Thank you for the information.

I'm trying to open up the laptop now. There are 4 screws on the back, but once they are removed, the back still can't be opened. Are there more screws hidden under the rubber strips? I removed the bottom strip, but there are 4 circles that look like screws but are not. What other screws are there?

@Chen-song,

 

That is an excellent question.

 

Please take a look at this YouTube tutorial, which I hope is applicable to your laptop as well: (1041) How To Install & Upgrade RAM Memory In HP Red Laptop - Step By Step Tutorial - YouTube.
