Replacing/Adding Computer Parts
I"m planning on replacing or adding some parts to a friends laptop such as ram, hopefully a cd drive also, and a harddrive. To be sure I'm on the right track, is there anything i need to know for getting certain parts?

I don't think it's a good idea to replace laptop parts, unless you really know what you're doing. I suggest reading a lot of reviews on the internet to compare products and prices.

For RAM: Make sure your getting the right kind of RAM that your friend's laptop works with, and make sure you get the right memory amount for each stick. The vast majority of laptops out there today have two RAM slots and the max each slot can handle is an amount that is half what the whole computer can handle.
For CD-Drives: You have to make sure you get the right kind of CD-drive. A standard full-size CD drive for a desktop will not fit in a laptop. You also have to make sure you get a CD drive with the right kind of connectors for the laptop model. For hard drives: You have to make sure you get a 2.5-inch drive and make sure you get one with the correct connectors for the laptop model Personally, I'd recommend taking it into a computer repair shop, since replacing the hard drive will require an OS, and legitimate computer repair shops usually have the OS discs for all the major computer manufacturers. The people at these shops also know what they're doing. |
Thanks for giving me an understanding! Glad to kow what I need to do. :)
