Pavilion 15-cx0017nl
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I have a Pavilion 15-cx0017nl and i need to know if I can going to remove the bottom panel of the pc without voiding the warranty to make a better clean of the fans using a can of compressed air. Can I remove the bottom panel of the pc without voiding the warranty?

I would also be interested to know one more thing: I currently have 8GB of ram (2x4GB) and I would be tempted to upgrade and change the ram to 16GB (2x8GB). Can I upgrade without violating the warranty or do I have to wait for it to expire?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Q1.  Can I remove the bottom panel of the pc without voiding the warranty?

A1. No one can answer this question. I always say Warranty is a grey/gray area. If nothing went wrong then no problem otherwise you may have to prove that was not your fault. Hope this makes sense.

 

Q2. Upgrade RAM:  

A2. Its specs
