Compatible M.2 SSD upgrade devises- Confirmation Please
Hi
Is it possible to clarify the position on M.2 SSD upgrade compatibility for the HP EliteBook 840 G4. Althought it seems from 1 previous post reply (from Erico) that the Samsung Evo 960 m.2 NVMe is compatible this was not so clear in another forum expert reply (Huffer)!
So can you confirm compatibility for these (super fast) M.2 SSDs:
Samsung Evo 960 Evo
Samsung Evo 960 Pro
Samsung Evo 970 Evo
Samsung Evo 970 Pro
And, if compatible is there any SSD capacity limit on the maniboard eg 512 Gb ? - will it take 1Tb capacity ?
Most kind
External GPU
I am looking to put an external GPU on my 15-R210DX. Is this possible? Does it have an open m.2 slot? How would this work?
Re: Ram slots
OK. Good luck!!
I was going to leave it at that. Have you followed any of the links or info I provided above??
Here is your model 17-by0053od spec page:
So, it has a i3-8130U CPU. Now if you go to page 2 of service manualyou can read:
Two memory module slots (7th and 8th generation Intel Core processors) with support for 16GB (2x8GB)
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06148960
However having been here for quite a long time and seeing what many users have upgraded to we have seen that HP DDR4 notebooks will run with 32GB of RAM (even if you do not need it)
I believe the info is quite clear. However, since you believe it is least valid. Good luck and so long!!!

No warranty support
I am unable to get any support online for a HP ZBook which is still under warranty.
Their mentioned phone number is not working, the automated chat continously stated "I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide a solution, I'm still learning. How would you like to continue?", I am not getting through to a person.
Product NumberJ8Z86ET
HP support error code: PG9WXL-81X9GH-MFGK61-C0DN13
Does anybody have a valid UK number for warratny cases?

Finger Print scanner not working
Hello, We have been unable to get the finger print scanner working on our laptop, It doesnt seem to recognise a finger at all but all appears to be working in device manager, We have also tried an updated driver but this did not help / our laptop is standard out of the box received just before last Christmas. Many Thanks
Re: Ram upgrade
Here's the Service Manual:
The important points are that it has 2 slots. Manual says non-accessible not customer upgradeable but you are permitted to remove the rear cover for memory or storage upgrade and keep the warranty as long as no damage is done.
Uses DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM. Manual says 16 gigs maximum but it has been proven many times that DDR4 models can actually take 2 x 16 = 32 gigs total memory. The 2666 memory will actually run at 2400 mhz but you need to buy DDR4-2666 modules.
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
Re: Does 14-bp013ur support nvme?
Here is the Service Manual:
Supports SATA M.2 only. You have obviously already opened it so I will not link a picture of the inside.
Common error: its not the M.2 slot that has a "key": all M.2 slots are the same two-chambered arrangement. It's the SSD that has a key and NVME are commonly, but not always "M" keyed, and SATA are almost always B + M. Either will physically fit into an M.2 slot but as you have seen: just 'cause it fits don't mean it works.
So trade in the 970 Evo for an 860 Evo and you will be good to go.
Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if its the info you needed.
My laptop is plugged in but my battery won't charge
Since a recent Windows 10 update my battery isn't charging when my laptop is plugged in. I searched here and found a solution! Or so I thought. It was the same solution I had found on the HP diagnostics which I had tried and it didn't work. But I tried it again and it still didn't work.
Does anyone know of any other solutions than the one offered by HP?
Battery Swelling causing trackpad to bend and not work, laptop does not sit flat anymore.
Trackpad is bending and I don't know what to do. I'm thinking it is a battery swelling problem. The laptop does also not sit flat anymore. This is really getting in the way of my school work. Laptop is about 1 1/2 years old now and I still have to check if it is on warranty.

Re: Battery Swelling causing trackpad to bend and not work, laptop does not sit flat anymore.
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
