Einleitung

This guide will show you how to replace the hard drive in your Acer Aspire 5740-5780. A hard drive stores documents, applications, and the operating system for your laptop.

Indications that your hard drive is failing may include continuous crashes, error messages, or your laptop failing to turn on at all.

Before replacing your hard drive, make sure to back up all of the data stored on it so you don’t lose your documents or applications. Be sure to unplug your laptop from a power source and turn it off completely before beginning the replacement process.

    • Put grounding strap on one of your wrists and attach the other end to a large metal object (recommended method).

    • If you don't have a grounding strap an alternative approach is to touch a metal object that is either large or connected to the earth. Then avoid doing things that would accumulate static electricity on your body.

    • Touching the internals of your device while you aren't grounded could destroy your laptop.
