Einleitung

Use this guide to replace a failing or outdated hard drive in your Lenovo IdeaPad S210 Touch.

Hard drives store and retrieve data in your computer. If your hard drive is failing, you may notice your device making strange noises, crashing often, and/or displaying error messages. The Lenovo IdeaPad S210 Touch uses a hard drive that is 7mm thick and 2.5in long.

Be sure to back up your hard drive before replacement so you don’t lose any data. Make sure to completely power off and disconnect the device from any external power sources before starting the process.

    • Ensure your device is unplugged and shut down.

    • Place the laptop down with the cooling vents facing upwards.

    • Use your finger to slide the latch towards the unlocked position (away from the other latch). If done correctly you will see red.

    • Slide the second latch to the unlocked position while gently pulling the battery away from the laptop.

    For the picture displaying the two slide latches maybe demonstrate the direction they need to slide

    Which direction should you pull the battery? (e.g., away from the device).

    • Using the #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove the nine 4mm screws on the back panel.

    I think you can remove the caution, since it was removed in the previous step.

    Make sure to write the last sentence as a complete sentence.

    • Gently pull the two rubber feet closest to battery away from the device. Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove the 5mm screw under each rubber foot.

    Specifying the tool used would be a great addition to this step.

    I agree, and I also think you want to add action shots here.

    • Using a #0 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four 4mm screws that secure the hard drive bracket to the motherboard.

    Locate step should be removed here. Also be sure to check punctuation and capitalization on all steps. Here, locate hard drive is a sentence, so end with a period, and hard drive doesn’t need to be capitalized.

    • Slide your hard drive away from your motherboard until fully removed.

    • Be careful not to snag any wires routed along the battery side of the hard drive.

    Do you have any pictures that show the wires you’re talking about?

    • This step is only necessary if you are swapping your old hard drive for a new one.

    • Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, remove four 2.5mm screws, two per side, to release the hard drive from its mounting bracket. These screws are directly next to each mounting screw you removed previously.

    • Install the mounting brackets onto the new hard drive during reassembly.

    Only 1 of the 4 screws is marked.

    Agreed—I also think an intermediary step might be helpful that shows what it looks like before you start sliding. Is there a specific direction you have to slide?

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
