Hi

I recently purchased a new drive for my Laptop. I cannot find any instructions on how to fit this drive. Could someone please 'guide' me through the process. I'm quite good at upgrading PC's but have no experience of laptop upgrading.

Thanks in advance

Hi John,

It's been a while since I last did this but as far as I can remember it goes as follows:

There is a screw on the underneath of the laptop directly underneath the DVD drive that needs to be removed, either a B8 or B16 screw. Then the
keyboard needs to be removed, there is plastic slip above the keyboard that needs removing, use you finger nails to remove this. There are two
screws that then hold the keyboard in. Once the keyboard is remove there
is another screw holding the DVD drive in place, it's fairly straight forward to work out which one. Then just slot the drive out. This may not tie up exactly as I have not worked on one of these for a while.

Many thanks,

Lee.
