Step 16 - Note

This repair guide is “almost perfect” for HP model 15-f100dx EXCEPT - removal of the Palm Rest - MUST REMOVE BACK (under Display Panel) FIRST! Attempting to remove using - the “Begin at front corner” method “WILL LIKELY CAUSE DAMAGE”. HP is generally pretty good about supplying service manuals. I find it interesting that many of the models within 15-xxxxdx series - no “online” manuals are available. I cannot say if these manuals were ever available and HP removed them from the support site, or they never existed. This genre was during the time HP was having heat issues and conflicts with “nVidia” over “WHO was actually to blame for the heat issues”. Nonetheless, at the end of the day it was and still is us lowly consumers (and repair Techs) that were and still are the MOST affected & damaged parties. Just my humble opinion…

Hope this helps,

Doug
