    Question Is Core i3 380M CPU replacable in HP 630 laptop?

    My laptop is HP 630 with Intel Core i3 380M CPU. I have also 2gb DDR3 1.5v ram module in the laptop. I wanted to upgrade the RAM because i have two spare 4 GB RAM sticks, but it turned out that they are DDR3L, and have 1.35V, so they are not supported in my system(by the current CPU at least)...

    Question Intel Core i3 380m ram compatibility

    I think i tried everything i could, but still won't work. Most probable cause of my problem is not the DDR3-DDR3L incompatibility itself, but the voltage incompatibility caused by processor memory controller. This topic describes my case quite accurately ...

    Question Intel Core i3 380m ram compatibility

    Question Hi! How can I fix my laptop lenovo G40-70. I wont start and charge and the LED light is not blinking.

You should either do basic maintenance tests to determine what exactly is not working or pass the task to someone else IRL(because to fix it someone has to have physical access to the laptop to run the tests). Try unplugging the laptop from...

    Question Need a laptop recommendation

    Is minecraft modded or vanilla? It's hella different. If nothing changed for last few years(didnt play last versions of minecraft for like 5 years, but played modded 1.70), minecraft uses single-threaded process, that means CPU doesnt need to have that many cores in it(2 is enough), but the ram...

    Question Intel Core i3 380m ram compatibility

    The laptop is HP 630. Currently i have 2gb DDR3 1333mhz ram in it(although on intel webpage they say the processor supports 866/1066mhz ram, i guess it is forward compatible if voltages are the same and bios has an instruction), the second ram slot is empty. Also I have two sodimm 1600 mhz 4gb...
