Exchanging the hard drive
The hard drive is located on the bottom left side of the case. It is covered by a ribbon cable, fixed to the HD by a tape. The Bluetooth module is localized underneath the HD.
First unstick the ribbon cable, then remove the screws as indicated by red circles on the photo.
Then, slowly slide up the HD and once it is removed from its bay, unplug all cables from it.
You will now need to remove 4 additional screws to transfer the HD holder from the Seagate Momentus to the Hitachi TravelStar.
Now, you simply need to repeat the procedure backwards, DO NOT FORGET to plug all cables back.
