    • Turn the power off and turn the netbook upside down.

    • Slide both battery catches together to release the battery.

    • Slide the battery out.

    While there is a fairly long list of tools listed here, I was able to complete the entire guide using only a 3/64" flathead mini screwdriver (the kind you get for $0.99). I replaced the stock 500GB 5400RPM drive with the updated 7200RPM slim drive of the same line with no issues. The BIOS picked it up immediately, and I need only reinstall an OS.

    Missing step: remove the two screws under the battery, otherwise the keyboard won’t come off

I've just upgraded my 1215N HDD using this guide. This is very good step by step guide. A WIndows 10 Pro install managed to wreck the pre-installed HDD.

Like Tolidano , I just used a normal flat head screwdriver and a Philips screwdriver to carry out the HDD swap. I'm now in the process of installing Windows 10 Pro on to the new HDD.

Very good guide! I my case i need to remove 2 screws from the battery compartment to remove the keyboard

gus - Contestar

I also had to remove the two (tiny, but phillips #00) screws from the battery compartment.

I actually went further and removed the motherboard to clean the fan. It wasn't too hard thanks to your guide!

Franciozzy - Contestar

I, too had to remove the battery compartment screws. Other than that, and that I couldn’t get the keyboard cable out, the replacement went flawlessly.

Guy, Just Some -

Great stuff, swapped original HD for an SSD. Thank you for this!

Steven - Contestar

Great guide, swapped original HD for an SSD on this eee pc today. Worked like a charm.

Thank you for these instructions.

Steven - Contestar

Work fine!

I just change the HDD with a new SSD of my 1215B laptop.

15 minutes is a little optimistic, 1 hour for newbies.

Thanks
