Probook 450 G7
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there !

 

I am using HP Probook 450 G7. and I want upgrade SSD, RAM.

 

But, I can't find a correct size driver for open bottom cover.

 

I have checked manual pdf and I found P1 philips driver, but I can't search what is a P1 philips driver.

 

could you tell me some information about it ?

 

I already have 2.5 + type screw driver but, It does not fit with screw of bottom cover and it will grind the screws. ( I really hate grinded screws)

 

please, teach me what is a P1 philips driver.

To answer your question, the Phillips #1 screw is the most commonly used fastener in the internals of "larger" electronics like home theater hardware, game consoles, laptops, PCs, and server racks. This particular size of Phillips screwdriver blade is also known as Phillips 1, PH 1, and PH #1.

 

We have no way of knowing where in Korea you can get such a screwdriver, so you would have to search locally or online for a store that sells that.

Thanks for the reply, guys !

 

I have thought that "Philips P1" is P1 screwdriver made by Philips. but that was not !
Philips = Screw driver, because person Philips made a + shape screw driver.
