    Same here. I was able to easily remove the 2 middle screws but the rest were just wiggling in place and not coming out at all.

    I have the exact same problem. I dont know if it is because of the screws or if it is because I am an 11 year old.

    • Pull the back panel off using the highlighted tab. The tab should give you enough leverage to pull the panel off smoothly.

    • If the back panel is difficult to remove and feels like it is going to break, DO NOT force it. Check to confirm that all the screws are removed before attempting again.

    I was having the same problem as the 11 year old from the previous step, and contrary to this note I just stuck my screwdriver under that tab and pried it off. It worked. It wasn’t even hard.

In step 1, failure to unplug the cable does not result in electric shock. The power supply voltage is too low for such shock to happen to a human, but it can cause electrical damage to the motherboard. It is always a safe procedure to work on any machine unpowered (both power supply and battery disconnected and/or removed).

In step 9, be sure to remember the direction that the original drive was pointing when removing. The new drive must point the same direction.

In Step 3 - after removing the battery, press & hold the power buttton for 5 seconds to discharge any residual power in the circuitry before moving on to Step 4.
