Preparation
Save your work and shut the computer down through the operating system, unplug AC power and every external device, and work on a clean, grounded, ESD-protected surface while sorting each screw by its original location. Handle every cable by its connector and put each one back in its own place during reassembly.
Replacement
- Take out the Phillips M2.0×2.0 screw that holds the drive to the system board. (printed page 40).
- Take out the drive by pulling it away from the plug (2). (printed page 40).
- Fit the replacement part by working back through the printed removal steps (printed page 40).
