Be sure to power off and unplug your device before you begin your repair.
Close your laptop and turn it over so that the side without the HP logo is facing you.
Using the TR9 screwdriver, loosen the nine screws from the base of the device.
These screws do not come out. Instead of removing them, you should simply loosen all the screws and proceed to the next step.

Paso 4

Remove the seven black 3mm Phillips #00 screws next to the M2x3 label along the edge of the battery using the Phillips #00 screwdriver.
There are arrows next to the labels that will help you identify the screws.
HP placed Threadlocker Blue Sealant around the screws to keep them from loosening, so be careful to not strip the screws. To avoid this, apply constant downward pressure on the screws during this step.
In this step, a JIS #00 screwdriver could be more useful than a regular Phillips #00 screwdriver.
