I noticed mine is slightly brighter around the inverter area when the screen is completely black. Once everything is up its in perfect condition.

notebook video cards are soldered on the motherboard itself, so you're basically out of luck with upgrading the video card. what vid card did you want anyways

the ATI 9700 128MB is a MUST!! ps. no DVD-RAM offered in slimtype just yet.

Don't get the DVD Super drive, stick with the cheapest optical drive they offer, then get the NEC 6500A DVD-RW Double Layer on newegg for $109 shipped, then scrap the drive that it came with, that'll save you even more money.

The fastest hard drive out there is the Hitachi Travelstar 7,200rpm 60GB, the Seagate 100GB 7,200RPM is coming out, some on ebay already. Another hard drive i would recommend is the Seagate 100gb 5,400RPM...

Also, I am not entirely sure that your model will take PC3200 ram, if not it might need a BIOS update to be compatible. If you do go with PC3200 ram and it takes only PC2700, itll revert to the slower DDR333 speed. Good luck chosing.

It's true that using PC2700 will work fine, but if you're going to spend that amount of money on a laptop, PC2700 and a 4200rpm Hard drive will only hinder your laptop's performance. If you look online in newegg.com, PC3200 modules only...

I would get the cheapest ram available and transfer your money to get the highest cpu available. After that you can upgrade to 1GB PC3200 and even a 7,200rpm Hard drive and you would have a pretty nasty laptop.

Yup, thats one of the best slimtype dvd burners in the market right now, and its on sale. I've done several optical drive upgrades and have used the NEC 6500A and works great. I'd recommend it. You can also sell your original drive on...

its fairly simple, just shutdown the comp with the drive open. Im not sure about your model but most just have screws on the underside of the laptop, some may also have screens under the keyboard so it might require some disassembly. ...
