Introduzione

This guide will show you how to replace the hard drive of the Dell Inspiron 11-3168. Before starting, make sure both the laptop AC adapter and battery are disconnected prior to replacing any part or component.

Before you begin, be sure to turn off your laptop and unplug it from the outlet.
Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove all nine 7.5mm screws from the bottom case of the laptop.

Remove the bottom case of the laptop by gently prying along the seam with a plastic opening tool.

Passo 3

Remove the one 7.5mm screw that is holding the battery in place.

Passo 4

Disconnect the battery cable from its motherboard socket by gently pulling it towards the battery.
Pull parallel to the battery, not straight up.

Passo 5

Remove the battery.

Passo 6

Unscrew the two 7.5 mm Phillips #00 screws.

There's a third screw hiding under the flat grey ribbon seen at the top of the first image. This needs to be removed as well before you can pull out the HD sled/tray.
