Money is tight this year I’m just trying to get her through the next six months

From my understanding most laptops unlike the towers of the desktop pc are made not  to be upgradable. I personally have not been around a laptop long enough to know  a whole lot on the matter.

@Chris23231 

I need to be frank about this situation -- as the Service Manual for your model states clearly that only Authorized Service Providers are to access the internals.  While of course, this can not prevent you from prying it apart and messing around with the internals, what this means is that NONE of the components are designed to be replaced by the consumer.

 

Not only will you violate the warranty by by prying it open, you will almost certainly damage something in the process.

 

These newer laptops are not designed to have the owners replace any of the parts.
