    • To begin, you will need to remove the battery by sliding the left slider (red) to the left.

    • Push the battery away from you to release it.

    • Then, use the right slider to remove the computer's backing (shown in image)

    • Slide the backing towards you to remove it.

  2. jJmJeaU3BnNccTBg
    • Once the backing has been removed, you will be able to locate the computer's hard drive in the bottom left corner.

  3. yWESgNiNnBtVOiC3
    • To remove the hard drive compartment's cover, unscrew the two 0.8mm Phillips screws with a P1 Phillips-head screwdriver.

    • Open by lifting the left side of the cover so it is facing upwards and outwards.

    • The black screws, not the gold screws.

  4. c1WltxtbKRPaqS46
    • Use the same screwdriver to loosen all three screws at the attachment points of the silver hard drive caddy.

    • These screws do not need to be completely removed.

  5. 3xywdKJc4jgeaoxQ
    • To remove the caddy and gain access to the hard drive, pull the black tab up to release it from the caddy.

    • Once you can grab the tab with your fingers, pull it to the left to disconnect the hard drive from the computer.

  6. kEZT2JpLnHg2JEhO
    • The hard drive can now be replaced inside the caddy.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
