Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn off the laptop before proceeding.
Unscrew the 15 screws on the bottom panel using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Pry open the back cover with a plastic prying tool.
Unplug the battery cable from the motherboard to prevent a ground fault. Either use your hand or a pair of tweezers to unplug the battery cable.
Too much pressure from the spudger can break the clips that secure the back panel, but some flex is not dangerous.

Note that the back side panel (the one with “Stealth” written on it) also comes off. This makes it easier to open without breaking the clips. Take care not to insert the prying tool you use too far in on that side as there is a ribbon cable for the power LED very close to the side located in the center.

Hi, there are two kinds of screws. One are longer than the other. Can you please tell me where the longer screws go ?

Schritt 2

Disconnect the SATA cables from the motherboard using a plastic spudger.
Gently pull out the SATA cables out of the ports.
Grab the auburn color cable and lift up the hard drive. Slide out the hard drive while holding onto the cable.
Cables are fragile. Do not apply excessive force.
