Intro:
Yeh guide aapko dikhayegi kaise replace karna hai dead hard drive ko ya upgrade karna hai storage.
🧰 What You’ll Need
Phillips #00 screwdriver
T6 Torx screwdriver
Replacement hard drive or SSD
🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Remove the Lower Case
MacBook ko ulta (bottom side up) rakho.
Neeche ke 10 screws nikaalo:
• 3 screws of ~14.4 mm (Phillips #00)
• 3 screws of ~3.5 mm (Phillips #00)
• 4 “shouldered” screws of ~3.5 mmJab wapas screws lagao, chhote screws ko case ki curve ke perpendicular direction mein rahne do, seedha nahin.
Lower case ko vent side se lift karke dheere slide kar ke hatao.
Step 2: Disconnect the Battery Connector
Spudger ka edge use karo, battery connector ko logic board se upar pry karo.
Dono short sides se thoda thoda “walk” karo taki connector safely socket se alag ho jaaye.
Corners bahut fragile hote hain — careful ho.
Step 3: Bend the Battery Cable
Thoda sa battery cable ko side mein bend karo, taki woh accidental contact na kare kisi component se jab aap andar kaam karein.
Step 4: Remove the Hard Drive Bracket
Do Philips screws jo hard drive bracket ko upper case se hold karte hain, unko remove karo.
Bracket drive ke saath attached hi rahega — usko step ke saath nikaaloge.
Step 5: Lift Hard Drive
Attached pull tab ka use karke hard drive ko dheere upar karo.
Drive ab bhi cable se connected hogi — poore tarah se nikaalne ka abhi time nahin hai.
Step 6: Detach Hard Drive Cable
Cable ko body se gently pull karo — woh loose ho jayega.
Drive ab completely free hogi — ab nikaal lo.
Step 7: Transfer Mounting Posts
Purani drive ke sides mein jo 4 hard drive retaining posts lage hain (T6 Torx), unko hatake nayi drive pe transfer karo.
Agar pull tab chahiye ho, toh use bhi nayi drive pe transfer kar sakte ho.
🔄 Reassembly
Jab naya drive fit karoge, steps reverse order mein karo:
Drive insert karo, cable attach karo
Bracket screews wapas lagao
Battery connector connect karo
Lower case lagao & 10 screws wapas fix karo
