Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Back Cover
  • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to undo the five screws. The top three screws are 10 mm and the two side screws are 7 mm.
  • Unscrew the bottom three screws using the same screwdriver.
  • The bottom Phillips #1 screws don’t remove from the back plate, but do need to be unscrewed.
  • Some models have a slightly different screw configuration, shown in the second photo.

Step 2

  • Turn computer so that the hinged side is facing up.
  • Use the plastic opening tool to pry open the back plate.
  • Drag the plastic opening tool along the edge from left to right and use a second opening tool to pry open the top right corner.
  • Repeat the 3rd step for the other side.
  • Repeat on Left and Right sides of the system. There are two points in the middle (on the left and right sides of the center screw) that will release with slight lifting pressure.
  • You should be able to hear a pop when prying open the corners.

Just FYI for anyone reading this, the pictures appear to be from an Elitebook 850 G5, not the 840. This is important because the two screws they show in the middle on either side are NOT present on the Elitebook 840 G5.

ACHTUNG ZERSTÖRUNGSGEFAHR - Die Beschreibung ist Fehlerhaf!!!

Beim 840 g5 gibt es in den beiden „oberen ecken“ 2 versenkte Schrauben die UNBEDINGT gelöst werden müssen - tut man das nicht kann man den Boden NICHT ZERSTÖRUNGSFREI abheben!!!

Außerdem gibt es die beiden „mittleren äußern“ Schrauben beim 840 g5 NICHT

Zusatz: Alle Schrauben müssen nur gelöst, nicht aber entfernt werden.

Bei dem in dieser Anleitung beschrieben Gerät handelt es sich offensichtlich um ein 850 g5…
