My laptop hard drive packed up a few weeks back and couldnt be botherd paying the £100+ to get a new one fitted,

How easy are they to fit? are they anything like fitting a pc hard drive simple plug in and away to go?

I know my far share about computers but when it comes to laptops im not 100% sure

there should be a couple of screws holding on a cover on the bottom and a couple of screws holding the hdd in place then a small block connector to unclip and then the new one should go in.

Some laptops won't have a removable panel for the HDD. Mine didn't. Had to take the entire thing apart.
