If you wanted to take THAT argument to its logical conclusion, we should all get our hard drives replaced professionally. ALL do-it-yourself hardware upgrades are risky. The amount of risk involved is directly proportional to the deviation of the upgrade from standard and inversely proportional to the upgrader's skill level. If you know what you're doing then you can afford to do slightly freaky things like solder to the motherboard or file away bits of case to make things fit. If you're not then you should stick to 8.5mm hard drives so you don't need to risk opening the case and removing the spacers. What I do NOT get however is how a 9.5mm hard drive can cause damage if its a loose drop fit into the case (after removing all the necessary junk of course). Perhaps you could shed some light on this one ... were the HDD's in the failed libbys loose drop fits into the case or did they still need to be pushed in with a reasonable amount of force? - Raymond P.S. FWIW my L50 now has a 8.5mm hard drive in it (my L100 came with an 8.5mm 2 gighard drive) and now belongs to my sister ... my L100 has the 9.5mm 20 gig hard drive that was in my L50, THAT is a REALLY REALLY loose drop fit, so loose that I'm tempted to put a (much thinner than normal) spacer under it so it doesn't wobble around quite as much as it does now. --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
