HI,

The HD on my TR2A is dead. I opened the laptop up and this is what is on the harddrive: 870TA10JBR.

I’ve seen the post to order this harddrive:

But, is this the correct one I need for my TR2A?

Thank you.

Looks good to me, good luck with the swap.

I don’t know what hapened yesterday, but suddenly I couldn’t start up my vaio, it does a weird clicking sound and says no operating system found.
I guess the hard drive is dead.
Which and where can I find the proper hard drive? :( 

try zipzoomfly.

Now, I am a little confused. Here is a pic of the HD from NewEgg, ZipZoomFly, and Span:

Here is a pic of the HD I took out of my TR2A.

They do not look the same. Can someone point me to the correct HD to replace this one?

Thanks again.

RuninRonin, that’s the Hitachi drive that NewEgg has for sale. Your TR uses the Toshiba one. While the Hitachi drive is compatible with the TR, it’s not the most reliable. I would suggest Buying the Toshiba 40 Gb 1.8” hard drive, despite the cost, otherwise, you can wait for the 60Gb version that should be coming out soon.

Considering his died, I guess Toshiba’s aren’t much better.

So all I need to do is follow this link and buy:
