HP EliteBook 840 G5 SSD Storage Replacement

Introducción

If you are experiencing difficulties with the functionality of the solid-state drive (SSD storage) in your HP Elitebook 840 G5, this guide will provide you with clear steps on replacing your SSD storage. The replacement only requires the listed screwdriver and plastic opening kit under the "Parts" category of this guide. While this replacement is relatively simple, proceed with caution as the entire backing of your computer will be removed leaving the internal electrical components exposed during the SSD replacement.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to undo the five screws. The top three screws are 10 mm and the two side screws are 7 mm.

    • Unscrew the bottom three screws using the same screwdriver.

    • The bottom Phillips #1 screws don't remove from the back plate, but do need to be unscrewed.

    • Some models have a slightly different screw configuration, shown in the second photo.

    • Turn computer so that the hinged side is facing up.

    • Use the plastic opening tool to pry open the back plate.

    • Drag the plastic opening tool along the edge from left to right and use a second opening tool to pry open the top right corner.

    • Repeat the 3rd step for the other side.

    • Repeat on Left and Right sides of the system. There are two points in the middle (on the left and right sides of the center screw) that will release with slight lifting pressure.

    • You should be able to hear a pop when prying open the corners.

This guide was very useful.

I have only one to-add: take care of the little SSD screw (at step 4), don’t let it fall to the motherboard. For me it gave a bit of spark and smell.

Very useful guide indeed. To avoid issues issues similar to the above mentioned, it would be better to disconnect battery first.

Another question: can SSD drives with heat sink like WD SN750 Black be installed in this laptop?

Thanks

Before removing the SSD, should you not backup what's on that drive in order to reinstall it on the new SSD? Last question, can a replacement SSD be more than just 238 gb on this particular laptop?

Should also unplug the battery. Any M2.2280 should be fine.
