Inleiding
The hard drive is where a computer permanently stores information, making it very important. A broken or damaged hard drive must be replaced to restore proper functioning.

Two 9.5 mm screws in the middle of the back edge, and one 9.5 mm screw in the right edge

Two 4.3 mm screws in the back corners

One 17.5 mm screw at the left edge near the optical drive

Invert the laptop in order to gain access to the ribbons.

Remove each ribbon by flipping the small white plastic flap up and gently pulling on the ribbon.

Now that the ribbons have been detached from the bottom cover, carefully remove the keyboard plate cover. Once it has been removed, place it in a safe and moisture free area so it does not get damaged.
Yes and you have to put lotion on
Now, that is a stupid question! Of course! As I am working on 551M, I naturally have to have nails painted orange, with blue accents!

Excellent work !
Same issue as Tony on 09/03/2014
The screw sizings are mixed up. The red screws are 9.5, not 14.3
The yellow screws are 14.3 not 9.5. Please fix the repair guide text
It should be fixed now! Thanks to both of you for the tip. By the way, you can always edit the text yourself. ;)
Thanks for the info!
All went well until it came to replacing the ribbon cables. Tried and tried, and couldn’t get them to stay in place. Had to call in a computer repair chap who fixed them in a couple of minutes. After that, everything was fine.
screw assignments are definitely wrong. I swapped the red and the green, as per comment above, and kept the blue as-is.

Thanks everyone. It does seem like someone got their screws mixed up when they wrote this guide. I’ve made some changes as you all suggested, so the screw placements should be more accurate now. If anyone with this laptop could verify the screw measurements with a digital caliper, that’d also be very helpful.
