I've been looking for this vid for a while.
You can change or upgrade the Hdd, RAM memory, and optical drive without this full removal. For HDD and RAM just remove battery then hold down Power button (10 sec or more) to discharge any extra elec. then remove 2 screw cover.
For optical it's even easier. That comes out with just the screw in the middle of laptop back. Remove this then just lightly pull out drive from side. Don't remove just after using much as drive gets hot and can actually expand or warp a little and won't remove.
(NOT KIDDING...> note the way the screw hold is orientated when attached to back of optical drive this is a BIG pain if you put it back on upside down.
This is a Msata installation vid, You have to open the case to do so, and will have access to everything else.
( GL551 uses mSATA "mini" 30 mm LENGTH. The half size 50 mm's L are 30 mm Wide (confusing) so check size specs. I've really seen up to 128GB in this size) with no room for full or half on this MOBO
😞 If you find bigger please reply!
Be careful especially when detaching Lan wires, tab by battery compartment, separating keyboard. Take your time..remember or write down different size screw locations.
