HP Envy 15-k: Can I upgrade my RAM to two 16GB cards with the system information?

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 21:03:47 -0700

I’m looking to upgrade the RAM in my laptop. It currently has memory slot 1 with 8GB Samsung 1600 MHz and the manual says it can support up to 16GB by adding another 8GB SO-DIMM into slot 2.

However, I would like to know if my computer can handle two 16GB SO-DIMMs and if so, which ones are compatible. Thanks for your assistance.

Additional information:

Product #: G6U23UA

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz
System Memory: 8GB Samsung 1600MHz

HP Envy 15-k: Are Envy 15-K and 17-K touchpads the same?

I have to replace a touchpad in an Envy 17-K, but am having trouble finding the part. The manual actually lists the 15-K and 17-K as having different part numbers, but they definitely look the same in pictures. If anyone has any experience with it personally, would love to hear from you. Thanks!

HP Envy 15-k: No bootable device found after laptop used in journey

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 06:29:51 -0700

I had a strange issue. I used my laptop while travelling and when reached home, I opened it after few days and saw there was “No bootable device - - insert boot disk and press any key" error. Story is interesting. My laptop has an SSD inside and a hard disk in place of dvd socket using a katty. Both hard disks have installed windows 10 both of which are working and bootable in normal conditions.

Well when I saw this error, I used every online help to change bios settings, removed hard disks and re-inserted, took it to every technician in town but it gave same error. While I was thinking to format and try to reinstall windows, as hard disks were detected as per bios, I went to my final technician, gave him the laptop, he took it, held it high in both hands for around 15 seconds while I was not looking what he did, he said, “Your laptop is working now.” What……… I could only say that.

Time passed..

I never opened my laptop during journey after that except yesterday, and look what has happened: it is giving that same error again with same grace. No bios settings working.

Does anybody has any idea about what keys that person may have pressed to get the laptop working? Or did he do something else? Or was it just nothing and laptop got working on itself? I am far away from that technician so if anybody here can help, it will be great. Thanks
