Introduction
Pretty bad pictures, taken on my cheap webcam, sorry!
If you have the same device and are willing to take better photos that'd be great.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reason for making this: Saw no page for the HP 2540p, so I am posting it here. Also didn't see many YouTube videos showing this.
Keep in mind, that this is my first "contribution."
What you need
-
-
Power off the computer if you have it on, and flip it over.
-
Pull both things on the side of the battery.
-
While still pulling both of them back, take out the battery, it should just slip out.
-
-
-
-
While Still on the back, look for a plastic cover that says "HP 3D DriveGuard." (AKA. the longest cover)
-
Unscrew it, there are 3 Philips screws on it.
-
Personally, I do not have a drive in it right now, but you will need a 1.8-inch drive to fit it into the laptop. Plug the SATA Drive into the connector.
-
For the ram pull the two gray things a bit and then take out or put in the ram at an angle.
-
Put the cover back on and screw it in, then you can put the battery back in as well.
