[title] Remove the SSD
[* icon_note] Two thermal pads bond the bottom of the SSD to the motherboard. Depending on their age and condition, it may take some force to separate the SSD from the pads.
[* black] Grip the SSD by its edges near the screw notch and lift to separate it from the thermal pads underneath—it should pop up at a slight angle.
- [* icon_caution] Be very careful when lifting the SSD. If it detaches expectedly, you may pull up too hard and damage the socket.
- [* icon_note] If the SSD isn't budging, try using the flat edge of a spudger to pry up the edge with the screw notch.
+ [* icon_caution] Lift with gradual force. If the SSD detaches from the pads unexpectedly, you may pull up too hard and damage the socket.
+ [* icon_note] If the SSD isn't budging, try using the flat end of a spudger to pry up the edge of the SSD with the screw notch.
