    Hi,

    How can I change the hard disk in Maxdata ECO 4000 A? Found the Hard Disk, but no idea, how to get it out. Do I have to remove the whole back of ma laptop, hope not?

    Cheers,

    Homer

    The HDD should be supported by a caddy, see if it has any screws - remove them, and carefully remove the HDD from the socket....and try not bend the pins on its adapter.. :D

    Hi,

    its in a caddy, yes, but it just so fits into a hole, so no idea what to do. Cannot see any screws....

    Try pulling that sheet-kind of thing out slowly and smoothly, and see if that works....!!
