Removing and Replacing Parts | HP EliteBook 840 G8 Notebook PC | HP Support

Having the keyboard built into the top cover instead of it being a separate piece was the dumbest decision ever.

Agreed. For a part with so many moving pieces that can fail so regularly, it's absurd it's not replaceable. I have multiple laptops out of warranty that have one or two failed keys and are thus garbage.

I still don't understand why these elite models don't have a double m2 connection.

Keyboard?

Its worth mentioning whenever switching Memory Modules. You will get a black screen with full speed fans for a minutes when first starting up again. I panicked and thought I had bricked my laptop.

[@GLH8]

@@ArthurMorgan9 wait longer, make sure the modules are compatible or try some others

[@ArthurMorgan9]

Lets make a decent laptop with a solid set of chips and then fix the intel iris at the bios to 512 mb of ram dedication, give it the smallest amounts of hard drive, ram, and then totally overlook that with minor tweeking your frame IS a heatsink. And you have the HP 840 G8. Now will you please take your work seriously and release the hostage that is my bios setting to reflect modern standard. Mobile video chips can ship with 16GB of DDR6 can I get 16Gb to be the max setting on this unit? Or will the whole thing burst into flames?

Ok but like what if you have the x55 wwan module and you got 2 antenna wires but 4 places to connect them. Is that WWAN card even one on the list of approved units?

[@HPSupport]

Hi there, thanks for contacting HP Global Social Media Support! I understand that you need to know about installing Wireless Wan Module. I will do my best to assist you. Please refer page number 38 of the user manual to know about removing WWAN module: hp.care/6053YNQxH Regards, HP Support

[@benmiller200]

The answer turns out was. Oh just use any FR1 capable 5g antenna the same as the wifi card because FR2 towers and the antennas to match only exist in labs and fantasy novels about the future.

​@HPSupport wait...did you seriously up vote your own feedback. Do NOT pat yourself on the back for this job.
