How to disassemble HP 15-g090no

[Miskaroni]

 I was trying to open up the Laptop, as I am trying to gain access to the Hard Drive. I was prying it open, and it was going well otherwise, but then it just got stuck and would not open on one part, around the power on/off button. All screws were removed. I was trying to pry it open, and after that, the power button wiring apparently broke and the laptop can't now be powered on. That is not the main problem, as my main problem still is, how do I open the thing?? No screws, no anything, it just isn't opening up. It is stuck exactly in between the USB port and the "holes". (On the left side of the laptop) I can probably fix the power button myself, but I just right now need to open it up. There is also NO guides AT ALL for this laptop anywhere. I'm also asking, why did HP have to get rid of the easy-to-access style they had before? Before you had to take 3 screws off to access the HDD... Because of these problems I will be never buying another HP, as the hard drives seem to always blow up as well.

Oh also there is another problem with the laptop, updating drivers will crash everything and I have to get everything back from a backup, and also the same happens when trying to update to Windows 10.

Phew. You are a hero. Thanks a lot mate. Now... do you know what could be wrong with the power button? Looking at it now... I'm not so sure what's wrong.

Sure. Here's 4 (hope they work)

Plugging in the power cord will light up a light. When I pressed the power button a few times, the power light turned off everytime. Now it doesn't seem to do that though, not sure what that means.
