Introduction
If you are planning on replacing any of the internal components of your HP 17-x061nr laptop then you will need to remove the back. This particular laptop is built with a solid back cover that the keyboard and internal components are seated into. There are a lot of screws that hold the laptop together including 2 that are hidden under the rubber footrests. Pay careful attention to this guide and you will have your laptop disassembled and be able to replace any internal components easily.
What you need

With the laptop upside down, remove the battery by hand and the twelve 7.0 mm screws that are holding the back case to the front. Use a JIS #0 screwdriver to remove the screws.

I have a 17-x051nr but the steps are exactly the same. Thank you! (I never like peeling off the bottom feet unless I know for sure there’s a screw under there)
Thank you! Also worked for HP-14AN013NA
