[QUOTE="kmac22, post: 732213, member: 68800"] I have a macbook that has a bad harddrive and was trying to follow some DIY instructions to put in a new replacement, and ofcourse the set i followed missed the step about removing the torx screws and replacing on the new one. i had already pushed it in, and without the white pull tab removing it is not easy! any ideas for what to use, i saw one blog said use thin tweezers, i have not powered on or tried anything, still exposed. suprisingly very little on the web about this issue, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who acted too quickly. Will it hurt my computer work case scenario to boot up and install discs without the metal shield on? any help is appreciated! [/QUOTE]
