Einleitung

The hard drive is one of the more crucial components on a computer. There are a variety of different reasons one would want to replace a hard drive including upgrading the size and replacing a malfunctioning component. You should read through the entire guide before performing the repair and should have all necessary tools readily available. You should also find a safe location to store the various screws taken out of the computer to ensure that they do not get mixed up or lost.

    • Start by removing the battery found on the back of the device.

    • The battery must be removed in order to ensure the device does not have power! Make sure you do not skip this step!

    • Using a plastic opening tool or spudger move the keyboard out of position.

    • There is a thin cable on the backside of the keyboard. Make sure when you move the keyboard out of position you do so slowly to prevent damage to this cable.

    • If you use a spudger it is recommended that you use a plastic spudger to reduce the chance of damaging any internal parts.

    • Using a spudger gently push the tab on the port forward then pull out the cable.

    • Be careful to do so as gently as possible. You do not want to damage the port.

    please don’t disconnect the keyboard for this job and even for HDD replacement..

    it’s useless and you will complicate the life to yourself.

    • Unscrew seven 1.2 mm Phillips #1 screws from the back of the device

    This step is not necessary. The screws do not have to be removed for RAM replacement.

    • Unscrew eight more 1.2 mm Phillips #1 screws from the front of the computer.

    Here too many screws are removed. Only the 4 denoted with a circled "1" have to be removed.

It is not at all necessary to remove all those screws! Only the 4 marked DOOR under the keyboard are required to pop off the back cover and access the HDD.
