Open The Case

First of all, we need to open up the Wl-HDD case.

If the WL-HDD is new, it may not have been screwed shut. In this case, the screws probably came in a sealed plastic bag.

If your WL-HDD has not yet been screwed shut, read this first.


To unscrew the case, you will need a 2.4mm crosspoint screwdriver.

  1. Remove both of the rubber screw covers
  2. Remove both of the screws and place somewhere safe
  3. Carefully pull on the front panel of the WL-HDD. The circuit board should come out of the casing.
  4. Be careful not to touch any of the circuitry and do not get any crumbs or dust on the board.
  5. Take the 2.5" hard disk drive and lie it on the supports stuck on the circuit board.
  6. Now, very slowly, push the hard disk into the mount, making sure that the pins line up perfectly and that they are not strained!
  7. Once the hard disk is in place, reinsert the circuit board into the casing.
  8. Ensure you do this with the circuit board the right way up, otherwise the hard disk will hang down on the pins alone!!
  9. Reinsert the screws and screw them in tightly.
  10. Place the rubber screw covers back in.
  11. Attach the antenna

Now just plug it in and off we go!
