I am currently working on a HP Mini 110-4116sa and have absolutely no idea how to get into the guts to change a RAM module. I have opened literally hundreds of laptops in the past and a few earlier models of HP Mini but this is getting beyond a joke, I've been looking for almost an hour online and even Google/YouTube/ifixit can't come up with anything. There is no screws on the back, nothing under the rubber housings, nothing under the battery (I know some earlier models of HP had eject buttons to remove the back plate), no way to get under the keyboard that I can see. There is absolutely nothing to work with, please tell me someone here can save me? :)

There might be clips holding the keyboard down, and there might be screws under that. There was on my netbook.

Can't seem to see anything holding the keyboard down, just grabbing some pictures from my phone I'll upload them in a couple of minutes. Thanks.

I got it! The battery lever has to be pulled as far left as possible then the back plate slips forward and up. Apologies guys but also thank you very much for the speedy responses. Mondays!
