're a legend dude. Changing soldered memory modules is probably more common than swapping DIMM's for you 😅

[bicammo]

Always crazy skills !
I discovered your videos 2 months ago and since then I've been hooked 👍

Holy cow! Not sure how I ended up here. But that was a wonderful dive into high pitch soldering and hex editing.
Very well explained I could probably even do it now!

You definitely have a way of making a complicated procedure seem simple. I look forward to your next video . . . how to replace your own heart without missing a beat.

This is cool to watch but you will have to flash the memory whenever you do flash a new firmware on the bios. So, if you are thinking of having someone upgrade the system memory, remember, you have to flash the memory everytime you upgrade the bios. This is info not told to people.

His voice is so soothing, it's like someone is scratching my head

I'm always amazed by how easily you can deal with those ICs with the tools you have! Well done!

[BaldBadger]

Bro just hand swaps a BGA with no Xray no oven. Wild stuff bro. I worked as a SMT operator for years and this is impressive.

[stankozniewski]

Now this is educational and entertaining ❤

[afonrabbit]

You make all these upgrades and repairs seem so easy man I can't stop watching

[itsmiggy]

i have been looking for this, thankyou thankyou🌺

[franlp]

Amazing work as aways! And that bios editing part was a great lesson.

[dikasaja]

Since iGPU and CPU use the same & shared memory, 32GB RAM is make sense. Love the details on this video

[emperatorgaming]

way out of my league but boy i watch the whole vid, so fun to watch, thanks!!

[SockyNoob]

God I'd hate to see just how tiny the stencils for solder balls of that small of a footprint must be. Sheesh, must be a nightmare. Also you made dumping, updating, a flashing a BIOS look so easy omg.

You seem like a computer scientist and a computer engineer stacked in one person.
