In reply to Josalynn Smith. This laptop doesn't have regular 2.5" hard drive. It has NVMe SSD. I explained how to remove it in the post.

Where is the hard drive on this computer I’m getting a hard drive error it says it’s failing. I opened it up to see about replacing and it’s no where to be seen. To me anyway. Appreciate the help thank you.

Hello Sir,Â I do have the HP 15-dw3073nx; it came with nvme pcie gen3 WD blue. The question is: can I install nvme-pcie-gen4? It will perform as Gen4 or Gen3? Thanks for your amazing job.

In reply to Dominique Marcelle. Here's what you cat try. 1. Try removing RAM modules one by one and try turning it on with just one RAM module installed. It's possible one of them failed. 2. Disconnect the display cable from the motherboard. After that test the laptop with an external monitor connected to HDMI port. If external monitor works, it's possible the laptop screen failed.

Hi, so I’m not sure if I should jus toss the laptop at this point but I’m hoping to save the child. After updating the screen just turned black so naturally I did a force shutdown hoping it was an error. Since then the laptop has not turned on at all. Another weird thing is that the led the shows it’s on will be on yet the fan will start and stop after 2-5 seconds and the screen is still dark.

In reply to IML Tech. You've been generous with your replies. One more question. The screw holder for the lower left screw (see your 4th pic above) is broken off. I know it's not repairable, but is that base replaceable so that I can secure it better?

In reply to Bob Boyd. You can tell me the model number, for example HP 15-dw1081wm. I'll do some research. Sorry, I don't work on this site actively anymore and do not check comments every day. So it might take a while for me to respond. By the way, take a closer look inside the laptop. The 2.5" drive connector is not located on the motherboard, it's located on a separate board. Look at the last picture in this guide. The board with the SATA connector located in the lower left corner of the laptop.
