Introduction

An I/O board is the connector between the laptop and external devices. If you are having trouble plugging in USBs on the left side of the laptop or USBs are not connecting to the laptop from the left, it may be a problem with your I/O board and/or I/O board cable. Use this guide to replace the I/O board and cable of your HP-15dy2024nr.

Tools

Step 1

Use a spudger to peel one corner of each of the rubber feet from the bottom of the laptop.
Gently peel the feet from the laptop using the spudger revealing the screws underneath.
If the rubber foot peels away but leaves adhesive behind you must peel the adhesive away before removing the screws.

Step 2

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove:
Two 2.5mm x 6mm screws
Six 2mm x 6mm screws
Be sure to keep different screw sizes separated.

Step 3

Insert an iFixit opening tool into the seam between the keyboard area and bottom cover.
Using another iFixit opening tool, slide along the seam to unhook the clips.
There are clips all the way around the seam. You may hear a popping sound as the clips come loose. This step may require some force to separate the back cover from the laptop.
When the front of the laptop is open, you can use your finger to hold a corner open then slide an iFixit opening tool along the seam toward the back corner.
After the clips have been released, flip the laptop over and lift the cover.
