    • With the computer turned over use a nylon spudger to pry the rectangular pads off to reveal two hidden screws.

    • Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove the screw that is beneath the black rubber pad, as well as the other holding down the black corner plastic pieces on both the left and right sides.

    • Place the computer on the backside of the screen, so that the bottom of it is pointing up into the air.

    • You may want to place a rag over the screen so that if the front panel touches it while being removed, no damage is caused.

    • Carefully begin to separate the top case from the bottom case, as if you are opening it like a book from the edge nearest the touch pad.

    • The two panels are connected with 4 flexible electrical ribbon strips. The ribbon strips have a locking tab that will need to be disengaged prior to removal. Using fingers, begin by removing the two strips nearest to the opening.

    • Picture 3 shows the tab unlocked

    • With the two panels now separated, you can see the other two strips towards the back of the computer. With finger, carefully release each strip from the locking tab.

    • Once all are unplugged, carefully remove the top case.

    • There is a series of tabs that hold ribbon strips around the outside of the motherboard. Remove all of the tabs as you did when removing the front panel.

    • To disconnect the 3 plugs, use your fingernails or the spudger to pry them free.

    • Some of these connections may be covered with tape that will need to be removed to gain access to the tab.

So I have a hp envy m7-u009dx… it doesn't shut down all the way and will power on all by itself even when manually shutting it down all the way, also note 2 out of three usb ports do not work right. I've reinstalled windows tried installing all drivers I could find in specified orders and found another same model that was working right and noticed It had more drivers for usb then mine but I've tried everything to get extra needed drivers installed no luck. Battery test good low cycle count, passes all diagnostics. charger does have some line noise but dont know if that will cause the not shutting down fully issue as it still doesn't do it right unplugged either. I've been told it needs a motherboard and wouldn't be worth it which makes no sense to me because motherboards are $100 to 200 for this laptop and it is still $700+ used laptop and I know I can replace motherboard easily with my years previously working with computers and electronics…. Any suggestions on what to try to further rule out motherboard
