Awesome tip about the release buttons. Once I got it off I noted the eject latch only runs halfway down the device and the rubber feet are actually attached to the frame not the bottom cover which just has holes for them to protrude through.

I wanted to get the bottom off in order to verify the AC adapter Voltage, Amperage and Polarity (which I think ios the same for the whole 210 line.

I guess I’ll upgrade to an SSD and increase the RAM while it’s open..

Power specs for my model: HP Mini 210 1075CA: 19.5Vdc, 2.05A, with polarity being ++''inside & - -''outside .
