What you need

Step 1

              Remove the battery
  • Turn the laptop upside down and gently lay it down on a flat surface.
  • Slide the battery release latch to the right and the battery will pop up slightly.
  • While keeping the latch slid with one hand, grab the battery with the other hand and remove it by pivoting it upward.
  • At this point some users would turn the laptop upside down once again and press the power button a couple of times. They say that this should help dissipating all of the remaining electricity around the device. Up to you :)

  • Afterwards, using a pair of tweezers, grab the HDD’s SATA cable at the transparent tab and simply lift its end up, out of the connector.
  • By levering with an opening tool, pry the HDD out of its bay. Once it is on your hand, release its cable from its retaining hole obtained on the base enclosure and finally leave the HDD aside.
