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 ---
