– Using a plastic opening tool, carefully lift and take off the back cover to reveal the inner workings. It’s like unwrapping a present, but way more techy!
Step 3
(Not shown here) Go ahead and gently take out the hard drive. You’ve got this!
– Grab your trusty #0 Phillips head screwdriver and unscrew those three 5.7 mm screws connecting the hard drive to the motherboard—it’s like a little treasure hunt!
– Next, gently lift away the small rectangular hard drive-motherboard connection board. You’ve got this!
Step 4
– Grab your trusty #0 Phillips head screwdriver and unscrew those four 5.7 mm battery screws like a pro!
– Now, gently lift out the battery and give it a little wave goodbye.
Step 5
– Grab your trusty Phillips #00 screwdriver and go ahead and unscrew those two 2.7 mm screws and that one 5.7 mm screw holding the CD drive in place. You’ve got this!
– Now, take your plastic opening tool and gently coax the drive out from the metal brackets that are keeping it snug. A little finesse goes a long way!
