Pavilion DV6 2138ca
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey folks,

 

I want to upgrade my hp lapotop's (pavilion dv6- 2138 core i5 M430 @ 2.27 GHz ) RAM to 8 GB and HD to 128 GB SSD.

Will it work on this laptop?

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes it will. 

 

Pages 4-10 and -11 of this Manual:

 

Service Manual

 

You need 2 of these:

 

4096-MB, 1066 MHz DDR-3 DIMM 579156-001

Just about any SATA 2.5 inch SSD will work and I suggest this 250 gig. A 128 gig is a bit confining and not much cheaper:
