Would you send me a guide to open or replace the hard drive on my tz 240 vaio? Thank you in advance. Efreen text/html 2008-02-17T00:10:54-05:00 Tool Tucker http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/70728/#0 Had the worst day. Replaced the broken screen in my Sony Vaio TZ with a brand new identical screen imported from Japan. Other than having some black marks around the crack the machine was working perfectly.<br /> <br /> The bezel came off easily enough, as did the single connector. I soon had the LCD (LED actually) out and was manoeuvring the replacement into place. Unfortunately that proved not so easy and I spent about an hour wrestling with the wire before finally prying it into the slot. I snapped the bezel back, and switched the machine on.<br /> <br /> Nothing. A bit of a wimper from the hard disk light, but nothing else.<br /> <br /> Thinking I mightn't have seated the screen properly, I took it all apart and reseated the connector.<br /> <br /> Again nothing. So I reverted back to the old screen. But alas.<br /> <br /> I tried connecting an external monitor. Nothing.<br /> <br /> So then I proceeded to take the entire machine apart, and reassemble it. Pointless.<br /> <br /> So that's where I'm at. I'm at a loss what went wrong or what to do next. At this point, I'm resigned to trying to recover the data on my hard drive and drawing a line through the whole exercise as a costly mistake.<br /> <br /> Any suggestions (other than trying to get Sony to help)?<br /> <br /> TT
