HP Compaq 515 Hard Drive Replacement

Introduction

The hard drive is fairly easy to replace though it may seem intimidating at first glance. The only tool needed for this replacement guide is the PH00 bit. Don't worry about losing the two screws that get unscrewed because they stay attached to the device for your convenience. Make sure the device is off before starting the guide. If the device is unable to save any new data such as a photo or file, then the hard drive might need to be replaced.
