1. Turn off you HP Pavilion dv6 notebook. Unplug the power cable and disconnect any external devices plugged into the notebook. Lift up the notebook and place it upside-down on a flat surface with the battery next to you.
2. Push the battery-release latch above the left side of the battery to the right to disengage it from the notebook. Remove the battery. Remove the three screws along the bottom of the battery bay using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
3. Loosen but do not remove the four screws on the outer edge of the base cover above the left side of the battery bay. Remove the cover.
4. Disconnect the hard drive cable extending from the left side of the hard drive, located in the upper-left corner of the bay, from the notebook. Slide the hard drive bracket to the left edge of the hard drive bay. Lift and remove the bracket.
5. Remove the screw below the lower-right side of the hard drive bay, and remove the screw in the lower-right corner of the base cover bay. Grab the optical drive on the upper-right edge of the laptop and pull it out of the HP Pavilion dv6 notebook.
6. Lift the HP Pavilion dv6 notebook and set it down right-side up. Open the display.
