    Hello, I recently got a Sony Vaio Sr-210J/H through some private deal...but when I got it I noticed that I got scammed and the laptop didn't have a Hard Drive :( . So, I buy a 250 Gb Hard Drive, I open the hard drive slot, and i notice that I don't have anywhere to connect the hard drive to. I finally found this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=283218
    which helped a lot and confirmed that i wasn't crazy. I'm missing the metal part and whatever connects the HDD to the motherboard. Does anyone have any idea where I could get the parts, or what to do? Any help is extremely appreciated, Thank you very much!

    You can call Sony and ask for that parts if you are in US or somewhere near Sony Service Center.
