I have a D830. Will this work as a ReadyBoost?
I have a HP Pavillion DV6T-7000 Ivy Bridge laptop. Supposedly, this laptop can take an mSATA card under the keyboard panel. I accidentally pressed two new extrusion bumps into the top of my laptop trim panel by putting the wrong length screw back into the wrong holes tonight. I wish someone would put together a video showing how to get this thing apart properly without bending or damaging the thin aluminum trim panel further.
#1 ReadyBoost.. haha. No really, you don't need that. This IS your primary hard drive and no USB flash drive is going to further the performance on top of that.
#2 Contact HP, Youtube it, or look for PDF assembly documents -though you really didn't say why you need them.
#2 Once you are done you will know how to do it and YOU can put together a video.
zilym, go to http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03216834.pdf . If you look over the exploded views, and look over the area that you want to take apart, you should have no problems fixing it yourself.
Thank you drmichiokaku, that helps a lot. Now I can see that I needed to pop the keyboard out first by pushing on it from within the optical drive area. There are still screws underneath the keyboard that hold down the top panel. I might be able to get it off successfully now.
If putting the screws back where they belong is a problem, lay out a piece of corrugated cardboard and as you take screws out, push the screws into the cardboard in a spot corresponding to their placement in the laptop so you don't mix them up, though the service manual usually shows which length go where too.
