I did. Replacing the hard drive on a mac laptop was super hard for me. They are not made to be opened easily. I would say that if you plan on running your apple care out without buying another 3 years to maybe go for it. Pray that you don't break your computer in the process. That being said, it might actually be a better idea to buy a backup drive and backup often and just wait for the computer to break. Then renew apple care since you have a newer laptop. Apple care is your friend and apple laptops need it. They will fix anything that breaks no questions. I had the motherboard and the keyboard replaced twice on mine. I'll buy a pc laptop next time...<br>

it is a FUJITSU MHW2160BHPL 160G,<br>
<br>
i found out last night that this drive<br>
is notoriously problematic.<br>
<br>
one idea is now to upgrade to a seagate as hey<br>
seem to be quiet.<br>
<br>
if i do so, i wa told i will lose my warranty<br>
but that it will be re instated if i re-install the original drive<br>
if i av a problem with the laptop, other than the drive.<br>
<br>
anyone ever done this before ?<br>
