    • On the back panel of the device, remove the four (4) M2.5xL6 screws at the top of the photo using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Unscrew the three (3) screws at the bottom of the photo using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

    In the second step the photo looks like the laptop is still in the same position as the first step, which means, according to the first image, the second image shows someone removing the four screws at the top of the laptop. To be accurate to the text in Step 2, the barcode would appear at the top of the image.

Followed guide to remove HDD from 15m-bq121dx model. Steps were identical. Took more force than I expected to remove bottom cover and to get the HDD out.
