The internal IDE hard drive in the Stylistic ST5000 Tablet PC can be removed and replaced, if necessary.
Removing the Hard Drive 6
To remove the hard drive from the Tablet PC,
1. Close all applications and shut down the system completely.
2. Using a Phillips screw driver, remove the three screws in the WLAN/hard drive cover plate (see Figure 6-1. for
location). Slide the cover plate slightly towards the edge of the system to disengage it. Remove the cover.

3. Carefully disconnect the small connector by pulling upwards (reference Figure 6-3). Use care when disconnecting
this connector; it is attached to a delicate flex cable.
4. Using your thumbs, push up the two corners of the hard drive (at the locations indicated in Figure 6-4). Lift the
drive out of the system.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the hard drive.
• Do not remove any labels from the hard drive.
• Hard drive replacement should only be performed at a static-free workstation. Avoid touching
connector pins and circuit boards on the drive or Tablet PC. Electrostatic discharge caused by doing
so can damage sensitive components.
Do not pull the tab on the flex cable connector when lifting the drive. Doing so could damage the flex
cable; it is fragile.
