Product: HP notbook 15-RO85ND
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit)

My daughter has a HP Notebook 15-RO85ND, and a few days ago the hard drive went on strike. I hear a ticking sound, I suppose the head is moving up and down and can't deside where to find track zero.

 

So I would like to replace the hard drive with a SSD of 500 Gbyte.

 

Searched the internet for instruction, found them for HP notebook 15, but it is not the same type.

 

Took all the screws out from the bottom (11). Removed the cd/dvd drive, and made the top cover loose from the rest.

 

But now I am stuck, I cannot remove the bottom, because it is connected to the top somewhere in the middle, and I don't want to force and break things.

 

Are ther any instructions for this type of notebook?

 

Thanks in advance
