Hi Everyone,
I would like to Fix and Upgrade my laptop (HP DV4 1506TX)
The problem I am facing is that the laptop battery was replaced 2 times after it was bought (2.5 year old laptop). Both times the battery became dead soon. I have no idea why it happened. I followed best practices to maximize battery life, still it does not gold for even 3 minutes now.
So I need to get the laptop analyzed for issues and then replace with a new battery. Here are my questions.
1. Should I go for an original battery or a compatible one? Is it worth paying 2K-3K more for the original battery?
2. Is it possible for me to upgrade the HDD to SSD for my particular laptop model?
3. Is it worth upgrading the ram from 4GB now to 8GB (Assuming I will switch to 64bit if 8 GB ram is purchased)?
4. Is components like CPU/Motherboard upgradable?
Thanks.
