HP laptops are bottom-of-the-barrel trash and have been for at least 15 years at this point. HP will purposely hide screws underneath rubber skid pads and stickers, requiring you, the owner of said laptop, to damage your own laptop in order to open it up. And you will have to open it up, because it is a piece of shit and it will break. But good luck fixing it, because they won't even be able to sell you the parts you need, presumably because they're sourced from whatever Chinese factory is the cheapest at any given time. Fuck HP and fuck HP laptops especially.
