Introduction

This guide is to remove a hard drive on an HP Pavilion 14-bk061st.

A hard drive is the component of a laptop or PC that stores data for a system, such as critical operating system data to everyday files users may store. If you’re having trouble with your laptop refer to this troubleshooting guide to diagnose and repair issues.

If this is your first time removing a hard drive or even if you are an expert it is always recommended that you back up the data on your hard drive semi-regularly especially if you are opening up the laptop.

Tools

Parts

Step 1

Remove the three 5.7 JIS #1 screws from the bottom of the laptop.
Remove the two 6.7mm JIS #1 screws from underneath the feet of the laptop close to the exhaust vent.

Step 2

Unclip the back plate using a plastic opening tool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXhVP0Un... This video helped a little. It is very hard to pry the left or right side away as the manual says. The video shows lifting from the center of the back. This bows the lid and consequently pulls the left and right sides inward slightly. I enhanced this movement by pushing inward from the right and left sides with my thumb while pulling up from the center of the back panel. This popped open the clasps on the right. Lifting the right back corner and pulling to the right, I got the clasps on the left to disengage. Once the clasps on the left and right towards the back came loose, the rest was far less stubborn.
