Product: Pavilion 14-n204sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I need to get the top cover off my Pavilion 14-n204sa to replace the HDD.

Hp instructions show removal process which includes removal of rear corner plates but there are none on thos model.

All other screws undo ok but the top cover is still being held down  by the rear corners.

Under the rubber feet there is no screw only the embedded nut where presumably a screw goes into from the top.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for pointing me in the right place Huffer. Disc replaced

Just need to decide whether to do a factory reset or a minimised image recovery.

 

Thanks again

Personally I always favor a clean reinstall of bare metal Windows and then build it up as I like with drivers, apps, etc.
