Remove Replace HP Pavilion All-In-One Desktop Hard Drive

[@codamyer]

Just to add a caution when opening this unit. Don't use any tools trying to pry it open on the sides. That's were the plastic screen is and it will crack when any pressure is placed on it. The screens crack very easily and you wont find a replacement one for sale. I learned this the hard way a year ago! Pry it open with your fingers carefully while holding the edges and the stand metal base. Push on the metal stand to help open it. The 27 inch screen all in ones are a tough one! Did a 2nd one of these. Try using a plastic credit card on the sides to loosen up. Really helps opening these.

Are you sure there’s no replacements? Just made this mistake a bit ago and wish I saw this comment earlier

Thank you, my computer just fell and I was hungry so I can finally eat my lunch

[@francescopennabaum8695]

Excellent job. You couldn't have made it any easier.

[@TechTalkvideo]

Thanks for the kind feedback.

The hinge can go back from the stand and stop the back going back on, you just need to insert a screwdriver into the stand hinge and turn it a little forward

Can anyone tell me if the connector on the optical drive is also a standard SATA connection? Thanks in advance!

I have not been able to factory reset so I'm going to get a new harddrive and I'm excited to get my computer back

[@ricardolizano8851]

It can be replaced with a 2.5 SSD?

[@gfgarner1301]

Should be able to with a 2.5 to a 5.25 adapter cradle.

Do you have to download windows 10 again after you replace the hard drive?

[@dreberry5275]

Hi there, once I remove it, can I replace with a 4T one?

[@ricoisw]

Yup

👍

[@michaelm982]

I would love to see how you put the BACK back on. LOL

[@mrsdouglas1973]

This would have been useful but my pavilion doesn't look like this

We have a hp all in one computer that has quit working... Where is the memory drive located at? Because we have a whole bunch of files on there which were trying to keep. Running low on money, got a new laptop coming in the mail and just trying to save all that information on the hp computer.
