Hard drive adaptor thingy
2 Attachment(s)
I recently returned a faulty HDD. what I didn't know is that it had an adaptor for my laptop! I don't know what it is called and in need of desperate identification. Here are some pics of my other HDD and the HDD dock thingy. Acer is really starting to piss me off!

well I recognize that computer connection as a specialized IDE connector in the hard drive bay, the connector on your spare drive is SATA, as far as I can tell you'd need to call Acer and see if they can send you a new hard drive adapter. But you will still need a different hard drive because there's little chance that you could find a SATA to IDE adapter that would fit inside the drive bay and still fit the drive.

UGH! Acer is horrible to contact. I did however, emailed them and tried to explain the part.
|
Do you mind sharing the model laptop you have? I could use it if I were to help you find an online reseller for the part.
|
Can we get a clearer photo of the port of the laptop? I can't quite see what we're dealing with. Just shine a light on it or use the flash. Cheers.

I found these adapters, but I don't know if it would work with your model.

That is the thingy I was talking about! Sorry I couldn't get the model no. or get a clearer picture. I was just able to gain access to my dad's macbook today. I can now have my laptop ready for next semester. I swear, it was almost "out the window" if you know what I mean.
EDIT: Wow, it looks like it, but it doesn't look like it has the right model number (just checked) AS7535-844G50Mn I am off by a 5... |
