Einleitung

This guide will show you how to remove or replace the hard drive of the Toshiba Satellite C55-A5286 laptop. A Phillips screwdriver of head size PH0 is required for this guide.

  1. sibWiV1eVnsPeIgI

    • Unplug the AC adapter and all other auxiliary components from the laptop.

  2. YHmC3bTXQe1ZfCjV

    • There is a removable panel on the underside of the laptop with one 5-mm screw holding it in place.

    • Use the screwdriver to remove the screw and then remove the back panel.

  3. CwEnjyGSZLiHVMF4

    • Underneath this panel is a silver square with rubber around the edges. This is the hard drive. On the side of the hard drive nearest to the manufacturer’s label, there is a large, flat 8-mm screw that is holding the hard drive in place.

    • Use the screwdriver to remove the screw.

  4. RTOSclsikQjfWklm

    • Carefully hold the sides of the hard drive with the rubber and pull the hard drive out. It should remove fairly easily.

    Step 4 is wrong. On the left side of the hard drive (in the step 4 photo) there are two rubber ‘dongles’ (I have no other words for them). Those ‘dongles’ HAVE to be lifted out of their location for the drive to be able to be removed. Also, once those rubber dongles are lifted, they can then be used the to pull the drive out of it’s socket - very smoothly, at that.

The hard drive is ‘encased’ in a foil-looking, very flexible ‘enclosure’.

On the screw-side (near the label), each corner of the foil enclosure has a rubber black stuffed between the drive and the laptop - these blocks are connected to the enclosure via a rubber ‘string’. If you pull those nubs straight up, you can pull on them towards the label to disengage the drive from its SATA interface.
