BEFORE REMOVING TOP CASE: There are screws under the keyboard and one silver screw under the battery that have to be removed. This guide forgot to mention that.

Hello.

 Do you know how to expand the HDD memory of this same model 14-3452 ??;  I have a motherboard similar to the one in this guide and it does not have the connector for the hard disk integrated into it.

 I will greatly appreciate your help and response.
