MSI GS63VR 7RF Stealth Pro SSD Replacement

Introduzione

Solid state drives are built to make the device super fast. Don't be content waiting minutes for something that would take seconds. If you believe you need to replace your SSD, here is how to do it.

    • Use the spudger to separate the back plate from the rest of the computer with the screen up like in the picture.

    • Once the back plate is loose, close the screen for an easier time properly removing it.

    • Using a Phillips Head #1 screwdriver, unscrew the 15 screws on the bottom of the device

    • After all the screws are unscrewed, remove the bottom plate. If this is the first time that you are removing this back cover, the last screw is hidden under the "factory seal" label. You will need to break that label to reach that screw.

    • Keep track of all the screws and which slot they came from, as they slightly differ. We recommend this system: lay out on a piece of paper and pretending the paper is the device. Place the screws on the paper approximately where they would go.

    • Another method for keeping track of all the screws would be to secure each removed screw near the hole that it was removed from with a piece of painters or masking tape. This type of tape is easy to remove from the fuzzy surface but strong enough to secure the screw to the back cover.

    • Locate the battery.

    • Wedge the spudger underneath the battery, and apply pressure to lift it away from the rest of the device.

    • Gently pull and wiggle the multiple colored wired connector out from the socket.

    • If you are removing the original battery, the back has a couple foam strips that were installed for cushioning. Those can be carefully removed and placed on the new replacement battery, but it is not necessary.

This was not super hard. I’d say moderate since the mobo needs little finesse to pull out. Some firm gentleness.

Thanks. I’ve seen some videos on YouTube regarding the MSI Stealth Pro GS63VR. This helps a lot.

I notice the stock SSD is an M-B key type. Does the board support M-key SSDs?

This was a great guide. My only suggestion for Step 9 would be to clarify removing the wifi chip. I found that lifting the motherboard helped me better access the chip for removal. It’s a tight fit.

Thanks for the guide, I need some replacement screws for my MSI GS73VR Stealth Pro. Any idea what size they are? Or where I could find out? Thanks you, I’d really appreciate any help!
