I have a laptop that has about 8gb ram. Want to increase it to 16gb ram and find that i can buy the ram online on amazon. I do not want to open the laptop myself and install it and would like to go to a place where they open my computer and take out the old ram and put in the new one. Im pretty certain this is very quick as i seen this done before. Does anyone know what locations in nyc has this where the cost is not a lot? There is one place where i would do things like this such as have them open my laptop and replace the battery and things like that and they cost like 30 dollars or so. But that locati



I also do not want to drop off my laptop at a location and pick it up later as i have some personal things in my laptop there etc. Does anyone have any recommendations for a laptop place where they basically do it on the spot? Thus take out my old ram and put in the new one and thats all?

It's pretty simple to install RAM. Why are you against it?

I guess Geek Squad at Best Buy.

Because i don't want to try opening it up myself and risk damaging my laptop.


Anyone else? Want to know if specific places where they do this where you don't have to drop it off and pick it up later. As this would take probably no more than a few minutes.

I see any number of storefronts that offer laptop / cellphone repair. What your talking about is so simple, any of them could do it.

if you lookup your model laptop on youtube with the words "RAM Upgrade" I'm sure you will find a step by step instructional video.

Follow it slowly and save yourself some money.

I can do these with my eyes closed, so can you!

Are you too scared of using yelp/ google and finding a location yourself??

Jump on youtube and and im sure you will find a video of how to do it.
There are also ifixit breakdowns of basically everything.

Most stores will charge you a premium to do it as soon as you drop it off.

I seen the video for my laptop. This is not that simple as the laptop model i have for it, it isn't that easy.


I did use yelp to check but the issue is almost all places want you to drop it off and pick it up later. The one place where i use to go to, that person does not do it anymore.

You stated it is not that easy so what is your problem with dropping it off and picking up later??

How about you call those places and tell them your requirement and hear what they say??
