Yes. Esp. if it's on my list of all compatible HDs for the Libretto (see my
site below, huge list). 9.5mm already says it'll work 99.999% sure.
Time for an easy HD upgrade!
eg. unscrew two screws on the HD plate, pull HD out, remove HD handle and put
onto new HD, push new HD in and off you go.
IMPORTANT NOTE: On the L50 models, the baby won't like a 9.5mm HD too much
until you take it apart and remove the foam spacers around the HD bay under the
black plastic sheeting you can see from the HD slot. The L50 models came with
8.45mm HDs, and while a 9.5mm HD can fit w/o removing the spacers (many have
done this by simply loosening the bottom screws a bit, squeeze the drive in,
then retighten a touch) - the problem is that the RAM chips on the MB just
above the HD area usually warp, then delaminate, leaving you with a useless
dead libretto. Once the foam spacers are gone, there's an extra 1mm of space
that'll take the 9.5mm HDs w/o any problems at all.
My site for the exploded parts view to take apart the Libretto to get rid of
the foam spacers.
