– Grab your favorite opening pick or trusty plastic pry tool and gently work those case clips loose, starting at the back edge. You’re doing awesome!

– Pop off that bottom cover—time to let your device breathe!
Step 6
Once you unscrew it, the SSD card will spring up at a chill 45-degree angle—easy peasy!
– Unscrew the black 4 mm Phillips #000 screw hanging out on the right side of the SSD.
Step 7
– Slide your hand under the SSD card, lift it gently, and give it a smooth pull upward and to the right. Easy does it!
