Run-of-the-mill hard drive failure

My Problem
Increasingly poor performance, frequent beach balls. Ran Disk Utility - SMART check indicated 'FAILED'. Consensus on web fora was: The drive is dying, just get a new one.
This is a 15" Macbook Pro; I bought direct from Apple, refurbished.
Only 3 ½ years old, but I think it broke down because I dropped it one too many times :}
My Fix
Perfectly well. Sorry, didn't take any photos; I was consumed with doing it slowly and carefully, trying hard not to foul it up.
My Advice
Just follow the instructions carefully, make sure you're grounded, and don't touch anything you're not supposed to!
