    Hello

    I just got my dv8000z and try to get the NBHD 80 GB 7200 in the laptop (change the 4200 60 gb) so this is the only harddrive.. But i can not get the pins in. I need to push to hard... Is this harddrive maybe to big... or the pins ar to long..

    Where do i change the 1 gb dr333 in the laptop...


    Thanks dutchgirl

    You should be able to just point the pins down toward the connector and it should slide in, (shouldn't require much force) the RAM should be under another cover with 1 or two screws holding it on, but I don't have this specific model, so I'm not positive.
