I want to upgrade my Laptops ram, I have the ram and I know its compatible so that doesn't too much. I have all the screws unscrewed, but I'm clueless on what to use for prying open the case, as my credit card is too thick to use. What can I use?
Specs:
i5 - 12450H
NVIDIA 3050 4GB
IPS LED 15.6" HD 1080p 144Hz
Samsung NVMe 512GB SSD

Chapter 4, page 23 of the service manual gives a brief list of tools needed.
Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)
You need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
● Tweezers
● Nonconductive, nonmarking pry tool
● Magnetic Phillips P1 screwdriver
I suggest you invest in a budget-priced notebook pry tool kit, so you have more options to choose from to carefully remove the bottom cover.
