    • Make sure the device is powered off and the kick stand is retracted.

    • The HP Spectre should be placed on a flat surface with the keyboard detached.

    • To remove the screen, there is an entire system of clips which need to be undone as well as 4 Phillips M1.5x2.7 screws.

    • The screws should be removed using a Phillips #000 screwdriver. There is a sticker where the laptop attaches to the keyboard.

    • Heat the sticker (if needed) and use fine point tweezers to grip the sticker and remove it.

    Could you please some image of the screws and the tool you used?

    • Use the plastic opening tools or insert a spudger to begin unclipping the system.

    • Pry the screen off once all the clips have been unclipped.

    • The screen may shatter if not already shattered (beware of flying glass).

    • This screen will break. There is double tape underneath the frame, which is not listed in here.

    • Remove the connecting cable of the screen and battery. Use a spudger to reveal the adhesive strip and carefully peel it off.

    • Insert a spudger to the other end and release the ZIF connectors. Detach the cable.

    • While a metal spudger is pictured, use a black nylon spudger instead because it is ESD safe.

    • The HP Spectre x2 has Two Speakers at the top of the laptop on either end.

    • Unscrew the speaker assemblies.

    • Each speaker has two PM2.0×3.4 screws securing the speakers as shown. Use a Phillips #0 to unscrew all four screws

    • Each speaker is connected to the motherboard by a cable.

    • Remove this cable by gently working the connector out of the socket on the motherboard. Be careful not to damage the socket on the motherboard.

  9. HWtZVDdMRKLiOPmp

    • Both speakers should now freely come out of the laptop.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
