How To Install An Acer Laptop Hard Drive

How To Install An Acer Laptop Hard Drive

Step 1

Turn off the laptop and eject the battery. To avoid risking injury, you
must shut down the laptop and remove the battery before attempting to
install a new hard drive. This will prevent electricity from traveling
through the laptop while you are working on it. Turn the laptop off
through the Windows operating system and close the lid. Place the laptop upside down on a flat, level
surface so that you can easily access the bottom of the laptop. Remove
the battery by sliding the battery lock---found directly above the
battery compartment---to the "unlocked" position. Open the battery bay
and lift or slide the battery out. Wait until your Acer laptop has cooled off before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2

Locate the hard drive compartment and remove the cover. Most Acer store the hard drive in its own compartment near the battery for easy
removal and installation. Check the user guide that came with your
laptop to be sure which compartment contains the hard drive on your
specific Acer model(Aspire 3020). Use a laptop screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the cover to the laptop, then lift the cover to remove it.

Step 3

Replace the old hard drive with the new one. When you open the hard
drive compartment, you will see a removable metal cage. This is not the
hard drive, but a protective compartment in which the hard drive is
mounted. Carefully lift and pull the right edge of the hard drive cage
to disconnect it from the motherboard. Use a laptop screwdriver to
remove the screws securing the hard drive to the cage. After you remove
the old hard drive, insert the new one into the metal cage, and then
replace the screws. Slide the hard drive cage back into the compartment
to connect it to the motherboard. Replace the hard drive compartment
cover and secure its two screws to complete installation of the hard
drive.

How to get a screw out that has lost its shape?

On the bottom of my laptop one of the screws has lost its shape because it is so cheap and now i can't get it out. The screwdriver won't fit there. I have tried to use different screw drivers and they don't work. How can I get it out?

Difficult to say without knowing which laptop and which screw. My response would be to drill out the head, but that depends on a) having the right tools and b) knowing what you are doing. It can be done, but I suggest you get an expert to look at it.
