The HDD on my Acer Aspire S3 conked out a couple of days ago. This is the first time I've had a laptop HDD crashed on me. With the right screw driver and a spare 2.5" 750GB Western Digital HDD lying around, I thought I could replace it myself. After a couple of hours struggling with the dozen or so screws, I managed to peel off the back cover and removed the damaged HDD. Problem though is that when I was placing the new HDD, it would not fit on the bay. Turns out my spare laptop HDD was thicker than the one on the Aspire S3. The highest capacity for this model is actually the 320GB used by the Aspire S3 which is from Hitachi. I now have to look for a 7mm thin HDD so I can fix the Aspire S3 and get back to my regular work schedule.
