Introduction

You should replace your disk drive if it isn’t able to read something and you tried other methods of fixing it, or if the disk drive itself won’t open.

The process is fairly simple and will only require removal of one screw.

What you need

Step 1

              Battery               
  • Shut down the computer and disconnect all cables.
  • Flip the computer over so that the bottom is facing up.
  • Slide right switch above the battery so that it is in the rightwards position.
