In this guide we will show you how to properly remove and replace the hard drive in your Asus F555LA-AB31 laptop..

Hard drive replacements are needed when old drives begin to die or fail altogether. You’ll notice a hard drive beginning to fail when your laptop crashes during booting, or when it takes a lot longer for a file to open. You may also be replacing the hard drive with one that has increased storage. In either case, you’ll want to follow our instructions.

It is recommended that you know how to operate a screwdriver to easily open up the laptop as well as have an anti-static wristband to prevent damage to the internals of your laptop from any built up static charges.

Boo, 10 screws in first step are not all the same length, 4 screws in third step are not correctly indicated in the image (nor are they all in view in said image). Finally, there’s a hard drive bracket that is not included in the guide which is important to note how it is positioned to reinstall correctly.
