HP Stream 11-d020nr Lower Case Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

5 - 10 minutes

Introduction

Use this guide to remove the lower case of the HP Stream 11-d020nr. This should take you about 5-10 minutes. Use caution when taking the cover off of the laptop. The process requires a significant amount of force, and it can be easy to damage the internal components.

Tools

Step 1

Before disassembly, unplug and power off the Stream 11.
Pry off the two elliptical rubber inserts (one in each corner).
Pry off the two circular rubber inserts below the removed elliptical inserts (one in each corner).

Step 2

Remove the eleven 5.6 mm Phillips #00 screws.

Step 3

Turn the computer upright and lift the screen.
Carefully use a spudger to pry the plastic keyboard cover from the base.
When using the metal spudger, be careful not to press into the components underneath the keyboard cover. If possible, use a standard spudger or plastic opening tool to remove the keyboard cover.
Work the spudger around the cover to release the clips attaching the cover to the base.
Be patient when removing the cover, as there are many clips and it may take some time.

Step 4

Disconnect the cable connecting the ClickPad to the base.
Remove the plastic keyboard cover.
The cover is attached to the ClickPad by a cable. Be careful not to lift the cover too far so you do not damage this cable.

The character who made this tutorial shows in a couple of these pictures he/she destroyed the keyboard/top bezel. The keyboard is NOT meant to be detached from the mouse bezel, he/she popped every single chassis mounted plastic rivet that keeps every keyboard key centered within their hole in the bezel. In othe rwords mounting that prevents key malfunction. I haven't seen a keyboard detachable bezel in laptop design since the late 2000s.
