Introduction
Use this guide to take off the back cover of the HP 15-da0002dx laptop. The back cover of a laptop is taken off in order to expose the components inside of a computer to replace or clean them.
Before using this guide, power off the computer and wait for the components to cool. Working over a non-carpeted surface will reduce the risk of ESD damage (electrostatic discharge). A non-carpeted surface should not be able to conduct electricity and is connected to a grounded surface. Another way to reduce the risk of ESD damage is by using a plastic tool when removing the battery as plastic does not conduct electricity.

Your instructions worked perfectly. My machine had a 1 TB sata drive 5400 rpm and I replaced it with a Kingston ssd and cloned it prior to installing. Works perfectly.
The rubber feet on the computer cracked but was able to stick them back on. May need to be glued if they come off. Thank You, Irwin
