Hard drive replacement - guaranteed

Hello! My x 220 is currently in a repair center for what I suspect is a failing hard drive. Now, I know the standard warranty will only cover of the replacement hard drive. My main concern is that I understand that once the new hard drive is installed it is obligation of Lenovo filled. Then when asking how bad copy of windows from the old hard drive to the new hard drive service center say, they will have will be responsible as Lenovo does not cover this. I bought my
New laptop Lenovo live and as far as I know the recovery options all come with the hard drive which is due to be withdrawn until I do without having to pay a fortune to do something I could do myself service center? (Sorry if this doesn't make too much sense, I find my boring phone screen to review things)

The disk on the ThinkPads includes an application that creates a set of recovery DVD or a USB stick recovery with everything you need to restore new HARD drive in the same State of a whole new ThinkPad. (It is your responsibility to back up your applications and your data, of course). If you create a bootable DVD/USB recovery when you got your ThinkPad and Lenovo will sell you the media for about $50. Ask about this. You may be able to convince them to register this media free of charge when they return to your repaired X 220.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

    I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

  • I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    I had my hard drive replaced on my Toshiba lap top and my windows 7 is no longer considered as authentic code has rubbed off the sticker on the base of my lap top. Where can I find it?

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Hard drive replacement and warranty question Portege and Tecra models

    Good afternoon

    I'm hoping for a little clarity if a laptop warranty is invalidated if the hard drive is replaced for another title of model/difference. The company that I work buys models Tecra and Portege for these last years, if we decide to buy more large hard disks and get our IT Department install them will be that gap in the agreement of guarantee with Toshiba?

    I talked to Toshiba and they were a little gray in their response. They said that, if you didn't damage the laptop, it should be fine, but if you send it as an unrelated question, with what they can carry out repairs on the laptop if the hard drive does not match the orgional one provided...

    Can somone if this is the case? It seems ridiculous that you would not be able to replace the drive even if bought from an official and used dealer in a corporate environment.

    Kind regards

    Jonsey

    As much as I know RAM and HDD upgrade do not negate the warranty. For many models of laptops, you can find instruction how to do this. It is described in the document of the user s manual or you can find short videos on Toshiba documents (knowledge base).

    Even on this forum in the USER SELF REPLACEMENT section you will find instructions how to replace the hard drives.

    What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and check what they say on this subject.

  • iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.

    The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.

    Here's what I have on order:

    I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.

    I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.

    Cheers in advance

    Ian

    Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat).  The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.

    The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac.  Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).

    Good luck

  • Portege 4000 hard drive Replacement - what HARD drive is compatible?

    Is it possible to find a replacement for my Portege 4000 HARD drive, because the original becomes very capricious?

    Hi mate

    I think that the Portege 4000 is an elder and in my opinion this laptop supports a 2.5 HARD disk.
    I m not 100% sure, so I recommend you to install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition which would provide all the information on the HARD drive is internal.
    That would help you get a new, compatible HARD drive.

    Does anyone know hwo to find that info or what would be the maximum capacity for TECRA S3-153 PTS30E-0TD03S?

    Hello

    Tecra S3-153 supports the SATA controller.
    As far as I know that the SATA controller is not limited, so, theoretically, you should be able to use HARD drive sizes 2.5 SATA; 250 GB and more
