At step 7, the side screws are very tight. Both T6 Torx and 1.5 Hex keys dont work for me. I fear the screws could get damaged if i try more. How do i unscrew them?
What was your solution to removing the screws? I am having the same isse.
Perfect instructions. I am now running a Crucial SSD drive and the improvement is amazing. Thanks.
