Default Changing Hard Drive Aspire 1362 WLMi

on my 1640wmli, you remove the bottom HDD door, there is a silver tray, with
a pull tab and a single screw that is visible.

Is that after removing the screw? Is the screw under the keyboard? I can't
see anything in the way of a screw in what I think should be the right
area under the base of the machine. Is the screw visible without
dismantling any components?

the drive should pull out by the tab.

Sorry but I can't see any screws in the area at all. I have taken off
the memory cover and removed the memory in case the screw was hidden in
there but no joy.

Any other offers?

Thanks doS. I'll have another look with your advice in mind.

Thanks for the rapid response.

I'm faced with the task specified above.

From a previous thread it seems that the hard drive is situated in a
drawer behind the battery, this seems to be so in my case, though the
model I have is different to the previous thread.

The drawer has a clear plastic tag attached to it which seems to be
inviting a tug, the tug was duly applied but nothing seems to be
moving. Are there any screws which need removing or latches which
need to be released prior to removal, or am I merely not tugging hard
enough. Perhaps one of the previous correspondents, or someone else
who has experienced this task would be kind enough to advise me.

Thanks in advance for any useful advice.

Kind Regards

Mertyl
