  • Thanks for this.

    Would you be so kind as to make another video showing how to install memory in an R51? That subject seems to be non-existent on YouTube. Thanks.

  • @TheRealRedFlashlight Unfortunately I don't have this R51 any more. If I get another one I'll try to make a video for memory.

  • hey I JUST WANTED to say thank you ... i was about to unscrew all the screws on the thinkpad i have ( tinkpad 550 ) but i have a very dumb question ... i did what you said and the HD was present cus im looking at it when i unscrewed the Laptop, but it keeps saying HD not present.

    any suggestions

  • @jaganar1 Could be a faulty hard drive try another hard drive in it and see if the same thing happens.
