What’s a computer hard drive look like

[paddythegreek]

Ok apologies as this is not pinball related but we’ve got a laptop instead of the screen/keyboard and tower. I want to remove the hard drive before I dump the tower but have no idea which bit is the hard drive.
yea probably a stoooopid question to you tech savvy guys but I ain’t got a clue. Thanks Ken

If its on a laptop it might slide out from the side. Depends on the laptop. Some are not designed to be opened up.

You just unscrew a couple of Philips screws and disconnect the data cable and power cable.
Watch out or you will get electrocuted ———- only joking
