    Hi, I'd like to change hard disk on my Sony VAIO VGN-N19VP. Can you tell me how I can do that... some detailed instructions (maybe with pictures... or just simple text without pictures but more detailed) :confused: ... thank you :)

    If you have your service manual handy...it should be in there if you want to check it out.

    Exactly. Usually its not that hard as all you do is take a panel off and switch them out :)

    If i were you I would get some specialized assistance AKA post this in the Sony Discussion. I have no idea how to change the HDD in that model nor any of the Vaio's. So either post this in the Sony forum or PM one of the Mod's to move this for you :)
