Fujitsu LIFEBOOK P7010D Hard Drive Replacement

Place the laptop upside down on a table.

Locate the battery (the grey block). Find the two tabs on one end of the battery near the side of the laptop.

Using your fingers, press both tabs down at once until they are fully depressed.

While holding the tabs down, slowly pivot the battery up.

The battery is now free and safe to pull out.

Push the tab down as far as possible using your finger or plastic opening tool to unlock the disc drive.

While still holding the tab down, use your other hand to pull out the disc drive straight out of its place.

On the bottom of the laptop, find the bottom-plate screw holes. They are located near the disc drive. Parallel to them is a 2.4mm screw.

After locating the 2.4mm screw, use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to unscrew.

Flip the laptop over and open it facing you.

Use a spudger to lift the bottom black cover on both sides.

Once the black cover is lifted, flip it and set it on the keyboard.

Locate the hardware disc on the right side and gently lift it out. Place it on the side of the laptop.

Flip the hard drive on its side.

Hold the hard drive and use a spudger, preferably a wider one, to remove the black pin holder on the side where it touches the hard drive.

Gently wiggle the black pin holder back and forth, on each side, until the holder comes off.
