Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

Introduction

If you are having issues with your hard disk drive, this guide explains how to remove the drive from the device for troubleshooting purposes or to insert a replacement hard drive.

Tools

Step 1

Make sure that the device is turned off and that all external devices are removed.

Step 2

Flip the device over so that the back plate is facing upwards.

Step 3

Using a small (size 0) Phillips head screwdriver, remove the twelve 5.5 mm external Phillips head screws that connect the back plate to the device.
Make sure to set the screws aside in a safe place so that you do not lose them, as they will be needed to reattach the backplate later.

Step 4

Using the plastic opening tool, gently pry off the back plate from the device.

Step 5

The large black box with the white warning images is the battery.
Move the ribbon cable so that it is no longer on top of the battery.

Step 6

Using a small (size 0) Phillips head screwdriver, remove the three 3.5 mm Phillips head internal screws that hold the battery in place.
Make sure not to lose these internal screws; they will later be used to reattach the battery.

Step 7

Lift up the battery and remove it from the slot as shown.

Step 8

Use the plastic opening tool to disconnect the battery cable.

Step 9

Lift up the battery and remove it from the device.

Step 10

The hard disk drive is under a metallic looking case in the bottom-right corner of the device.
Using a size 0 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the four 3 mm size 0 screws attaching the hard drive casing to the device.
