Einleitung

If you want to upgrade your ThinkPad with a brand new SSD to unlock better performance with your laptop, this guide will show you how to access the hard drive slot and to switch out (or insert) a hard drive.

  1. KA5ZxNl314O4RPKG

    • Turn the computer over so that the back is facing upwards.

    • Locate the screw in the bottom left-hand corner of the computer.

  2. uVBwugf4RFIqFDqZ

    • Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove the 17 mm screw.

  3. lCW6gjMkCdWfXCV3

    • Carefully remove the plastic piece covering the hard drive by first pulling up then away from the computer.

    • Pull gently on the black tab and the metal tray holding the hard drive will slide out.

  6. gJEUmoYCTdw2cmH2

    • Remove the plastic coverings on both sides of the hard drive.

    • Note that there is no hard drive in this picture but the process will remain the same.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. If your pull tab is broken, you will need to find something to use as a pull tab for the new drive. You can get a long piece of tape, and fold the end and stick the rest to the drive.
