The hard drive stores all the user’s data in the laptop, so once the hard drive fails all of the laptop’s data is harder to restore. A hard drive would only have to be removed if the laptop’s screen fails to display, which is often associated with overheating, or if the user is looking to store a larger data set. Before replacing, make sure the replacement hard drive and a Phillips #0 screwdriver are present.
