Introduction

This guide is an internal guide used as a prereq.

  1. sMEoM3vUMfDX1WrE

    • Remove two Phillips screws securing the hard drive bracket to the upper case.

    • These screws are captive to the hard drive bracket.

  2. BaLsEQXwHYTUyHVN

    • Lift the the retaining bracket out of the upper case.

  3. fL4dQxFDdTmYgUSM

    • Lift the hard drive by its pull tab and pull it out of the chassis, minding the cable attaching it to the computer.

    Be VERY careful when you are lifting up the drive. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a new hard drive/IR sensory cable! Learn from my fail!

    After having changed the drive my disk works some times only, other times not. Some times it will boot other times not. I see that the sleep indicator is not working. Might have damaged the cable? Thought I was really careful when changing the drive.
