Notebook : Hp Pavilion X360 Convertible [P/N : 13-U113tu] (Disassembly)

A friend of mine late flora his laptop to live either real irksome or volition sometimes freezes, he asked my help to upgrade it or to arrive fast (whatever it takes)...

Well you lot know me, I can't spend upwards a friend :D

To live on the safe side, I demand to ensure the part's expose is right as well as whether it supports whatsoever variety of upgrade such every bit RAM & SSD. Thus taking it apart is a must, good kinda every bit I also demand to refresh the thermal chemical compound of the CPU.... hither it goes.

At offset glance, the offset affair that came into my heed was.... WOW! solely iv hidden screws ?? Then I realized there's to a greater extent than hidden beneath the safe strip (as shown below).

As always, opening whatsoever plastic embrace induce got patience, slow, steady as well as skills. After removing those rubbers it reveals all the screws.

Trying my best to take away the embrace doesn't seems to work, later on figuring out what went incorrect as well as then it only hitting me that there's roughly other hidden screw inwards the middle. Who would induce got idea that is a screw hidden inwards there.

Now later on removing the middle screw, I idea this is uncomplicated but to my surprise I demand to flip over to take away the keyboard instead. Carefully I removed the entire keyboard panel every bit non to damaged the keyboard & touchpad ribbon cables.

Flipping over the keyboard panel later on its been removed. Nothing much hither but only to shows you lot how it looks like.

The below movie is the mainboard revealed, only similar normal the HDD, battery as well as other stuffs is visible, but I can't seems to honor the RAM's slot(s). Now it hits me again, the RAM slot(s) powerfulness live underneath the mainboard as well as only to live certain I demand to take away the mainboard.... ugghhh !! This induce got disassembly tasks induce got cash inwards one's chips from normal to extreme. 

There are half dozen screws to take away the battery, live careful on the connectors every bit its straight connected to the mainboard so you lot demand to disputation it upwards abit earlier sliding out.

How it looks later on removing the battery.

Now to take away the HDD, you lot demand to offset disconnect the ribbon cable as well as then solely take away the iv screws.

This is how it looks similar later on removing the HDD.

Before removing the mainboard, you lot volition demand to offset disconnect all those ribbon cables (as shown below).

Now its fourth dimension to take away the screws, place as exhibit below. Take depository fiscal establishment annotation that there's CMOS battery attached to the mainboard as well as demand a petty chip of prying on the battery every bit its glued to the case.

After removing the mainboard, this is how it looks like.

This is the mainboard's view.

Now flip it over, you lot right away able to meet the RAM's slots. There are ii DIMMs available.

Upon checking the RAM's specification, its a DDR4-2400 type. Now I induce got compared it amongst HP's PartSurfer website (just for double confirmation). It shows SPS-MEM 4GB 2133MHz 1.2v DDR4 SHARED (P/N : 820569-005).

Sadly upon checking amongst Kingston & Transcend website, they no longer supports or manufacturer RAM upgrade for this model. Hence I volition demand to await for an virtually similar specifications but un-tested for this notebook so I'm also non certain of the stability of it.

I've yet to depository fiscal establishment agree amongst HP for the parts availability but I'm doubtful they volition induce got it too. Its kinda sucks for this model to induce got ii DIMMs slots yet nosotros demand to take away virtually everything only for a RAM upgrade.

I nonetheless similar those models where its only every bit uncomplicated every bit removing business office of the bottom embrace to reveal on the RAM or HDD parts. Well I intend those days are gone right away for sure.

!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
