Einleitung

If your hard drive no longer works on your HP Pavilion 15-p046nr, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through how to replace your notebook’s hard drive. You may need to change your hard drive if a loud noise can be heard every time the laptop attempts to access the hard drive or if your laptop refuses to turn on and shows an error message indicating an issue with hardware. You will need a magnetic project map, Phillips 00 screwdriver, T5 Torx screwdriver, and plastic opening tool for this replacement. Before you get started, be sure to completely disconnect power from your device.
