Replacing the hard disk drive

You can replace a damaged hard disk drive yourself.

Note: Replace the hard disk drive only if you have it repaired. The connectors

and bay of the hard disk drive were not designed for frequent changes,

or drive swapping. The Product Recovery program and the Access

ThinkPad Predesktop Area are not contained in the replacement hard

disk drive.

Attention

Handling a hard disk drive

v Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on

a material, such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.

v Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.

v Do not touch the connector.

The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and

permanent loss of data on the hard disk. Before removing the hard disk

drive, make a backup copy of all the information on the hard disk, and

then turn the computer off. Never remove the drive while the system is

operating, in standby mode, or in hibernation mode.

To replace the hard disk drive, do the following:

1. Turn off the computer; then disconnect the ac adapter and all cables

from the computer.

2. Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.

3. Remove the battery.

4. Remove the screw that secures the hard disk drive.
