    For the hard drive replacement, a longer times should be indicated. for the WLAN replacement 15 minutes is indicated, but for the hard drive replacement, which can only be done after the WLAN replacement, the time is listed as 10 minutes.

    in steps 5 and 6 it seems the bottom shield is called a bracket, so by using 2 different names it’s making it seem like we’re missing a piece/part

Could you indicate the SSD brand/model/capacity/interface so we can order upgrades without having to open up and do the same twice.

When Ze - Antwort

actually you can flip open metal bracket with just one mylar tape

and there is 5 screws, not 4. if you look, you will see triangle arrow stamped on bracket indicating which screws to remove.

you can swap the ssd without removing the wifi board

do this all the time, saves a lot of steps
