S410p battery swap

Screenshot_20221202_154441.thumb.jpg.c4994679642c88be6a727a0f8fd50323.jpg

 

Currently use my moms old laptop (s410p) but needs to be constantly plugged into the wall cause battery is shot

 

Highest capacity ive found is the battery with model number or whatever you call those codes l12s4e01 with 2900mah/41wh capacity

 

Basically im just wondering if itll work or not

 

 

Next upgrade will be ssd cause hdd is slow af (far better than the craptop but still slow), that ill just buy a used 240gb pm871 and the next will be 2x4 ddr3 for 8gb ddr3 in dual rank config but those all depend on if the stupid battery swap works or not cause id rather not upgrade a laptop thats essentially a desktop since its gotta be constantly plugged into the wall

Hey so im gonna do something a bit out of scope here but.

 

6th and 7th gen bussiness laptops with 8gb of ram and a ssd are 100$ and a lot nicer than this device + have working batteries. Since this battery is like half that cost already id think about this.

 

Youd be better off getting a faster newer better laptop for the pricr of your upgrades.

 

I also do not think that battery will work as this is for a different class of devices. Even tho it does look very similar.

Best i can find is an x260 at 143$ and x270 at 160$ with core i3 6/7100u so i doubt ill see an actual performance gain atleast when i turbo unlock the s410p and run 2.6ghz since intel stagnated after haswell, the battery is 13$ converted to usd and the description explicitly says its compatible with the s410p so ill beable to return it if its not working

 

But i assume the advantages are more i/o related or something like that

 

 

S410p seems to be more like a buisness laptop considering that it has a cd tray and 4 ram slots, and this s410p seems to have some sort of damage on the display so resale value isnt gonna be great

Also has a dedicated gpu but its a gt 720m and im not gaming on it

 

Though the x260 and x270 are smaller 12 inch laptops and have touchscreen displays which is neat

If you don't have the cash to buy something new, go for it. As long as the battery is the same model as the existing one, it should work just fine.

 

If I were you though, I'd just get a better laptop. this one is what.. 10 years old? It's not worth investing money into.

Resale value is meh cause of the display but ill give it a shot atleast once i buy the battery cause no way in hell are ppl gonna buy this thing w/o battery, maybe if i can get 200$ for it ill sell it off to buy a better laptop

 

ill already need to dump 13$ to resell

 

If i keep the laptop ill get a used pm871 240gb ssd (18$) and 2x4 ddr3 (5$) accounting for resale of existing ddr3 4gb stick so if a better laptop will be noticably better than 23$ worth of upgrades while being relatively cheap (i think maybe around 40-50$ max over the laptops resale value) then ill consider a change in laptop, besides i dont really need a dgpu nor the cd player

I made a typo in conversion and I had 10x the price

 

The s410p is very much a consumer device back then having a cd tray was normal in budget systems

 

Id not get the i3 systems

 

The screen either has some intense backlight bleed or its slowly having layers come apart/dead pixels. Be carefull and try not to open it there/put pressure.

 

For 13$ a new battery is a good idea.

 

By the time you have money for the other upgrades id look again on the used market. 8th gen and up stuff is dropping quite a bit.

13$ is not alot and i have about 50$ ish worth of components i can liquidate and actually already have 14$ just sitting around aka not spent yet so i can easily buy the battery if i want

Though i do find the 4 ram slots quite odd, normally youd only have 2, i mean even a workstation laptop like the 8770w only has 2 slots on the i5 variant, pretty nice to have for cheap ram upgrades though since 2gb modules are just cheaper than 4gb modules

 

 

Im also contemplating sticking to w8.1 or jumping to w10 ltsc, mostly because ram usage since i kinda just dont give a crap about updates

Online safety wise defo jump to 10 or even 11 as rufus removes the tpm part.

 

4 ram slots was honestly kinda random 😛

wait rufus just removes the w11 tpm requirement?

 

Doesnt running w11 on "unsupported" hardware do stupid crap like no windows updates or something like that? Or has that changed and i never noticed because i geniunely dont give a crap about w11 especially when you are forced to make a god damn ms account

 

 

I am leaning more on w10 ltsc mostly cause software support, though i do wonder how bad ram usage is even on a basically debloated w10

It just runs and does its thing. Win 11 kinda just thinks all is ok.

So basically you can run w11 without any drawbacks on "unsupported" hardware?

Pretty much.

 

Only thing to watch out is driver support. Almost any 10 driver works on 11 but some are an acception

Version updates like going from 21H2 to 22H2 is a bit tricky but not that hard when following a tutorial.

Because of that I wouldn't recommend average people to run Win11 on unsupported hardware
