Removing Hard drive from Toshiba A75-S125

pgmrdude · 11-03-2009, 05:51 PM

Hey all,
This is bizarre! I have removed many hard drives from laptops, but after removing the 2 screws for the HD cover, I still cannot remove the black plastic cover to access the HD. Is there a secret??? Also, does anyone know where I can get an actual manual (not a user guide) for this bad boy? Toshiba was NO help.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks. Actually that is the sight I got the initial info from. All it says is remove the 2 screws, which of course, I did not need to be told to do. However, this is the first time ever that even with the only 2 screws removed, it is hanging on something and will NOT come off. I have tried pushing forward and backwards, slightly lifting one side and then the other to see if some tab is there - no effect. It will not budge! First ever, and really strange...

You just need to pry up on the cover near where the screws were. The cover snaps into place, some of them can be a bit of a pain.
