HP Spectre 13tv-000 Partial Disassembly

Remove the top and bottom rubber pads (the middle one can stay on)

Remove the 5 screws in the locations shown

Use a combination of opening picks, spudgers, jimmy, etc. to pry up the several plastic tabs, working your way around the case. I found the easiest place to start was near the trackpad.

This is the inside of the back cover, tabs are in the locations shown

Many things are now accessible, including the battery, SSD, and Wi-Fi card

Detach all the accessible ribbon cables, and unscrew the 6 small and 4 really small screws holding the battery in place (locations shown)

The cables running along the left and right sides of the battery will need to be pulled out of the clips holding them in place

NOTE: The battery does not need to be removed to access the SSD or Wi-Fi card

There is a tab under the battery ribbon cable that helps in removing the battery. It is attached to a strip of adhesive under the battery.

Pull the tab up away from the laptop to lift the battery. You will have to pull pretty hard, but don't pull quickly. Slowly increase the force until the battery becomes easy to remove.

You can also lift the battery on the backside between the tab and the ribbon cable

The SSD can be accessed by removing this screw

Again, the battery does not need to be removed to access this screw

Detach the rest of the ribbon cables from the motherboard

It may be easiest to detach both sides of the ribbon cable to the Wi-Fi card

Unscrew the three screws holding the motherboard in place, and lift up and toward you (the bottom of the picture) to pull it out

The touchpad is also accessible before or after removing the motherboard via three screws

The fans are accessible via two screws each

The heatpipes can be removed via three screws

To remove the keyboard, separate the black plastic from the metal using a spudger

The entirety of the black plastic will need to be removed, and there are many screws underneath
