    Acer Extensa 502DX

    HDD is dying so I want to copy as much as I can before it does. Prob is I can't find anything on Acers site as to how to get it out. Have I got to crack open the case to get at it??

    there is usually a panel that opens on the bottom of the unit or on one of the sides. In some rare instances I have had to remove the keyboard in order to get at the hard drive. Never have I had to tear apart a notebook to get the drive out.

    Cool Cracking the Acer Case

    I've been trying to figure out how to disassemble my daughter's Extensa case for more time than I care to admit. Acer refuses to sell me a maintenance manual (which basically means that I will never purchase any Acer product again), and I have been unable to locate the manual on the Internet anywhere after repeated searches. Quite frankly, the machine is probably not worth the cost it would require to have it repaired, but if I could get the case open, I would be able to replace the power connector, which sheared internal to the case within a year of purchase.

    Sorry to answer your first post this way... but your right. The Acer I posted about is gathering dust...just wasn't worth the strife.

    I don't know Shamus. I have a customer who is also an electriician who had the same problem. He managed to fix the problem power connector with one from a really old lappie I had which was no good and not worth anything except for parts. To him it was worth it.
    Listen robin, just pm Damned Angel. He may have exactly what you need. He's the laptop guru around here. And good luck.
