Compaq 5000 Series Assemble & Disassembling

The fall will likely damage them. Use the release latch on the right side of the LTE to
remove the battery.
2. Remove any media from the floppy drive.
3. After removing the battery and floppy/CD/2nd hard disk, remove the primary hard drive
from the computer. Place your LTE so it is resting on the port side. Look at the bottom of
the computer for a release tab and lock screw near the hard disk bay. If there is a locking
screw present, you must remove it before you can remove the hard disk. Open the hard
disk bay door, push the locking tab and pull the tab on the hard disk container. It should
slide out easily. If yours does not, double check to be sure that you've removed any
locking screws and that you have pressed the locking tab.
I would strongly recommend you set all of the LTE's storage devices far away from
the work area. Keep them away from magnets or other sources of possible damage.
Don't drop your drives or treat them harshly.
