las instrucciones son incompletas, no explica cuando se debe hacer esta intervención y cuando no se debe hacer, cuales son los sintomas de un disco duro para hacer esta intervención?
Not bad instructions, aside from the fact that on my hard drive the Torx screws required a T4 driver...not the T3 mentioned. Still, pretty straightforward and simple...just need to plug the drive back in and see if it works.
