How to upgrade memory on HP EliteBook Revolve 810? Does it come with 4GB embedded in the machine?

Can you replace the WWAN Broadband with an mSATA SSD?
I would also like to know this: instead of WWAN broadband, can you add a second mSATA SSD? Anybody tried?
Usually, the WWAN slot (mSATA or M.2) supports SSDs. You can remove your SSD, install it in the WWAN slot, and enter BOIS. If you can find the SSD in the BOIS, that means you can add another SSD to the WWAN slot.
OK, so I did this: I inserted a second mSATA SSD into the WWAN slot, and sure enough, it was detected in Windows and the BIOS, as there are a HDD and a mSATA hard disk in boot options.
Where is the touchscreen cable? Mine is not working, so I want to replace it.
How about a breakdown of the process for replacing the entire screen module?
Thanks very much!
Hi,
How to upgrade the HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G3 to a bigger RAM? Is it the same as G1? Is it possible?
Will I need to solder it, or is it a socket?
Ty
The HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G3 also has only one RAM slot. Please remove the old RAM and replace it with a bigger one.
Wow! Nice!
Thanks a lot!
For some reason, the caps lock light keeps flashing constantly. Once I powered up my Revolve 810 and replaced the RAM, I was able to see the HP logo. However, when I pressed the ESC key, nothing happened.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
You should try to remove the RAM and install it again properly. Try to clear pins with air or soft fabric when installation won’t help.
Can I have 2 SSDs simultaneously in my HP 810 Revolve G1?
Yes, you can.
My HP Revolve 810 G2 Letter “F” stopped functioning. What might be the problem?
Can the CPU be upgraded, and which models are compatible with it?
