The Toshiba Satellite C55D-A5107 15.6-inch laptop PC won’t impress you with design nor performance, but it’s a solidly built machine with enough computing muscle for day-to-day tasks and multimedia and has a generous data storage space. This laptop is backed by the AMD A6-5200 quad-core processor, which shouldn’t be mistaken for far more powerful Intel i7 quad-core chips, standardly-sized 4GB of RAM, and a 750GB large hard drive. The 1366×768 pixel display is powered by the AMD Radeon HD 8400, which is not a dedicated video card but can provide some gaming potential on low game detail settings and low resolutions. There’s a DVD burner built-in, as well as a full-array of ports and connectivity features, except Bluetooth which is missing. The C55D-A5107 is encased in utilitarian-looking chassis in black color with matte finish.

    I’m trying to remove the hard drive, but after I removed the small screw and popped the corner out, I was unable to remove the other half. How can I remove the hard drive without breaking it in half? I noticed the small snaps beneath the piece, so, I’m wondering why it won’t snap out of place. Thank you.
