Laptop HDs aren't complicated to replace.
There's a new computer store called Computer Direct on John R just south of
14 Mile between Wendy's and Firestone. They have a number of laptop HDs on
hand and will match or beat the prices of any other computer component
seller in the area.
They are a local Michigan company with plans on expanding to several
additional locations across South East Michigan. If you are going to buy a
new drive, give them a look, they intend on sticking around and investing in
Michigan.
Here's their website:
