I'm looking for guidance on the proper steps to safely mount or remove an M.2 SSD drive from my Acer Nitro 18 A-I laptop. I've heard that it's crucial to hold down the power button to drain any remaining electricity from the motherboard to prevent shorts. Are shorts a common concern during this process? While I know it's best practice to unplug the battery beforehand, I'm wondering about the risks if I were to skip that step. I recently purchased this laptop and need to access files from my old M.2 SSD. Any detailed advice on how to avoid potential problems would be greatly appreciated!
