Missing some steps here…. Where are the clips holding the sides together? To go straight from “Remove bottom cover” to “Device is apart” is a bit… lacking.
Yes, Aksel Barnes is correct. There are missing pictures and steps showing the removal of the plastic exterior from the metal section.

i wish the bottom cover magically came off like in step 9
screws are actually C1- C5 one is incorrectly labelled - C7 = C1 also in step 8.5 there are 3 clips holding back edge of bottom cover to top one. one on each end and one just to right of I/O area. can get 2 of them with a spudger (ends) and the middle one with a isesamo.
Several steps missing between 8 and 9
Like remove wifi adaptor.
There is some consistency errors in this guide. Step 9 seems to blast ahead beyond where we should be at this point of the guide.
All the videos I watch tell me to take the drive apart and use the old motherboard on the new drive, so it's the same old motherboard. But mine is broke so can I just use the same motherboard from the new drive?
No must change the board over or it will not work.Gregory Lansberry.
Did you not mention the fact that the drives won’t work unless programmed?
