HP 2000 - 2D22DX Hard Drive Replacement

Flip the device over and locate the battery compartment.

Slide the battery release latch to the left until the battery is detached from its slot.

A distinguishable pop will be heard when the battery is fully released.

Slowly pull the battery out of its slot, being careful not to damage any of the connectors in the process.

Loosen the Phillips #00 screw securing the RAM compartment cover.

Once the screw is sufficiently loosened, slowly unclip the RAM compartment cover from its slots in the plastic chassis.

When unclipped completely, pull the compartment door out and away from the chassis.

Loosen the two Phillips #00 screws that are securing the hard drive compartment.

Once the screws are sufficiently loosened, disconnect the clips holding the cover in place and slowly pull the cover away from the plastic chassis.

Using a spudger, disconnect the hard drive connecting cable. Use a slow, prying motion as if pulling a nail out of wood.

Using your fingers, grab the blue tab on the right side of the hard drive and slowly pull upwards.

Lift the hard drive out and away from its socket in the plastic chassis.
