My Problem

The hard drive crashed and was not going to spend the money for a new computer.

My Fix

The actual replacement of parts was easy, the re configuring and restoring files was a bit trying . I am not a computer guy, I am a race car mechanic, nuts and bolts are easy-peasy. All the reloading of software and recovering of files took about four hours, the drive took less than hour. Everything is working, so I am thinking of trying more of these kinds of repairs. Could be good, could be bad.

My Advice

Go at these things with an open mind, the piece does not work before you start so it can only get better!
