Introduction

Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you’re replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

What you need

Step 1

              Unfasten the back cover               
  • For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% and power down your device before disassembly.
  • Use a Torx T5 screwdriver to loosen the five captive screws holding the back cover.
