Thank you! I had no idea it was this hard to access the disk drive in these things. I salvaged an SSD and 4 gb ram from am old underpowered laptop and got them both installed thanks to this video! And surprisingly it all worked! A computer that spent most of its time disk bound with disk I/O at 100% or close to it, now runs a few percent disk on idle, and is quite useable now.

I had found an older HP that looked just like this one some time ago, amazing condition, I updated the OS from Win8 - Win10 and had older memory modules and added 4 gb to total 8 gb. Just tonight I followed this tutorial replacing the 750 gb hdd with a spare 120 gb SSD (I had imaged the OS prior) reassembled and restored the image and it was a total success! For those wondering my entire OS footprint is around 35 gb all up to date including Office 2016, it is my secondary laptop (I have a nice mid tower desktop for gaming and video editing) so this HP laptop will literally only ever be used for internet, watching KZread and AT MOST minor Excel and Word work. So, I was more than happy to sacrifice all that extra hard drive storage for the SSD speed, it has made a very noticeable difference, before even once the desktop loaded it took several seconds more for my taskbar items to finish appearing or my start menu to become accessible. Now with the SSD loading to desktop is so much quicker, taskbar items load almost instantly and the entire os is snappier and more responsive. Typically, I am comfortable upgrading components that are accessible but in this case I likely would not of attempted it had I not found your video! This tutorial was thorough and completely accurate as my own upgrade can attest to. 😎🍻Thanks👍

Thanks, this helped a lot!

Good work. Helped me remove the system fan. The fan design sucks cool air in from the keyboard instead of from the bottom. This design is for people leaving their laptop on bed but sucks dirt and gunk through the keyboard.

wonderful explanation and very well detail video about HP Pavilion 15 and it's so wonderful - love it - thumbs up ;)

Can he re ensemble again?

goated

How to get the upper cover of this laptop ? The one surrounding the keyboard....

This actually helped a lot, as these HP models are cheap and prone to failures: - replaced HDD with SSD, HDD failed a couple of months out of the warranty - replaced the fan, as it was quite noisy and impossible to oil - not to mention memory upgrade, that was rather easy The design of these HP Pavilion 15 is pure shit, the most common upgrades are very time demanding.

can u upgrade its performance by replacing other parts (like its AMD Radeon 10) ? and its ssd, gb ram?

what model is this exactly?

Thanks for the video. This is the worst piece of shit I've ever worked on.

Can someone remove the graphics card from this model? My nvidia card is not being detected that is why I am asking

What are you doing to the connector for the keyboard ribbon? I can't see what you did there. I removed the keyboard and put it back, and now the keyboard doesn't work. Ribbon cable is firmly seated, but when I power on I have no keyboard. Why is HP still allowed to make this crap?

@GGALLIN1776 you guys probably broke the ribbon, so buying a replacement keyboard might help.
