Step 34
Lift the hard drive out of the computer and turn the hard drive over. Use the transparent orange loop to disconnect the hard drive 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.
Step 35 — Hard Drive Replacement
Remove the metal brackets from either side of the hard drive (if they're still there).
With the pins facing away from you, and the label facing up, the bracket with a tab in the middle and a metal slot on it goes on the left side of the drive; the other bracket, of course, goes on the right.
Step 36
Remove two T8 Torx screws from either side of the hard drive (four screws total).
Congratulations! You have now removed your item. To reassemble simply follow the directions in reverse order.
