This is a guide that will show you how to replace the drive of this laptop.

Werkzeuge

Phillips #00 Screwdriver

Schritt 1

Turn the laptop off then place it down so that the back is facing up.
Slide the battery release switch to the left and hold it there.

Schritt 2

Pull the battery away upward and away from the laptop while continuing to hold the release switch.
Once the battery is removed from the laptop, you may release the switch.
To properly dispose of your battery, look for the closest location that accepts electronic waste in your area and drop it off there.
