Dell Inspiron M5010 hard drive replacement
Dell Inspiron M5010 hard drive replacement – not for the regular user.

Lately, we had a pink Dell Inspiron M5010 which was brought for a hard drive replacement. This notebook has a bit strange design. Its hard drive can not be reached by just taking of a few screws and a plastic cover. It is hidden inside the machine, and the only way to replace it is by taking it apart.

Recently, we had an HP Compaq 615 notebook, brought to us for a clean up. The notebook was left next to a candle on Valentine’s Day, and its display lid got melted a bit – forming a spot on its 15.6-inch WXGA LED backlit display (still working and visible).
Lenovo ThinkPad T61 notebook fan error-Part 2
A Lenovo ThinkPad T61 notebook was brought at Laptoport, with a “fan error” problem.

When this Lenovo ThinkPad T61 notebook is switched on, it beeps two times, after displays a “fan error” (faulty fan), then beeps again and shuts down. We’ve already opened that notebook and cleaned its non-spinning fan, but that did not fix the error (photos of our first opening and clean-up are published in – Part 1). So, we’ve ordered a compatible replacement part (MCF-216PAM05, 42W2463, 42W2462/ MCF-217PAM05, 42W2461, 42W2460).
