Finally went for it! With a two handed grip and a good steady pull out she
came, the carrier with the hard drive in it, no screws holding the carrier
into the case at all, only the friction of the connector pins into their
receptacles. Hard drive cannot go anywhere with the battery fitted in any
case so no need for any addition means of securing it into position.

Thanks doS.

Thanks for your involvement so far.

From the exploded view I have of my lappie there is an item which fits
inside the tray called the cradle and it is into this that the HDD fits.
The exploded view is so small and poorly defined as to be almost
useless - no doubt you've seen them yourself.

There is no HDD access door on my machine, only the end of the tray/
cradle assembly is visible when the battery is removed and, alas, no
screw. The two access panels that are on the base give entry to the RAM
and to what appears to be the wireless module.

Will arrange photo(s) and send.

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?

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 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
