Can you provide instrcs. For connecting and installing the new hard drive? Where is the best place to purchase new drive and name/description for new drive. I have never tried this but my hard drive fails at least 2 tests
My battery is old and I have always had to keep it plugged into power should I replace it also for better performance? And best place for good price. Thanks
Della
