Admiral Michael Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 From the pic it looks like it's under the middle cover. It looks like theres 3 "platters" on the cover between the 2 screws.

mezoko Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 If you open up all the slots nothing bad would happen, one should be a minipci card (probably your wireless), the other should be the ram, and the last should be the hard drive. I see that you already found the battery!

gigapixels Veteran Posted November 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think that's one of the Toshiba's with the hard drive under the keyboard... But I could be wrong.

Shof Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 How do you "under the keyboard" when there are no screws? Oh they are screws, atleast 10+ litte black screws. Look careful because they are abit hidden since they are black, and the base is black, along with being very small or you have to remove things like rubber feet or pop the palm rest off Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/600875-i-cant-find-my-laptops-hard-drive/#findComment-588993118 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted November 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 14, 2007 How do you "under the keyboard" when there are no screws? Tilt your screen all the way back, so it's practically flat... The plastic piece above the keyboard is the same one covering the hinges; it should pop off with a little bit of effort. Once you take that piece off, you'll see the screws.

samg Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Any screws on the base (in piccie) labelled K, undo those. Flip it back over. between the keyboard and screen is a plastic strip. This SHOULD ping off. Dont try too hard! Under that its proberly self explainatory. Should be some screws in keyboard brackets. Then the HDD will be under there.
