HP 4540s Complete Teardown & Upgrade (SSD, RAM, CPU, Wi-Fi Card, Screen)

I like to talk; A LOT. Here are timestamps to skip to various parts of the video.
While this is 'technically' not a complete teardown, you will see how to upgrade anything that can be upgraded in this video.

If you are installing a new screen, you need to watch from the beginning. All of the components (save for the screen) are removed here too. So if you unsure about removing something, start here as well. Otherwise, skip to the later timestamps for the new parts.
