I have an Aspire V3-575T Laptop and want to replace the HDD with a SanDisk SSD Plus 480GB solid state hard drive. I already have the new drive and would like to do it myself. Unlike some laptops it appears on this model, the HDD and Battery are sealed within the laptop and the entire back side would need to be removed to get access. Does anyone know if the HDD is accessible once the back side panel is opened?

Hi,
Yes, when you remove the back cover you can access the HDD, you should pay attention to a cable connected to MB and the back cover, it's shown in Fig7 and 8 in the link below, once the screws are removed, separate the back cover slowly, watch the video and familiarise with the procedure.
