Bottom RAM cover, wireless card cover and DVD-ROM removal is NOT necessary. Removing battery when disassembling notebooks is always a good idea.

Bottom side:

  • Undo 2 screws marked with arrows with dots by the sides of the battery
  • Undo 7 screws at the perimeter and 1 screw roughly at the center

Top side:

  • There are two latches at the top of the keyboard, push them up and gently pry the keyboard off, top edge first.
  • Unlatch the keyboard ribbon cable
  • Undo 2 screws holding the aluminium memory plate
  • Pull off two other ribbon cables by the tabs
  • Very carefully disconnect two speakers connectors on the left using pincers
  • Undo 3 screws holding the top cover
  • Lift the top cover
  • HDD is on your right fixed by 3 small screws

After replacing the HDD reassemble in the reverse sequence

They run away and threw a notebook into a drainage ditch full of water. Notebook was found only 2 hours after. Today we finished a hard cleanup and recovery and retrieved 100% of data.
