A RARE 2004 JVC RELIC pc, AND ZERO FACTS FOUND ON TROPIC,HDD , THE ROUND BOTTOM HATCH IS DDR ONLY.
well the manual for your PC may cover this.
most do, for sure non JVC do , HP, Dell, Lenovo , real PCs
have good manuals, cheap ones do not, let me read your manual to you,if possible at all
lets to generic first ive done many brands but not JVC ever,
remove all bottom hatches first. (small covers first ) bingo hdd.
some PC the hdd caddy is side loaded, in tray and 2 screws held
if not there
all screws on the bottom removed now.
this also frees up the keyboard on my HPs
do know , that no 2 lap tops are the same, by year or models vast and evolve as fast as just 6 months.
full stop I now google for you now.
XP old nasty virus magnet oS.
40GB hdd, there. tiny, old and bad suRE IT IS.
okay FIRST HUGE MANUAL COVERS EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN BUT NOT ONE WORD HARD OR HDD. THERE.
TELL ONLY IT IS 40GB . YOUTUBE , ZERO INFO.
THE MANUAL IS HERE AT JVC , and useless on hdd topic.
does not cover dismantlement;
just some things removed, and never covers HDD .
im busted on JVC,
I do have lot of tricks,
screws under rubber feet"
screws on top lip of CD drive or must remove whole CD drive to see lip and screws
hidden screws in battery well.
seen too more screws here CD drive pulled (dvd) see screws here in the open cavity.
laptops can have 30- to 70 screws to remove. my dells are so easy. unlike this. thing.
