    It is very important to add pictures from the cmos battery instructions on ifixit for this laptop before Step 5, as it gives the very important instruction to SLIDE DOWN the unscrewed cover towards the battery. I nearly damaged it by trying to pop it off before thinking to look at a different set of instructions to make sure I wasn’t going to break the back panel.

    Thank you so much for this comment. I was doing the same thing trying to unsuccessfully pull off the cover but then saw that there was a comment. If somebody who holds themself out to be knowledgeable does not bother to go step by step it can cause a problem. Thanks again.

    • Disconnect the hard drive connector from the top of the drive.

    • iFixit's device came without a hard drive to picture. Your device will have a component connected to the thin, black connector.

    • The hard drive connector can be removed from the laptop body to make replacement easier.

    What is the max thickness for the SSD? Thanks.

    If you are going to bother to show how to remove the HD you should do it with an HD installed.

    Mine has one, but it’s also a poor candidate to show how not having anything but the drive cable.

Hi, my problem is the opposite, I have an hard drive but seems like my HDD connector doesn't plug in the small port. I can send you a pic, I need help

I want to use a Seagate hard disk, but when I start it, it demands me a password. Can you help me in this case please?

It sounds like your BIOS is locked to only work with that hard drive
