Remove the twenty 6.5mm screws using the Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Two of these 6.5mm screws are covered by a silver sticker. Remove the sticker by gently scraping your finger nail under the sticker and then remove the screws.

Step 8

On the right-hand corner of the laptop, remove the CD-ROM by pressing the small button on the side. Pull it out of the laptop, and set it to the side.

The button to press can be accessed by a small paperclip through the tiny round hole — not the rectangular normal release button. (The picture shows the rectangular button being pressed.)

There is some resistance to pulling the CD-ROM out of the laptop, but as long as its screw is removed, it will not break

Step 9

Make sure that all screws and the CD-ROM Drive are removed before trying to complete this step to prevent damaging your laptop. During this step, you will likely hear loud crackling noises. This is normal.
Flip the computer back over with the screen facing up and open the laptop.
Use the Plastic Opening Tool to separate the face plate from the backing.

Step 10

After running the opening tool along the sides, you can gently pop the keyboard open to access the Hard Drive.
The Hard Drive is located to the right of the RAM and above the Motherboard.
