Great video thanks so much for posting - I've done this a few times already and needed a quick reminder on the steps so this was super helpful - one piece of advice for newbies I would recommend however - before you screw in the base as shown in the video, flip over the laptop and make sure the ribbon is all the way through and easily accessible and properly attached - so pop everything back together and attach the keyboard etc and then attach the battery and power on and verify that your ribbons are properly attached as its a huge pain to discover something is not connected properly and then have to unscrew it all and fix. Obviously be very very careful using the laptop while it is not screwed together, then when you know it is working screw it all back in place and you are good to go. Thanks again PC Monkey!

This is the best vid on this I found for my Dell, may be because it is in english. The others do not even have text as to why the keyboard has to come off. Some people seem to replace the drive without cloning which seems strange , if you were not setup with a usb to install Windows from. You can get a "toaster" (10-$20) to put the old drive in to read off old files , or clone the old drive onto the new drive thru a usb port.

Thank you x 10! I have the same laptop that you're using in this demonstration. Bitlocker locked my HDD or partition. I could not boot into Win 10. I was able to get bitlocker recovery key, but I had no record of the password. Regardless of inputting that 48 digit key I could not boot into windows. I could not disable bitlocker on that drive/partition. A tech aquaintance suggested replacing hdd. This vid gave me the knowledge and courage to do so. However, at one point I thought I had fried my mother board. And I followed the steps in pc monkey vids on what to do if machine turns on the off...steps for discharging static charge and for resetting bios. Things didn't get righted until bios reset step. At that point the laptop started to have some response but I had a black screen. Then I listened to pc monkey vid on what to do if you have a black screen. That's when it all started to come together. I had popped my ram card out during the 1st video,this video, to get the info off of it incase I wanted to add more ram later. I did not re-seat the ram card properly. Ounce I did that I was able to reinstall windows 10. I wolud have never been able to do this and recover from my own ineptness, misstake, without pc monkey. I'm going back to all the pc monkey videos I viewed to get me back up and running and give each a thumbs up. The videos are practical, instructional and to the point. Thanks for not adding unnecessary stuff that make vids un-necessarily longer than needed. Big fan an new subcriber! P.S. Does PC Monkey have instruction on my original problem saving my data and wiping my old hdd. I can't at this point save data or wipe the drive because of the locked partition. I tried connecting drive via sata to usb. Drive not showing in 'this pc' or disk management.

This was the HDD and RAM panel so I didn’t have to remove the keyboard and DVD after all. I guess that the 3000 series has other models. Great video by the way.

Can I use the hdd from my HP Elitebook 8460p in the Dell Inspiron 15 3000?
@PC_Monkey4 жыл бұрын
I think those are compatible. They should both be 2.5 inch drives with a SATA connection.

Do new hard drive come preloaded or does one need to reload everything? I know nothing on repairing a computer. Just bought a new laptop to replace the one that suddenly said hard drive not installed after 11 years. I can play with this one.

New HDD's come with nothing on them. After installing, you would need to install a Operating System to it. For Dell, you can see that here: How To Install Windows 10: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIq8Xnqna513rNE How To Install Widows 11: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5rcXmhpjMhgjdE

I too have a DELL Inspiron 15 3000 and I am absolutely terrified of ESD (Electro Static Discharge); was that why you were touching your computer in the video? DELL sent me a new hard drive at the time of this posting. Your video is indeed very easy to follow, but I am still concerned about screwing something up due to ESD; also, I do not have any internal components like a DVD drive--I connect peripherals via USB drives. Help!

1. This computer is sitting on an anti-static pad so its pretty protected. You can also choose to wear an anti-static bracelet instead. You can see the things I use in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey 2. Are you looking for help getting into your computer? Is this video close to your 3000 series?

Also, what are the chances that something within the computer is merely dislodged as opposed to the hard drive being compromised. I know opening the computer to see what's going on would help...😁

As stated in the video, your looking for a 2.5 inch hard drive or solid state drive for laptops. You also need it to have a SATA connection. The rest is up to you :) But any drive with those features will word :)

I dont understand your comment. If you think you can replace your HDD or RAM in your model computer without taking out some screws, then go for it :)

Can this also help with "Harddrive not installed" In the bios diagnostics?
@PC_Monkey3 жыл бұрын
That error means the hard drive is either bad or loose. I would first try 'reseating' the Hard Drive. That is where you unplug it and then plug it back in, making sure its properly plugged in and secure. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see how to do that here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYvdiKaQbbB-fLM. You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new one as shown here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/i33Ve4mhaa99aJI
