After disassembling the PCG-505TS notebook, locate the hard drive at the front left corner of the notebook case. The hard drive is held down by two brackets.

The screw is under the power wires as shown in the photo below. Remove this screw. Attached Image: Chieh Cheng Next, locate and remove the screw on the other side of the bracket. It is close to where the power wire connects to the motherboard (see photo below). Attached Image: Chieh Cheng You can now lift the hard drive from the notebook case. But do it slowly and carefully. The ribbon cable is still attached as shown in the photo below. Do not damage the ribbon cable. It's surface-mount type, and very difficult to fix. Carefully pry the IDE connector off the drive.

You can easily replace the hard drive with another by reversing the direction presented here. Chieh Cheng
