• Pavilion 15-p253nh: I'm going to lose warranty if I replace my HARD drive on my own?

  Hello!

  I'm curious to know that if I replaced my laptop HARD drive, would I lose my warranty? I have a Pavilion 15-p253nh which is not a separate removable bottom panel for RAM or HARD disk. Do I have to disassemble my laptop to replace the HARD drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello:

  While I do not work for or represent HP, I would say that Yes, the warranty will be void if you replace the hard drive yourself.

  It is because according to the guide of maintenance and maintenance for your model on the link below, replace the HARD disk is a task only must be performed by an authorized service provider.

• Should I replace my hard drive of my MacBook Pro?

  I'm trying to decide if I need to replace the hard drive of my MacBook Pro (mid 2009) with a new... or

  Buy a refurbished MacBook Pro?

  I'm afraid that if something is not Apple does not work on it because I have installed by a third party.  If I bought a refurbished Apple, they cover with the warranty...

  I can't afford a brand new...

  I have someone else would install so I do not need instructions...

  Any opinions?

  Thank you

  Replacing the drive does not cancel any warranty... you got the instructions with your system to replace the RAM and HD.  The only thing the Genius Bar should do is charge you for repairing the damage you cause change RAM and HD.  But... I changed the two enough times to know that it takes every inch to do this.

  iFixit.com has instructions for changing the RAM and HD.  Or an Apple authorized qualified service center.

  OWC (macsales.com) door RAM and SSD (more expensive, faster) and HDs (less expensive, slower) that can stabilize your system.  HD + RAM would be about $200, add in $100 extra for disk backup and external fixation for the reader.  You can do it.

• Replacing the hard drive HP G62-450SA model / recovery. Windows 7

  Hello

  Last week my laptop started running very slowly, and after a few tests, it seems that the hard drive is on its way.

  I phoned to HP supports, however is out of warranty I wasn't able to get a real support, but advised him to watch the online support pages to back up my files, create a file recovery on a usb device and then it would be as simple as taking on the old hard drive, put in the new, and following the instructions to recover my system and files.

  So after these tips, I've created:

  -A recovery image USB on a Virgin USB key, using the Recovery Manager

  -A backup on an external hard drive using the backup and restore

  -An image of the system by using the backup and restore.

  Then I replaced the hard drive.

  When I turned on the laptop all I get is a black screen that says "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any key".

  I have not all discs. I thought that was the point of creating the recovery image on the USB key? I insert the USB key, and it is not recognized.

  If at this point, I'm stuck. I'm not all boards because HP say they have to charge me.

  Please can anyone here tell me what to do next? What I need to buy recovery discs or is there a way I can install the new hard drive by using the above files?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You are welcome

  Another option, you can try would be to restore the system image you created - you can do the following.

  If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Windows 7 64 bit

  You must use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

  When creating, type following the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu, and then insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  Connect the drive that contains the system image you have created and then follow method 3 below to reload the image on the new HARD drive.

• Replace the hard drive and memory - guaranteed?

  Recently, I replaced the hard drive on the Wyvern with a 640 GB WD Scorpio Blue after finding that the Toshiba disk stock was reallocating too many sectors (readers are functionally identical), and memory has been updated there is a 2 x 4 GB G.SKILL Kit (from stock 1x4Go, 1x2GB).  My laptop now needs to be repaired for hardware problems totally unrelated to these parties (specifically, one damaged USB and Ethernet Jack).  Overall coverage is affected by these parts or these replacements continue to allow outside replaced part complete warranty coverage?  (The Service Manual indicates that both of these parts are replaceable by the user.)

  Watch more closely the warranty conditions and found:

  This limited warranty [...] does not extend to any product [...] that has been damaged or rendered defective [...] (g) by modification or service by a person who [...] (iii) your own installation of end-user replaceable HP or HP parts if available for your product in the country or region maintenance. [...]

  The way I read the warranty conditions, the conditions above may apply, because the parts are not 'HP or HP approved parts', but only if the defect is actually caused by the replacement of these parts.  In addition, the Federal law stipulates that the simple use of third parties do not void a warranty (15 USC §2302 (c); Please note that I am not a lawyer).

  Anyone else agree or disagree with that?

• Replace the hard drive

  Hello

  I have a HP TouchSmart IQ826T and the warranty has expired. I had a hard drive failure and after you run several tests and diagnostic tests have determined that I need to replace the hard drive.

  My question is that I currently have a Seagate ST3500620AS 500 MB drive installed in my PC and I was wondering if I could change it to a hard drive more large capacity.

  I'm not an expert, but a novice all help from the forum would be greatly appreciated.

  I am running Windows 7.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello:

  According to the page on the card to your PC, you can ride on a 1 TB drive.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01640567

  I don't know why HP dropped the rpm on a 1 TB drive. I think a disk 7 200 rpm would be nice too.

• I plan to replace my hard drive in a Dell Inspiron 6000, OS need?

  I think that I searched on and found good info on replacing the hard drive itself and some of the "limits" of GB size/use... (137 GB)

  He was my son (RIP), laptop and I would like to make it work again. Long gone are my CD of installation so I, guess I ask what operating system can or would be better? It's XP 2005... and how do I purchase/download. Is there an available bundle?

  The disk is probably not a problem when it comes to Windows 7 is. Problems with installing Windows 7 (material) are more likely to be the motherboard, processor, and memory. Software problems can also come to light.

  If your old drive is now just a paperwieght, while the new drive must be of the same type as the original, i.e. SATA or PATA (IDE). I use 'black' all WD SATA disks where I can because of the 5-year warranty, but they cost more. I don't know if there is any PATA WD drives available now, or what the guarantee is if there are.

  To install XP, you will need to use all media provided by Dell for this purpose, or contact Dell for replacements.

  Without having to install XP to download and run the Windows 7/8 upgrade advisor you will need to allow hardware and software research yourself.

  Hello

  Browse the following documents carefully & follow him.

  Test a HDD in BIOS ; Laptops HP - how to run the hard drive Test

  Hard disk failure errors

  Test the hard drive by using SMART

  Normally the HP disk HARD Selft Test works well, but the information stored in S.M.A.R.T indicates that your HARD drive will fail.

  It seems the automatic test crashes if there is a bad sector that has not yet been remapped. If you back up all your data before performing a full format on the disc it will fix the problem (assuming it's the same problem I had). In the meantime, I would check what are the SMART test results... you may have a faulty hard drive. (one or two bad sectors are not as bad as HP are affected because these will be remapped as soon as a write is attempted on them).

  If it gets corrupted, go for another one again.

  First of all trying to read the above documents and try to do it again.

  You can at any retail Branded 2.5 "SATA HDD 9.5 mm thickness, 1 TB will be OK - no problem with that.

  Looking at the Manual - Page 59-61, the replacement procedure is not just easy to him if you're not used to it, needs great disassembly & may void the warranty if you do it yourself if under warranty. You can Contact HP for this.

  This would be nice.

  HP would replace the HARD drive for free, if that came with the laptop failed in respect of the warranty period.

• Need to replace my hard drive, no response from hp in 5 days

  Hello

  I bought a HP Pavilion Touchsmart 15b146ef in France a few months (still under warranty) and my hard drive now dead. I ran a test drive hard short check DST failed with following failure ID: 60D5XV-6MQ6TA-MFPWW1-60QX03. It is an error 303, which means that I have no choice but to replace my HARD drive. The problem is that I'm in Sweden for my studies and no HP is able to help me (in France and Sweden).
  What can I do? Does anyone have a direct contact by email that I could use to talk with the assistance of HP Sweden?

  Thanks for reading and responding if possible

  I can't reach the HP Sweden Helpdesk (I tried 5 long days). Do you have any contact? Sorry but NO, I have no information other than what is publicly available contact.

  And I don't have any driver CD/DVD on my computer, how can I do without having to buy an external CD/DVD drive? On today's computers, a 32 GB USB Flash Drive can replace the recovery disks. If the computer can start again and the recovery partition is not damaged, you may be able to create a recovery USB Flash drive.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• (Redirected) Warranty hard drive issue

  Hello

  New to the forum here, but I need some clarification of a Dell representative on this forum.

  I recently bought a 2 in 1 new Inspiron 13 7347 and I wanted to update the hard drive for an SSD.  The representative of sales at Microcenter told me to check if it could void the warranty before installing, so I called the help line.  I was told that if I bought the disc SSD from Dell and installed myself (there are instructions published for that on this site) would not invalidate the warranty.  If I installed an SSD not purchased from Dell, may void the warranty on all of the computer.  There is no sense to me, so I ended up talking to a customer service agent in the sales department who told me the same thing and quote an equivalent disk for a huge slice of $390 (3 x what I paid).

  I did some research here and found this post from a few years ago that uses little common sense that everything you are replacing is not covered:

  [See:en.community.dell.com/.../19435880:550:0]

  Can someone with Dell please specify this?  I understand that if I replace the disc and the disc breaks down, it's my responsibility.  But, I do not understand how to replace the hard drive could void the warranty on the remaining parts of the computer (ie the touch screen).

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• Need to replace the hard drive on laptop G56

  Hi all

  I have a hp g56-108sa laptop. I had the hard drive replaced once under warranty and there yet again, but I don't want to not wait 10 days so he could be replaced again if I want to get a new drive hard but with a greater capacity (mine is 250 GB and I'm looking for ay buying a 320 GB one) , and I want to replace. Is this feasible?

  I ordered a few partners hp recovery disks that I stupidly didn't create a when I had the chance. The reason I ask this question, it is that I've read that other people have had problems by replacing the original drive with the largest on laptops

  Thank you in anticipation

  Hello

  You should have no problem with a 320 GB HARD drive, the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 320 GB

  The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, just use the recovery disks you ordered to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - they will also recreate the Partition D of recovery on the new HARD drive.

  Kind regards

• Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

  Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

  or would it be too expensive?

  Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

  Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?

  FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

• Replace the HARD drive in mid-2012 MBP of SSD?

  Given to replace my HARD drive of 1 TB in MBP mid-2012.  This MBP has already been customized (by Apple) to 2.9 GHz i7 8 GB mem.

  I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:

  Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB 2.5 inch SATA III internal SSD (MZ-75E1T0B/AM)

  IS it really that simple, as suggested by some video: current copy to SSD connected externally, than to go ahead with replacement? Then you can continue normal OSX updates as usual?

  Is it really worth?

  Yes, I do some "prosumer" video (FCP) and audio (Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) - and use external USB 3 HARD drive.

  Yes, it was worth it. The difference between day and night.

  It's easy. How to create a clone of startup

  I don't know Samsung but 2.5 "is inside that you need, SATA III Yes.
