My Problem
My HDD started failing, so I decided to replace it with a SSD.
My Fix
Went well. The detail of the walkthru is excellent.
My Advice
One hiccup, which was my fault. Step 14 suggests removing the adhesive backing from the strips on the chassis, but I decided to try to leave these on as I was positioning the screen in Step 15. After that bottom adhesive had made good contact, I found that the two vertical strip backings (#13 and #16) could not be fully removed! I did what I could to remove as much as possible, but there still exists a couple centimeters of backing entombed between the screen and chassis. This seems to pose no functional problem, and is not even cosmetically visible, but it was irritating trying to fish out backing during the most critical part of this repair (holding the screen high enough to reconnect cables). Overall, would do again.
