Seem a number of screws to handle.. and notice it dis-connect the battery wires before proceeding.
Remember on how you remove and when re-fix it will be in reverse order.

If by sticky strip you mean the top horizontal 'bar' on the image you attached, it's an EMI gasket. Used to connect two conductive metals together to reduce e/m emissions from the laptop. Shouldn't make much difference if you left it out.
Yes yes I meant that and I left it out. If the screws are slanted by abit when I screw it to my new SSD would it be an issue?
Hi my laptop has an faulty 256 GB SSD.
I have already paid $60 to do a diagnostic with the service centre and now they came back with a quotation of $328 to replace.
Should I get a new SSD from SIM LIM and change it myself? But for the new copy of windows 10 is there any way I can download using my serial number of my laptop etc? I need more detail help thanks
you can buy a copy of recovery CD from the sevice ctr
Congratulation on successful replacement of SSD and Windows 10 activation!
If the SSD is unable to move about it should be safe enough.
As for that piece of sticky strip it is best to put it as it is since it could be design for a specific purpose.
My laptops do not have such strip as the SSD location is independently covered & secured, unlike yours.
I been re-installing countless of times of my macbook bootcamp once installed the key already tied up with your laptop..
so when you install it you dont need to key in serial number just skip that process and connect to an internet so long as no major changes on hardware it should get activated (If im right)
QFT.
The EMI gasket is something you shouldn't leave out either... can always get some cheap cheap one from china
Doesn't matter whether using SSD or HDD, put the cushion strip back to the default location.
Although the SSD does not vibrate, the strip is there to take out the space and cushion the drive in the event of hard knock. Without the cushion, the strain will concentrate at the screw holes and probably crack the plastic stub holding the brass nut.
That strip is not function as EMI shield.
Can I remove and paste the strip back onto my new SSD?
Yes do paste the strip back to the new SSD.
And do the same for the silver wrapping to simply paste/sticky on the new SSD too.
Your laptop cover is one big one as no individual covers for each components.
Hence items like strip & silver wrapping are means to protect.
If you notice in one of the video the SSD is in protected case where yours do not have which in place it use the silver wrapping thing.
That's why what you remove and then need to put back accordingly.
This is basic understanding.
just return everything to the same position for best protection.
srsly, it's like learning to fit a condom over your dic*head
