Notbook (tactile) 15-ay041wm: computer laptop 15-ay041wm replacement with SSD HDD

HI: I just bought the ay041wm-15 (product X0H86UA) and I am trying to replace the HARD drive of 1 TB with a Samsung 850 EVO. I followed the instructions on maintenance & Service Guide pages 52-53 about the removal of the bottom cover. However, after removing all the 11 screws Phillips PM2, 5 (including the two under the rubber buffers), I can not lift the cover from the bottom of the computer (or don't know how). It seems it is stuck or there may be other live. Can't find the video on the Internet. Do I need any special tools or something special to the lever open? Thank you in advance for your help.

Page 53 of the manual here:

Repair manuals

4. start prying on the front of the computer and work around to the back to separate the bottom cover of the computer.

5. remove the bottom cover.

The hardest part is getting started and the other hard part is not scratch the plastic. The two halves of the shell are a series of small plastic clips that are committed together and you have to seaparate it somewhere and then gradually expand the separation while nothing break or mark the plastic.

Start here at about 09:30. This watch remove a top does not cover a lower lid but thei idea is the same: look at how this guy starts separation and autour works with a credit card:

I do not use a credit card but a tool spudger as the cellular phone repair guys use:

It is when the rubber meets the road and that is the reason why HP does not allow end users to open it. It takes a little experience and a little bit of a touch and even a little bit of courage. That you have done two or three times, however, you'll wonder why it was so difficult.

  • computer laptop r203tx K8U03PA: problem with drivers

    I recently bought a laptop model r203tx K8U03PA, who originally BACK as operating system. I have installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit version and then visited forum hp for support for drivers, but unfortunately only few of them installed n worked correctly as WLAN, bluetooth work correctly but webcam and especially the graphics driver intel and nvidia could not install correctly leaving a message "this program could not have installed correctly".

    I have tried severla times but futile.

    He doesn't have a graphics card intel HD installed and so the performance is very poor... Please help

    Hello:

    See if it works... There are 3 driver Intel on the support page and the driver of your laptop, so I don't know that you need or if you have tried them all and none of them worked.

    First install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.  The second listed file is the auto install file.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/20775/Intel-chipset-device-software-INF-Update-utility-

    Then, install the Intel HD graphics driver and restart.  The first listed is the automatic installation file.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/25232/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-graphics-driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64bit

    Then, install the graphics driver nvidia and restart.  You can try one of the support page for your laptop (it will install not until the Intel graphics driver is installed).

    If this nVidia driver still does not work once you get the Intel graphics driver installed, then try one directly from nVidia.

  • can I upgrade a computer laptop hp pavilion ze4900 with a ssd?

    The hard drive is a failure in a hp pavilion ze4907wm (ze4900 sold through Wal-Mart).

    Are there any special considerations to replace the hard drive (capacity limit etc.)?

    Can I put a SSD PATA in there?

    Thank you

    If you can find a PATA SSD then probably. You should make sure that the rider is manually to the master. There could also be compatibility problems.

    Overall, I would recommend you just replace it with a regular PATA HDD... There is less chance of a problem.

  • Printing a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file generates a file but it is empty. How can I fix it? I have Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop for Windows 10

    When I print a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file, it creates a new file, but file Explorer says it's 0 KB in size. These .pdf files will open, but they are white - the only thing that appears is the outline of a page, without anything in the outline. When I print an .xps file, File Explorer shows that it contains 0 KB. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that the XPS Viewer cannot open the file. These things just started for me a few days after I installed Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop of Toshiba Satellite with 10 Home Windows operating system. I have the latest version of Flash Player (in fact, I just tried redownloading and reinstalling the current version; that does not solve the problem). I tried to change the format by default to print to .pdf file, but that has not solved the problem. I contacted the chat Windows support site; They told me that it was not a Windows problem. Is this a Firefox problem? If so, you can tell me how to solve the problem, please?

    Thank you
