RE: [OT] Sony Vaio VGN-A service manual

Thanks guys for the info and link ..

Unfortunately been there .. done that ..

The HD is not under the keyboard ....

I think it is under the left hand handrest.

Therefore I think if I attempted to remove it I would void the warranty?

Bugger.

Manual here:
http://www.vaio-link.com/manuals/manuals.asp?l=en&m=1543

Note: the manual only describes upgrading memory and not hdd so I
wonder if it is not upgradable?
