Introduction
In order to replace any faulty or outdated component (such as the battery, hard drive, CD drive, RAM, or screen), you will need to open your HP Pavilion 15-cd040wm by disassembling its back cover.
Before beginning, make sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect it from any external power source.
What you need
-
-
The first step is to remove the four rubber non-slip pads on the bottom of the laptop to expose screws hidden underneath them. Peel off each tab with your fingers.

-
-
-
Using the iFixit opening tool, carefully pry along the sides of the back cover.
-
After all of the edges of the back cover have been freed, use your opening tool to carefully unclip the tabs holding the back cover to the CD drive.
-
After everything is unclipped, you can safely remove the back cover from the rest of the device.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I’m trying to remove my backing and it seems to have a lip that goes over the edge, so I’m having a hard time getting it apart. Any suggestions?
Is this the same process for the HP Pavilion 15-cc055od? Do I pull out the disk drive as well? How would I remove the hard drive?
