Einleitung

Use this guide if the SD card reader or the USB drive located on the right side of the HP 15-db0015dx laptop stops working. Before starting this guide be sure to eject the SD card inside the laptop if applicable, remove any USB connectors and fully power off the device.

    • Power off the device before starting.

    • Remove the rubber strips that hide the screws using the spudger.

    • Flip the device and unscrew the eleven screws with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    How can I remove the rubber strips? Which screwdriver head should I use?

    • Use the spudger tool to pry open the back cover.

    • Lift the back panel to access the inside.

    • Slide the CD drive to the left, and remove.

    The top of what? Note that iFixit does not like arrows, and this arrow doesn’t seem to make sense here when you’re lifting up. Instead, use a flipbook style shot to show this action. I would also separate out the yellow bullet to a new step so you have three images to show this process, and also, so you can add more details to the description of what to do.

    I believe the tool here is the spudger, which you have in the tool list as well. Make sure to correctly identify tools.

    • Unscrew the three battery screws with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Lift the battery up, disconnecting the connector first.

    • Push forward and remove the battery.

    What is the orange highlighted section? You want the text and images to work independently. The picture also seems to contradict what you say, since your hands are on the sides. Reminder: remove arrows in all pictures in favor of action shots.

    Add warning and info bullets to let the audience know that they may damage other sections of this computer by pulling pieces off.
