    • Be sure to power off and unplug your device before you begin your repair.

    • Remove the twelve screws on the back cover using the Phillips #1 screwdriver.

    Not sure how you removed the back cover with a Philips head. Those are Torx screws. I actually came here to see what size Torx bit I need. Guess I won't find it here.

You highlighted some random spot for the hard drive but you should have highlighted the empty m.2 slot which doesn’t even require you to remove the battery.

Agreed. This guide is pointless. Just a random, inaccurate guess. Why even bother putting this together if you don't know what you're talking about.
