Einleitung

This guide demonstrates how to remove a Toshiba Satellite L15W-B1208X hard drive. Reasons the hard drive might need replacing include the hard drive making noise, not running as fast as you would like, or not as much storage as you would like. Before removing the hard drive make sure that it has been backed up so information stored on it is not lost.

    • Turn off your laptop before starting.

    • Flip the laptop over so that the model number stickers face the ceiling.

    This is kind of a ta-da shot. It’s not a big deal here, but make sure you avoid these for complicated procedures.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit) to remove the ten 5mm screws that secure the bottom cover.

    • Use an opening pick by sliding it in the seam between the bottom casing and the main body of the laptop. Separate the bottom casing from the main body.

    • It is recommended that you start on a corner and work your way along the edge of the cover.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to separate the remainder of the back cover from the laptop.

    • Be careful not to bend or crack the plastic back cover.

    How should I use the opening pick? Note that your bullets are doubled here. I would also just integrate the step about working around into the bullets, as it’s part of the process.

    • Disconnect the battery from the motherboard by gently pulling on wiring connecting to the motherboard.

    • Carefully lift the battery out of the laptop.

    What are you doing with your finger in the first shot? Do you need to push down on that black tab to release the battery? If so, make the first bullet clearer. If it’s just showing where the piece is, then use markup instead of your finger to avoid confusion.

    • Use Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit) to remove the 2mm screw that secures the sound board.

    What card? Also, can you add a wide shot with markup to show where on the device these screws are?

    • Using the ESD Safe Tweezers Blunt Nose gently pull on the plastic connector that attaches the speaker wiring to the soundboard to disconnect the soundboard from the laptop.

    • Gently pull the wire away from the soundboard using the ESD Safe Tweezers Blunt Nose.

    Do you have flipbook style shots to show this process?

    • Gently lift the soundboard out of the laptop.

    Use circle and square markup, rather than arrows. Can you add more information to how to unplug the cable? E.g., yank, gently pull out, etc. That way, you wouldn’t need the caution here.

    • Pull up on the ribbon beneath the hard drive to lift the hard drive upwards.

    What is the purpose of the first picture here? Also, can you write clearer directions about how to use the ribbon? Be careful about relying exclusively on non-specific verbs (e.g., use, remove)—either explain how to remove/use, or use a more specific verb.

    • Gently pull the hard drive towards the edge of the laptop to disconnect the hard drive from the laptop circuitry.

    Before, you said to use the ribbon, but here, you’re using your hand to lift out the hard drive. It also seems like Step 9 could be condensed into Step 8.

    • Remove the hard drive from black rubber mount by pulling the corner of the rubber mount away from the hard drive.

    • Continue pulling the rubber mount away from the hard drive until all four corners have been taken off.

    • Pull the remainder of the rubber mount away from the hard drive.

    How can I do that?
