Hi...

Does anyone know how to remove/replace the hard drive in a Sony Vaio VGN
A197XP laptop
(http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/notebooks/0,39023985,39160676,00.htm)?

Or even better, where I can donwload a service manual that shows me how to
open it up?

Thanks!
-Alex

Do a Google search for Sony Vaio VGN A197XP user manual, carefully
scroll through the results, select your notebook & download it. It is
in PDF format.

Er I think you may have misread, Mick. He said Service Manual - this
*would* have details on replacing HD.
