Most components that need to be replaced are inside the base of the laptop. The computer will need to be disassembled in order to reach the inner components. You will remove the battery before delving into the innards of your computer. If you just came here for a battery guide, simply follow to step two and then reassemble!

Flip the computer over so that the bottom cover is facing you.

Slide the two locks to the "unlock" position and remove the battery.

Remove the two 8mm screws underneath with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Plastic feet are actually the feet bezels. They snap out

Remove the sixteen 8mm screws that hold the bottom cover with a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
There are 2 under the rear foot plastic covers that are not mentioned to remove, they snap out

Pull the Optical Drive out.
How do I pull the optical drive out if the computer is off?
-
-
-
Remove the 3mm screws that were hidden under the Optical Drive with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
Any other way to remove these screws? Phillips #00 wasn't working for
I don’t see any screws here
These screws are insanely tight for some reason. Only a good sharp #0 will work, otherwise you could notch the side and tap it loose CCW with a punch.
Unable to open these screws as they seem to be worn out… any other method would be helpful
These screws do not budge! My 0 screwdriver not working. How do we remove them?

-
Flip the computer back over.
-
Use a plastic opening tool to release the clips holding the keyboard section in place.
What can I use if I don’t have a plastic opening tool?

-
-
Close the lid and pull the screen and keyboard section up and away from the disconnected bottom cover.
Note that before you remove the bottom cover, there are three plastic snaps on the back of the PC where the battery would go. These have to be detached before the entire bottom cover can be freed from the top panel.
I thought there was something they missed. Mine finally seperated with a loud snap.Thought I broke something but it looks ok. These parts are pretty tough.
The explanations are very good detailed and pictures help to understand it, however, if all the process is described in a video would be a lot better for sure.
This also works on the HP Pavilion ab130na.
