Introduction
Your device wont turn on or when running a BIOS/UEFI memory test shows that your SSD is no longer functioning. The Solid State Drive (SSD) is the long storage memory device. When you install a program or save a document this is where that data is stored. Operating system boot files are also located here, and are what allow you to use your device. When the SSD is no longer working properly it should always be replaced.

You don't need to add the set out materials step--that's what the part above is for! Also, I'd suggest using flipbook style shots as often as possible to show action. It's pretty rare that a step should only have one image.

Please be sure to take into account the comments I've already made on the battery guide. It doesn't look like those edits were made yet.
