Detailed steps for removing a failed hard drive

[Skeeter03]

For my HP ProBook 455 G6 Notebook PC, what are the detailed steps for removing a failed hard drive and replacing it?

The Manual has detailed steps:

Service Manual

Pages 35-42 and you can ignore the parts about components other than the hard drive. 

You are in the USA so lots of buying options for hard drives and you may want to take this chance to get a solid state drive. Highly recommended. 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thank you so much!  The description looks perfectly clear - just a different way to remove the bottom cover from other laptops  I've worked on, and I certainly didn't want to approach this one with a trial and error approach.  Can you tell me whether this laptop came with a help page showing a link to this manual.  If so, how do I bring up the page, where there might be other items worth my attention?

Its not too mysterious. Just google "HP 455 G6 Manuals" and a "Home Page" for your model should be available which has all kinds of info. The video library does not have content for your model or I could link you to technician training videos, too. Don't forget youtube. Usually some good (and very bad) videos there as well. Just search for 455 G6 hard drive.
