Upgrading the Asus X401A-RGN4 – RBL4 – RPK4
In this video I am upgrading the hard drive and ram on my budget friendly laptop. As I mentioned in the video, this is not for beginners or novices. Link to the Drivers: j.mp Intel Mobile H70 Chipset: j.mp Links: RAM UPDATE: The Komputerbay RAM modules gave me problems so I do not recommend it for now until I get another set to try out. I could have just had bad sticks. For now here are links to a higher quality RAM chip by Corsair: 8GB j.mp Corsair Vengence 8GB j.mp Anti-Static Mat: j.mp Hard Drives: 500GB Momentus XT: j.mp 750GB moentus XT: j.mp OCZ 256GB SSD Aglility 3 j.mp SAMSUNG 830 Series 256GB SSD: j.mp Portable DVD Drive: j.mp

Great video! Unfortunately I have an x401U and this was the closest vid I could find to my model -? turns out my ram is intergrated on the motherboard. >< All for nothing heh. Cheers anyway mate
Do you plan to upgrade the processor to an? i-series?
Finished the video lol, nvm. Suppose the site is just? wrong. Keep the videos coming.
Now I know it’s single channel, but on the Asus website, it says that the max supported on this motherboard is 4gb, though I’ve read through other sites and your video that it can support 8gb.? Was it registering as 8 for you? Thought I’d ask before I ordered some.
can i upgrade asus x401u? ram?
Is there a dedicated graphics card capability on this laptop, I would like to stick something powerful in it…. Is? that possible?
Thank-you so much for posting this video, Windows 8 screwed up so I needed to remove the hard drive to fix the laptop. With how annoying it is to get? to the hard drive in this laptop I am just going to switch the OS so I don’t have to do this again any time soon, lol.
i did it with my x401a, just changed the hdd with an ssd, if you are just going to change the hdd you don´t need to remove the keyboard cables, , just put it carefully over the screen (don´t scratch the screen) and do the work
actually it was easy, the killing part is trying to open the laptop, removing the keyboard from? the case, it sound like you are breaking things
thanks a lot for the vid, laptop is awesome
Good luck? and thanks for watching!
I don’t have it anymore and that RAM was not compatible with this notebook. I put links in the description to a compatible RAM. Sorry for the late reply and thanks for watching!?
Epic! I? just was looking for how to insert more mem in my x501u
??? ?????????????
