Introduction

This guide will show the replacement of the solid state drive (SSD) of the Samsung ATIV Book 9 NP900X3K-S01US.

Tools

Step 1

Remove ten Phillips #00 screws from the back panel.
Remove the back panel.

Step 2

Unscrew the five Phillips #00 screws which connect the battery to the frame of the laptop.
Lift the battery from the bottom edge, taking care as it is disconnected from the motherboard.
During reassembly, insert the top edge of the battery first, aligning the pins of the battery with the pins of the motherboard connection.

Step 3

Remove the interconnect ribbon cable labeled “main” and “sub” by prying the pin connections up with a spudger or plastic opening tool.

Step 4

Remove the single screw holding down the SSD with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Remove the SSD from its slot located to the right, just above the battery.

At Step 4, the location outlined with orange rectangle is not the place for the SSD, the actual location is just above it, in the 30x50mm place for the mSATA/mini SATA SSD under the interconnect ribbon cable removed at Step 3.
