It's nice to have a fresh HDD in a way. I never realised how much rubbish I had on the old one and only lost a few things that weren't too important, thankfully. Will do!

To my surprise, the HDD came today. She's running up as strong as ever now! Nice to have a fresh install also. Thanks for the previous advice! *RELIEF* Luke

Will do. DHL being slow with the shipping lol. Ironically it's only 40 minutes up the road - just in Compton, so I'll wait ha.

Yeah I located it fine - my screws were under the rubber rests which is a bit silly, but makes for a clean design I suppose! I bought this from XoticPC January last year - little I knew my warranty is 24 months! Hopefully they can sort it. Appreciate your help mate! Luke

I don't suppose you could recommend an HDD? Never bought an internal one. Also, would I need to buy a new Win7? My serial is on the bottom of my laptop but not sure if it'll work. I'm assuming I'll need to take my keyboard off to access the HDD too.

I just opened the disk drive and left it open during a start up. Noticed its now completely silent! No HDD noise.. Nothing apart from the fan that eventually kicks in. Normally my HDD makes a sound when starting up and when shutting down. Seems possibly failed?

Zero luck there too! Luke

Title says it all. I've tried nearly every trick I could find online and from friends to possibly clear this or get BIOS up. Been unsuccessful in all cases... Haven't installed any updates in about a week - nothing externally is connected such as SD card/USB/HDMI/DVD. Laptop is an Asus N53SM...
