Step 40 — Hard Drive Replacement
Remove the hard drive bracket from the left side of the hard drive.
Step 41
Remove the two black T8 Torx screws from either side of the hard drive (four screws total).
Step 42
Use the transparent orange loop to disconnect the large orange ribbon cable from the hard drive.
This is a bit tricky. Try rocking the cable gently from side to side while applying even pressure. If you bend the pins, do your best to straighten them, using the hard drive cable as a guide.
Congratulations! You have now removed your item. To reassemble simply follow the directions in reverse order.
