  1. I’m not able to Remove the rubber cap with a screwdriver. could you please help me? perhaps a video on youtube…

  2. my lap when i press the power button the caps lock starts to flash an the lap didn’t start i disassembled it totally so what i can do next ????

  3. This only shows the 11-inch model of the x360 laptops. The 13-inch and 15-inch have a different hinge design. This also results in a totally different dissassembly guide because with those models, the bottom doesn’t come off like in the 11-inch models – it is the keyboard side that comes off as the bottom stays put (it is all one piece on the bottom, and everything “bolts” to it).

    Please make a guide for the 13 and 15 inch models!!

  4. Hi David

    thanks for the guide. I would like to know if HP Pavilion 13 x360 S150SA model would allow a normal Drive to be fitted inside . it has by default an 128GB m.2 card which makes me believe it still has a empty slot for a 2.5 ” drive (hdd/SSD).

    thanks

  6. I was unable to install my wireless network after I formatted my hp laptops 13 x360, my Bluetooth is installed but cannot detect any Bluetooth device. Please kindly assists.

      1. I have tried to install it, only Bluetooth can b installed but the network was not installed. when i opened it, I saw the wireless card was Qualcomm and the board is Intel which I am suggesting might be incompatible. pls can this be the problem?

  7. hey, would i be able to replace the 1.60GHz processor in my x360 convertible with maybe a 3.1 or 3.3 GHz processor without the laptop having a meltdown?

    1. Mine has a 1T, so you should have no problem and if you upgrade your RAM to 8Gb and your processor to 3.1 or 3.3 GHz, you should be rockin.

  8. I recently bought HP Pavilion x360 online. All seems fine except one thing. After plugging in the charging pin, the pin is kind of loose, which means it has little free play sideways. I just want to know if it is OK or some issue inside.

  9. Mine is HP Pavilion 11×360 PC ,my touch screen rubber packing is melting.
    Where can I get the replacement part???Help me.
