Introduction

This guide provides simple steps to replace the hard disk drive on the Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830T-6682 using minimal tools that can be acquired locally, or through iFixit. Please make sure and follow the prerequisite procedures.

Note 1: The hard drive used to make this guide is not original to the laptop, and only approximates screw locations.

Note 2: The Acer Aspire TimelineX 4830T-6682 battery requires the keyboard to be removed to gain access to disconnect it. For this reason, it is reasonable to replace the hard drive without removing the battery.

Thanks for the guide. Do you know how to detach the SATA cable from the motherboard? If not, I would really appreciate your help if you know where I should look for an answer. Thanks so much for your help!!

Jon Brunsell - Mar 4, 2020

Hello,

I am glad you were able to use the guide. The connector is about two centimeters under the cover on the back side of the motherboard. The SATA cable can be removed once the motherboard is detached from the frame.

Best regards,

Jon
