[QUOTE="South Park, post: 898668, member: 73194"] I got a much better screwdriver, and that worked, so the drive cover finally came off. I was surprised to see that the drive itself was mounted with four tiny Phillips screws, unlike how it appeared on an instructional video. The first three screws came out easily ... but the head of fourth was completely stripped. I couldn't even get it to engage with a tiny flathead screwdriver, and my hand got hurt again, so I had to put it all back with the malfunctioning HDD in place. The new SSD (which seems to have cloned OK except it has two EFI partitions) sits in a box. So far I have not been able to get a local computer repair shop to give me a quote because they say they don't do small jobs like this. [/QUOTE]
