Einleitung

In order to replace any faulty or outdated component (such as the battery, hard drive, CD drive, RAM, or screen), you will need to open your HP Pavilion 15-cd040wm by disassembling its back cover.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect it from any external power source.

    • The first step is to remove the four rubber non-slip pads on the bottom of the laptop to expose screws hidden underneath them. Peel off each tab with your fingers.

    • If you have trouble gripping a tab, use a spudger to wedge it loose.

    • Using the iFixit opening tool, carefully pry along the sides of the back cover.

    • After all of the edges of the back cover have been freed, use your opening tool to carefully unclip the tabs holding the back cover to the CD drive.

    • After everything is unclipped, you can safely remove the back cover from the rest of the device.

    You did not describe how to remove the CD drive. It suddenly disappeared between step 2 and step 3.

It's not listed in here, but to remove the cd tray, just pull it straight out. The whole drive has a connector at the back.

I’m trying to remove my backing and it seems to have a lip that goes over the edge, so I’m having a hard time getting it apart. Any suggestions?

Is this the same process for the HP Pavilion 15-cc055od? Do I pull out the disk drive as well? How would I remove the hard drive?
