At the bottom of this article is the service and maintenance manual for the HP 840 G8 along with most of the still graphics we used in the video.

We also found that the HP 840 G8 service manual was unavailable on the HP websites so we searched the globe and finally found a copy you can download from us HERE.

What is the difference between: HP Elitebook 840 Aero G8 & HP Elitebook 840 G8?

The Aero is a bit more expensive but a bit lighter: 2.5 pounds versus 2.92, since it made of magnesium rather than aluminum construction.

    Dell: F2 or F12
    HP: ESC or F10
    Lenovo: F2 or Fn + F2
    Lenovo (Desktops): F1

    MSI: DEL for motherboards and PCs
    Microsoft Surface Tablets: Press and hold volume up button.
    Origin PC: F2
