Hp Pavilion 15- AU038CA
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi experts,

Hp pavilions contain a screw under the rubber strip on the base enclosure. In order for one to upgrade the internal components of the laptop, the rubber strip must be removed to access the screw. How do i remove the rubber strip carefully, and when returned , does it still contain its adhesive or I would have to apply an adhesive?
