Einleitung

In this guide we will be showing you how to replace the RAM on your HP Pavilion x360 m3-u103dx. This will help if your computer starts to slow down or if you are just looking for an upgrade. The RAM is located on the underside of the motherboard when coming from a keyboard first entry.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the power and all external devices connected to the computer.
Working on your device while it is turned on may result in electric shock.

Schritt 2

Use a Metal Spudger and remove the rubber foot closet from the bottom of the laptop.

Schritt 3

Remove all of the screws located on the bottom of the laptop:
5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws
5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws
Make special note of each screw and screw lock size and location during removal and replacement.

“5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws”

“5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws”

I think the color for the sizes are mixed up, because the one near the screen bending part are the bigger ones, yet it says they are the “2.0 x 5.0 mm” but they are the bigger ones.

If I’m wrong, tell me because I’m not sure if thats the ways they’re named because I’m not an expert at screw sizes.

This is the procedure for replacing the FAN, not the screen, and the board absolutely must be removed to replace the fan.
