Dell Inspiron 14z Hard Drive Replacement

소개

Pretty straight forward repair. Biggest issue I found while doing it, is that spring clip that holds the screw to the cover. It does have a tendency to come off during the removal of the cover. It could theoretical fall into the opening of the drive bay. Make sure you know where it is so that it does not get lost.
