Fujitsu LIFEBOOK P7010D Hard Drive Replacement

Place the laptop upside down on a table.

Locate the battery (the grey block). Find the two tabs on one end of the battery, as pictured.

Using two fingers, press both tabs down at once until they are fully depressed.

While holding the tabs down, slowly pivot the battery up.

The battery is now free and safe to pull out.

Push the tab down as far as possible using your finger or opening tool to unlock the disc drive.

While still holding the tab down, use your other hand to pull out the disc drive straight out of its place.

On the bottom of the laptop, find the two bottom-plate screw holes near the disc drive. Parallel to them is a 2.4mm screw (second photo).

After locating the 2.4mm screw, use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to unscrew it.

Flip the laptop over and open it facing you.

Use a plastic opening tool to lift the bottom black cover on both sides.

Once the black cover is lifted, gently flip it and set it on the keyboard.

Locate the disc drive on the right side, as pictured.

Using two fingers and the clear plastic handles on the top, gently lift it out. Place it on the side of the laptop.

Flip the hard drive on its side.

Hold the hard drive and insert a plastic opening tool, preferably a wider one, in between the black pin holder and the hard drive.

Gently wiggle the black pin holder back and forth, on each side, until it comes off.
