Introduction

The hard drive is the operating process of the computer that contains the software necessary to run the computer, so a faulty hard drive will significantly impact the operation of the device.

Please be aware that the bottom screen needed for removal to complete this repair is very fragile, so be cautious of broken glass. A cracked bottom screen will not operate as it should, so the bottom screen may need to be replaced as well.

What you need

Step 1

              Bottom Screen/Keyboard
  • Turn off and power down the device before beginning this process. A heat gun or hair dryer will be suitable to heat the adhesive that holds down the screen. Apply heat to the entire surface area of the bottom screen.
  • New adhesive will be required when completing the steps in reverse order.
