To replace the hard disk drive
You’ll need a small Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.
1. Unplug the AC adapter if you’re using one, and remove the battery.
2. Turn the unit bottom side up.
3. Use a pointed tool to remove the plugs from the two screw holes, and then remove the
two screws.
4. Gently pull the hard drive out of the computer.
5. Gently slide the new drive into the hard drive compartment. Press firmly to make sure
the connector seats properly.
6. Reinstall the hard drive screws and plugs.
