Introduction

While hard drives can be purchased from most online retailers, you may need to search for a hard drive that is compatible for the laptop’s specific model. This is because most laptops use more compact and specifically designed hard drives to fit their smaller overall size.

  • Locate the battery near the bottom left-hand side of the device.
  • Locate the two switches above the battery’s top left corner.
  • Use any finger to move the smaller switch above the battery to the unlock position.
  • A small icon of a padlock will identify the “lock” and “unlock” positions of the switch.
