Laptop hard drive GRINDING.....anyone seen any nice deals lately?
 

My laptop hard drive is gunna go pretty soon...it does this grinding thing about once every week or two...and the computer freezes up while it does it

anyone seen any kickass deals lately?

I've found that they usually don't have deals on laptop hds as they do with normal desktop harddrives with the insane rebates and stuff.

I always buy laptop drives from either newegg.com or zipzoomfly.com.

check ubid.com, i just got my desktop from there for cheap.

www.apple.com :pimp

yeah, i have been looking around and I have yet to see a nice rebate anywhere

I live 1 mile from www.monarchcomputer.com , I might go up there tomorrow and see if they will cut me a nice deal

Back that up asap..she's going to kick anytime now

newegg.com :thumbsup

I did that last week...I am running files over the network til I get it fixed

I like to tinker with broken shit. wanna sell the old one once it goes?

probably...I honestly will probably have it replaced before it finally goes....it just won't be stable

I just ordered a new one off newegg, 80gb for $79

The Western Digital Scorpio? I picked one up a month ago myself. If so, you might want to download the format utility from Western Digital and make a utlity disk. Windows format did not work w/ my drive.

yup, that;s the one

thanks for the tip!

:thumbsup I'd start bugging if that shit happened to me...

check out dealnews

its easy to replace a laptop hard drive you can probly go buy a new 120gb one for $150 or a 80GB for -$100 and whack it in yourself

2.5" drive

get a small screwdriver kit and try it - if the bottom panel don't come off approach from the top and if tis stuck around the bit what holds the monitor on try popping the housing that creeps up the monitor bit off to the side

OK!

That sucks man, sorry to hear that.

my hard drive slides out the side of my laptop...I just undo the latch and it pops out...they made it that way so I could have multiple drives if I wanted to

and btw, I am a hardware tech...so, I know how to build and mod shit in a professional manner ;)

Check the local laptop repair stores.

Grinding? Put on some reggae and turn down the lights.

mine grinds alot, doesnt mean its going to die...
