HP Pavilion x360 14-dw RAM Replacement

Fully shut down your laptop and unplug all cables.

Flip your laptop over so the rubber feet are facing up.

Use an opening pick to peel up an end of the front rubber foot until you can grip it with your fingers.

Peel up the end of the foot with your fingers just until the hidden screw underneath is exposed—you don't need to fully remove the foot.

Peel up the other ends of the feet to expose the three remaining screws.

Press down firmly on the ends of the feet to secure them into their recesses.

If the foot adhesive doesn't remain tacky enough to readhere, you can use double-sided tape such as Tesa Tape.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five screws securing the back cover:

Four larger 6.7 mm-long black screws

One smaller 2.9 mm-long silver screw

Insert the flat side of an opening pick into the seam between the top right corner of the back cover and the frame.

Pry up to release the clips securing the back cover.

Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap you just created.

Slide the spudger down to the bottom right corner to release the clips on the right edge.

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up around the edges of the metal shield covering the sticks of RAM.

Remove the metal shield.

Your laptop has two memory slots, each with a pair of metal arms that secure a stick of RAM.

Simultaneously push out the metal arms on each side of a stick of RAM until they disengage and the stick pops up at a slight angle.

Pull the stick of RAM out of its socket to remove it.

Repeat for a second stick of RAM.
