Einleitung

With this guide, you will be able to safely remove your faulty SSD and replace it with a new SSD.

The SSD or solid state drive is responsible for containing your Chromebook’s Operating System as well as providing storage for applications on your Chromebook.

Solid state drives are heavily dependent on power supply capacitors and are free of moving parts. Therefore, they are vulnerable to malfunctions caused by power surges or logical errors. Some errors could be your machine not booting up, applications freezing, or the SSD running excessively slow. Your SSD has been proven to have a lifespan on 4 years before it will begin experiencing issues.

It is important to note that if your Chromebook is running out of storage, you may need to upgrade your current SSD. Your Chromebook supports SSDs of up to 32GB.

Make sure you back up important files on your Chromebook using an external drive or USB Drive.

    • Remove the 10 7.1 mm screws using Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    • Loosen the back cover by using a plastic opening tool all the way around the device.

    • There are areas all along the sides of the device that help aid in this.

    • Be careful when prying, and go slow. The silver plastic frame around the dull gray plastic bottom is fragile and easily dented from prying pressure.

    I have the UK model and I found Fascinating Captain’s method for removing the back cover to be simplicity itself:

    • Remove the back cover by gently lifting up on one side of the device.

    • The easiest side to lift up on is the one with the removed rubber foot pads.

    • Remove the translucent yellow tape that connects the Wi-Fi card and the SSD.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the single screw connecting the SSD to the motherboard.
