Well, thanks! Because the video didn't show that there were 4 other screws holding the drive in place, I thought my Precision was broken, so I accidentally pried off the hard drive cover panel. Now, I can't get it out at all. Thanks a lot.

It's been a while since you posted this, but have you been able to fix it by just changing the caddy? Or was the chassis deformed? I have recently bought a Dell 6800 and the tray seems damaged by someone who tried to extract the tray without unscrewing it first (a short video of the exterior is on my channel)

@@dossierEON I'm going to be completely honest, I forgot about this entirely. However, I think that I fixed it by just using the "broken" caddy. I took a look at your video, and it looks like someone did the same exact thing as me, except the plastic is not entirely broken. It will be fine, and if it bothers you, I suppose you could try to carefully remove the rest of the plastic and glue it with Gorilla Glue or something.

I have made many errors when servicing machines in past. One note: Always research by using 2 or 3 sources to confirm when doing these type of repairs/upgrades. Check twice before removing hardware. Also, manufacturer documentation always best source.

I like how, between slapping the new drive in the tray and pulling off the large portion of the back cover, suddenly the tabs that hold the back cover in are exposed (around 30 seconds in, look at the lower right). These things shouldn't have to be forced, the reason I watch these kinds of things is to make sure I'm doing it without forcing anything. The main part of the cover slides backwards, but in the video it just pops off, easy-peasy - that's because there's a cut that doesn't show the cover being removed the first time.

Yes... do exactly like this guy if you like scratches on the top of your 3000.00 laptop. I recommend you get a dark red green or blue full size towel, lay it out on the table top and do your work on that. It serves multiple purposes. It keeps your expensive laptop from getting scratched, it keeps your tiny screws from bouncing off the table top on to the floor and diapering and it also keeps your screws from rolling away after removed. The dark color makes the screws easy to see. Try it.

You do all the steps correctly but not in the right order. First remove battery, then bottom cover. Then 4 screws that hold the drive in which I am puzzled why yours did not have a drive. After the drive caddy screws, remove very small screw on thumb latch release and pop, out comes the drive. You really should correct this video.
