Hi,

The hard drive on this laptop stopped working just 4 months after purchase.

I want to change it but I've removed the 6 screws but see no way of opening it up.

Do I have to detach the display to open this darn thing up?

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook's model series.

 

The HDD R & R procedures can be found in chapter 6, starting on page 53.

You're very welcome.

 

I posted a video which hopefully will resolve the issue for you after you watch it.

 

Though the music may make your headache worse...
