Steps:

1. Power off the laptop and place it facedown on a non-scratching surface.
2. Remove the nine T5 screws fastening the back case.

3. Slide a plastic opening tool underneath the back case near the screen hinges. Gently pry up on either side.
4. Slide the opening tool underneath the back case next to the middle screw hole at either side of the case. Gently pry up.
5. You may hear popping sounds as the tabs securing the case release. This is normal. If the case does not move, try prying at a different angle/position.

6. Remove the back case by pulling up near the screen hinges and lifting diagonally away from the laptop.
7. Go slowly to avoid breaking any connecting tabs.

8. Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 4mm screw holding down the storage drive.

9. Hold onto the back of the storage drive and slightly lift up.
10. Remove the drive by pulling back at a diagonal angle.
11. To install the storage drive, insert it into the connector at a slight downwards angle. The drive connector is keyed and will only go in one way.
