Got home tonight and my MacBook (purchased in 2006) was dead as in it can’t find it’s hard drive.
So, I did what I normally do and removed every screw I could find trying to get the hard drive out. After about 30 of the little suckers I looked up how to do it on Youtube. Then I learned I had removed the only 3 I needed to a LONG time ago and yanked on the slightly hidden tab to remove the hard drive bay.
Contacts are all tarnished. Great. Clean it up, shove it back in, push back enough of the 30 screws into the case to make myself comfortable (20 to go!) and fire it up.
Still dead.
So, I got a feeling I’ll be buying an Asus Eee pretty soon. Need to get the wife a new laptop too.
Just buy a new HD for it. That’s way cheaper than a whole new laptop.
