Einleitung

Accessing the internal components of the HP 15-R011DX is the beginning to find and solve the majority of all problems in the laptop. You’re going to need a Phillips #1 screwdriver and a safe place to put small pieces such as the screws and other components so to prevent loss.

    • Flip the laptop over to reveal screw locations.

    • Remove the DVD drive from the laptop.

    • Remove the two 3 mm Phillips #1 screws underneath the DVD drive.

    These two steps are in the reversed order! You need to remove the DVD drive before getting access to the screws.

    • Flip the laptop and open.

    • Detach the keyboard by prying it free from the laptop using a spudger.

    • Do not completely remove the keyboard yet. It is still attached by a ribbon cable.

    • Disconnect the keyboard ribbon cable.

    • Disconnect the two narrow ribbon cables to the left of the keyboard connection.

    • Remove five 4 mm Phillips #1 screws from the metal tray for the keyboard.

    • Pry open the plastic casing using a spudger.

    • If struggling to remove the plastic case, check that all screws have been removed.

    It was hard to get the edges up of the entire cover because it didn't want to come all the way loose.... So I looked at a video for this and saw that tech was prying up the keyboard FIRST -- BEFORE GOING AROUND THE EDGES AND REMOVING THE TOP COVER.

    ALSO... The black cover top has snaps all the way around the INSIDE hole where the keyboard was removed from. You'll have to unsnap it all along those inside edges too, to get that top cover off. Don't pull the cover all the way off because there's a thin white ribbon cable attaching the touch pad to the main area. I just placed it up higher leaning against the screen, so the hard drive and the RAM areas would be accessible since I'm replacing the RAM today.
