Notebook : HP Beats 15-p016AU (Disassembly)

This is another example of bad design of notebook, you need to disassemble almost all the parts just for a simple HDD and RAM upgrades.

Let's start shall we....

1. Remove all the screws as shown.

2. You need to remove the black cover to reveal another hidden screws.

3. Next turn over the notebook with the keyboard facing you and slowly open the entire bezel, becareful on the keyboard & touchpad's ribbon cables.

4. After removing the bezel, you can now see the mainboard as shown below. If you have noticed, the RAM slots are not visible.

5. Disconnect all ribbon cables and cables and remove the screws as shown below.

6. Slowly remove the mainboard, as always do not force it out. Once the mainboard is removed, turn it over and now you can see the RAM slots (as shown below).

You know I don't really understand by manufacturer decided not to grant easy access to these components... I really don't... anyway I hope these will help others.

!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
