I've worked on hundreds of laptops and never had one with a hard drive this difficult to change. Thanks for the video.

Fun Fact: Dell had a contest for who could make the absolute worst laptop design ever. The winner made the N5110.

Very much appreciated! Been a technician for 15yrs and this is the worst notebook assembly I've seen.

WTF???? The person who designed this model needs to be fired!!!!!

My god.... nice vid... whoever approved this designed needs to be fired.

Here it is 13 years later (August 2023) and I was given an old N5110. It's an old i5 with 6gb of RAM, but with more RAM and an SSD, it's still a pretty good laptop for my grandkids just entering high school. I've replaced dozens, maybe hundreds of hard drives, but this was the first N5110. It a pain, but I've seen worse. Thanks to your video, it was fairly easy.

Thank you! Wow, I can't believe they buried the hard drive this deep in a fairly modern laptop. Your video was very helpful.

I am utterly flabbergasted that this is what you have to go thru to replace a hard drive.

Another satisfied customer -- I used these instructions to repair my wife's laptop. Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks for the video, very well prepared. Without it, I could never have.

Thanks Josh. Just slammed a Samsung SSD into an N5110, it's a rocket now. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video - it's really not that big of a deal to tear down and put back. Took me 30 mins after watching your vid.

Thank you very much for the detailed instructions and the great video, much appreciated

You have my gratitude for this video Josh. Needed to extract my sister's hard drive since it crapped. I managed to get through it and have a little fun with it on the way.

Thanks. You have one of the more helpful tutorials on HDD replacements on You Tube. So many details, especially if you're doing it for the first time. All that just to replace the one component most likely to be replaced or serviced during ownership. I also have an ASUS laptop where replacing the HDD takes 5 minutes, removing one flap.

soon as i lifted the lid to the Ram compartment i knew i was in for a full dismantle to get to the hard-drive. I've got enough experience to handle it alone, but to have a walk-through available as a preview - gives you the reassurance that you are not gonna run into any trouble along the way. Thanks for this upload !

Really helpful, well explained, no annoying music, really good tutorial video.

We did it! Thank you so much! Other videos I saw went so fast and were so hard to understand I wasn't about to attempt this. I reallly appreciate your level of detail!

This is a very well done and very useful demonstration, as this model laptop is more complex than many

Thank you so much for this video. It definitely helped us out of a bind. We couldn't have fixed our laptop without your help!

Excellent video - the best I've ever followed (and I have followed a LOT!) You were easy to understand, slow enough so I could keep up (pausing quite often) but not so detailed that I fell asleep. I congratulate you on an instruction video that this 72 year old could follow and successfully replicate.
