How to remove bottom cover on HP 250 G5

[S1ngler]

Hello to all,

I want to upgrade RAM on my HP 250 G5 laptop. Its warranty expired and I want to do it by myself. I read the Maintenance and Service Guide for this laptop but could'nt figure out how to remove bottom cover. Precisely could I do it just by hand - fingers or I must use some special tool - spudger or something else to remove bootom cover after I unscrew those 12 screws. And also second thing which Philips screwdriver (P0 or P1) to use to unscrew those Phillips PM2.5×8.0 screws ?

Best regards!

12 screws ? Well, please use the following steps

• Remove the two rubber bumpers from rear of the bottom of the computer.
• Remove the 11 Phillips PM2.5×8.0 screws that secure the bottom cover to the computer.
• Start prying at the front of the computer and work around to the back to separate the bottom cover from computer
• Remove the bottom cover.

Probably you need a prying tool which is similar to one of the following tools

Yes 12 screws on the bottom cover, 11 screws plus 1 screw for DVD which is also on that cover.

 And what about which Philips screwdriver (P0 or P1) to use to unscrew those Phillips PM2.5×8.0 screws ?

I know the question is maybe little weird but in Maintenance and Service Guide from which you've posted the steps for removing bottom cover nowhere doesn't say which Philips screwdriver  to use to unscrew those Phillips PM2.5×8.0 screws and  I don't want to damage the screws with inadequate screwdriver.
