Upgrade Ram on your laptop to improve multitasking and speed ⭐

While many laptops can have their RAM upgraded, it’s important to note that there are certain laptop models that have limitations or restrictions when it comes to upgrading RAM. These limitations can include:

Soldered-on RAM: Certain laptops, especially ultrabooks or slim models, have their RAM modules soldered directly onto the motherboard. While this design choice enhances portability and stability, it eliminates the option to upgrade or replace the RAM. Such laptops typically come with non-upgradeable or limited RAM configurations.
RAM slot limitations: Laptops typically have a limited number of RAM slots available, and the number can vary from one model to another. Some laptops may have only one RAM slot, while others can have two or even four RAM slots.If all the RAM slots in your laptop are already occupied with existing RAM modules, you won’t be able to perform a RAM upgrade without removing the current modules. In such cases, you would need to replace the existing modules with higher capacity ones, if supported by your laptop. However, this will depend on the maximum supported RAM capacity specified by the laptop’s manufacturer.
Compatibility: Laptop motherboards have specific requirements for RAM modules, including supported frequencies, types, and capacities. It’s crucial to ensure that any desired RAM module meets these specifications in order for it to be compatible with the laptop. If you install a RAM module with a higher frequency than what the motherboard supports, it may either be incompatible or automatically downclocked to match the supported frequency. It’s crucial to identify the type of RAM ( DDR3, DDR4, or DDR5) supported by the motherboard before purchasing a new module. Different RAM types have different physical notches and electrical specifications, so they are not interchangeable.
Proprietary designs: SCertain laptop manufacturers use proprietary designs or modules that aren’t compatible with standard RAM. These modules differ in dimensions, layouts, or requirements, hindering standard RAM upgrades. They ensure optimal compatibility and performance within specific laptop models. Consequently, market-available RAM may not fit these specialized slots. Upgrading such laptops often requires specific RAM from the manufacturer or authorized retailers, tailored to meet requirements. Research and verify upgrade options, consult documentation or support for compatible RAM and procedures.
Manufacturer restrictions: Some laptop manufacturers enforce limitations on RAM upgrades using firmware or BIOS restrictions. These limitations can block the usage of certain RAM modules or restrict the maximum amount of RAM recognized by the system.

Volta personnel was prompt and clear in answering queries via WhatsApp – even after office hours. The costs of the repairs were reasonable. I appreciate very much that they expedite my repairs to accommodate my time constraints.

Horrible service, Don’t fix at Volta! The touch bar does not properly light up even after they claimed to have fixed. And the touch pad is also not functioning properly. Do not go to this scamming Volta store to fix. Also this stupid ugly employee… is extremely rude and kept interrupting when I was trying to explaining to that idiot. That stupid ugly employee looks like a mentally retarded nerd wearing spectacles and is skinny.read more

Very satisfied with Volta PC laptop repair service. One of the best laptop repair service I’ve usedReplaced my dell laptop with a new battery and also a laptop screen replacement there. They checked my laptop screen and battery to ensure parts is… compatible. Also, they have gone the extra mile to clean my laptop and did a thermal pasting for free. They also provide me with a 6 months warranty. Better warranty than other laptop repair shops near me. Recommended this place if you are looking to repair your laptopread more

Had my desktop sent here as it stopped working during an intense gaming session.Ken is very passionate about computer parts/ installation/ overall look for the desktop and willing to share his expertise. He is very patient at explaining the issues… and what other potential troubles to look out for after the fix.Got together some parts (power supply, GPU and fan cooler) myself and Ken installed them within a day at a cost of $95.He also looked through the temperature of the CPU and GPU, cleaned up the interior, and updated my motherboard, graphics card and Windows software.A huge thanks for helping and teaching me!read more

I cracked my laptop screen on Friday and went to contact Volta PC to ask for their price and whether it can be fixed. The next day l went to their shop and luckily the screen can be replaced and it is done within a few hours. I collected back my… laptop on that day itself too. Thank you for the excellent service 😄read more

Went to fix my Lenovo Laptop, diagnosed with a SSD issue. Great, got fixed.Not even one month later, entire laptop fails to boot.Take it to a friend who knows about parts, he opens and the motherboard is fried. Thermal paste is all over the place,… overheated the motherboards chips. Costed over $200 in repairs for this.Image attached is how it looks from a friend who got a repasting here.Do not recommend, overpriced and ruins your stuff.read more

Ken took the time to harmonize expectations on results of cleaning. Did not hard sell / up sell. Understood the problem and suggested specific and targeted solutions. Awesome experience!Went back to Ken a few weeks later due to a recurring problem… while gaming, Ken spent the time to patiently explain and engage on what the possibilities are and the solution that he deeply researched. After a few trials and error tuning parameters, it works great!!!read more

Went in for a Lenovo screen change as a line was running across it and showing doubles whenever I scrolled. Service guy was friendly and fixed it in about an hour. Repair work is great. Charged $355. Screen is now clearer than ever. Would recommend.
