    My TM8000's hard drive recently died on me, and I'm attempting to replace the hard drive. I located it beneath the sound card ports, but at this point I cannot find a way to get the hard drive to come out. Is there something I'm missing that can help me remove the hard drive, or do I have to open up the entire laptop? Can somebody give me a hand here, please?

    Thanks.

    Usually there is a screw or two to remove and slide it out.

    Thanks for the info, but I can't seem to find this screw...I can see the hard drive and its casing, but no screw to remove (just the ends of screws...the "butts" as opposed to the "heads").
