Can't remove hard drive from veriton m410;

Gateway GT5056 Desktop Hard Drive Caddy Bracket Holder Mount HDD 2JB35 005

Look at this picture. It should look like the bracket your drive is mounted in. You must remove this caddy to get at the other 2 screws. above where you removed the 2 screws from the side of the drive, there should be a screw that holds this bracket to the frame. You must remove this screw. ALso there may be a spring loaded clip that stops the bracket from sliding out, you must lift or press this before sliding bracket.
good luck

No Way. ok, what's the make and model of your computer? Normally the hard drive is secured by screws that secure the bracket to the cradle or compartment that the drive sits in. After you remove the screws, then you will have to slide the drive backwards to get it unconnected from the interface, then just lift it out of the compartment.

I found this online, so hopefully it helps. It's to a page selling a second hard drive caddy for the 3623WXCi, but at the bottom is has directions on replacing the hard drive for that model as well.

Hi,

The hard drive is located under the CD/DVD drive. Before you start taking apart the laptop, remove the battery and unplug the AC power.

1. You have to remove the CD/DVD drive. Turn the laptop over. Remove one screw right above the dive and slide the drive out of the laptop.
2. When the CD/DVD drive is removed, you'll see a metal plate. The metal plate is secured by 4 screws. Remove them and lift up the plate from the bay. The hard drive is located right under the plate.
3. After you remove the plate, you'll see the hard drive. The hard drive also secured by 4 screws. Remove the screws, slide the hard dire to disconnect it from the connector on the moterboard and lift it up.
4. You have to transfer the brackets from the old hard drive to a new hard drive. Also, if there is a foil shielding around the old hard drive, you'll have to transfer it to a new hard drive too.

Hi friend,

You need to open the CPU both side then you need free hard drive by data cable and nut..then it will free ..you can use any computer..

With regards

You have to remove both sides of your tower, because the HDD needs to be fixed firmly

You may need to remove the front bezel before taking the drive from the bay. there are screws that latch the drive into place, and they are likely hitting the bezel on the way out. Most bezels pop off easily. You should consult Acer tech support for details.

The acer veriton m460 has three faulty capacitors. Check and see if you have bulgy capacitors. I have ten of these computers and all have three blown capacitors.
