replacement of the HDD?

check CDW, they usually stock laptop stuff pretty cheap.

My toshiba has been amazing minus the loose screen, and the hard drive did the same thing. Your best bet is to go on newegg and pick up a upgrade unit. It will cost you about $80 but it is quieter, more space and faster.

if you want me to pull the info from your drive send it to me…

and the hard drive should be:

flip it over… it will either be under s 3x2 inch plastic piece which is held on by little screws

or

the hdd is behind a plastic peice on the side, that is usually held on by one screw.

post a pic and i will tell you exactly…

also you will need a ide adapter to access the laptop dirve… they have 44 pins instead of 40

if u were in iraq, explain to toshiba that you couldnt take it in during the warrenty period because u were in iraq. they should help you out.
