Einleitung

This guide will instruct you on how to safely remove and replace the hard drive of your Toshiba Satellite L55W-C5256. You may need to do this if:

  • Your device’s hard drive is making a clicking noise, indicating component failure
  • Your device will not boot or is displaying a blue screen of death

Before beginning this replacement guide, it is recommended that you use an anti-static work mat and that you ground yourself using an anti-static wrist strap. This helps to protect your device from damage caused by static discharge. If you do not have these materials, you can find an anti-static wrist strap here, and an anti-static work mat here. To learn how to properly use an anti-static band and an anti-static work mat (recommended), see the guide found here.

    • Before beginning this repair, power off your device and unplug all cables and accessory devices.

    • Flip the laptop over so that the model numbers are facing the ceiling.

  2. QDdBMIY3pIqWBFsN

    • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 10 screws that secure the back cover to the device.

  3. RJQaoOEdYgWEDvVr

    • Gently use an iFixit opening tool to separate the back cover from the laptop. Go around all edges until plastic clips are completely free.

    • Ensure all plastic clips have been freed. Attempting to forcefully remove the back cover could result in damage to your device.

    • Set the connection cable aside for use with your replacement hard drive.

    • Remove the protective blue rubber caging from the hard drive.

    • Be sure not to damage the blue rubber caging during removal. This protective caging prevents your hard drive from moving freely inside your device, and will be needed for reassembly.
