The first day of a 9 day road trip I got the BSOD on my Latitude x300
and it hasn't booted since. I suspect the HD may need replacement.
Without going into all the symptoms and diagnosis steps here (I've got
help with that coming, actually) - if it DOES prove necessary to
replace the hard drive, I'd love some help with that.
1. Source for a replacement drive? Mail-order or otherwise, in the US?
2. Process for removing/installing? I've found a few websites where
someone has done the whole take-photos-document-the-tricky-bits in a
laptop but haven't found it for the x300 specifically. Is that
removable panel on the underside where we start? I've done this
replacement on a desktop machine, but never on a laptop and so am a bit
intimidated, but am eager to do it myself!
Thanks!
