Help needed to find a replacement HDD for Dell Studio 1558

Hi,
My laptop HDD is 5 yr old and started to give a lot of read/write errors recently, I'm also finding very difficult to back the data from my laptop to my Seagate external HDD.When I copy the files to external HDD it gives I/O error. When multiple files are copied the fan runs at high speed makes lot of noise and the laptop.shuts down due to overheating. Due to this I got a chkdsk to scan and fix the errors on my external drive due to data copy failure taking additional 4hrs to scan for errors. My laptop.internal drive is Seagate momentus ST9500325AS 5400 rpm 500 GB,2.5" internal 8 MB cache SATA 3.0 GB/s drive and find that the drive is unavailable in my country.
I've just seen Seagate momentus Thin ST500LT012 500 GB 5400 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB/s 2.5" internal Laptop/Notebook Hard disk on Amazon and would like to.know if I can replace my old with this
I was not sure to order this online since it reads thin I doubt if it would be slimmer than the old one and might not be an alternative.
I would also greatly appreciate if someone could suggest an alternative HDD preferably Seagate to replace for Dell 1558 studio
Thanks in advance.

First try to make a Dell Backup and Recovery 16 GB Bootable USB using the latest version of Dell Backup and Recovery:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/dell-backup-and-recovery-1-8-1-71/
The instructions are for Windows 8.1 but should be similar for Windows 7.
New drives will be slimmer. I recommend you replace the HDD with a SSD if you want a significant performance boost. Crucial SSDs include a spacer for seating into your system and guarantee compatibility:

  • Need to find a replacement battery for a mid 2007 Mac notebook. MBO061LL/A

    Recently picked up a Mid 2007 Mac notebook, white.  The battery is shot.  Need to pick up a replacement.  The batteries available at Amazon don't come with rave reviews.  Does anybody have a source or a reputable company where I can pick up a new battery, for a reasonable price?

    Here is a link for the battery, the price is not that polite ($90) but it is the right battery I believe.
    Check it out ! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-White-Battery-020-5071-B-A1185-for-MacBook-13-A1181- 2006-2007-2008-2009-/221371268219

  • Help needed to find out BADI's for Transaction "PECM_CHANGE_STATUS"

    Hi folks,
    I was told to use BADI "HRECM00_ACTIVATION" and code in the Method "CALC_SAL_ADJUSTMENT" within it. After coding and executing my Transaction "PECM_CHANGE_STATUS" it does'nt stop at the method (inspite of keeping a breakpoint).
    So, after suggestions from some of you folks i tried the below 2 methods to find out the relavant BADI's
    1) First way, putting a breakpoint at "CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface" via SE24 and found only one BADI in exit_name which is "HRPAD_SUBTY_CHECK".
    2) Other way i checked the Package of suggested BADI "HRECM00_ACTIVATION" , which i found as "PAOC_ECM_ADM_BL". ANd when i go to SE80, for this package when i check the Enhancements section->Classic BADIs. i found about 15 BADI's ..Is this the right way to check for a BADI ? If not, how to know the relavant BADI's for my transaction "PECM_CHANGE_STATUS"
    Awaiting for response. Thanks!

    Hi,
      1. The BADI "HRECM00_ACTIVATION" does exist in this transaction, did you activate the implementation after writing the code?  The method is called in the FM HR_ECM_CALC_SAL_ADJUSTMENT.  You can try executing with breakpoint at the FM HR_ECM_CALC_SAL_ADJUSTMENT.
      2. You can try using the program in the code gallery to find user exit/Badi. Link: [Badi/exit finder|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ToFindoutUserexitsandBAdI%27s%28New+format%29].
      3. In case you are working on ECC 6.0 the first point ( "CALL METHOD cl_exithandler=>get_class_name_by_interface"  ) mentioned by you might now return all the BADIS, as SAP has introduced a new method by which BADIS are invoked. You can try searching for Kernel Badi in SAP Help.

  • NEED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PRINTER FOR MY HP A6057C

    I HAVE A HP PAV A6057C-B CAME AS A BUNDLE FROM COSTCO NEED TO REPLACE PRINTER THAT CAME WITH IT  WINDOWS  32 BIT.  

    I was going to recommend Brother becasue they held OS9 support longer than just about anyone, but their current printers are now supported back to Mac OS10.3 to 10.4, depending on printer model.
    If you can do with a b/w laser, the recently discontinued HL5250DN is very nice and OS9 drivers are still up on Brother support site (just checked). We have that model networked at home and its happily serving five Macs plus any visitors who bring their own computer.
    This printer has been absolutely reliable and trouble-free. It has both USB and ethernet connectivity (I prefer the latter), does duplex (two-sided) printing, and 1200 dpi res. If you Google the model HL5250DN, you should turn up some of the model still in stock someplace.
    If you need color, I'm at a loss for a recommendation there.

    unfortunately we do not stock or have product numbers for the AC adapter or the stands. Any universal AC adapter should work provided that it provides the following power requirements:

  • Need  to find the class type for a material

    Hi all,
    i need to find the class type for the material.
    is there any FM or the table where i have both MATNR and KLART fileds.
    Kindly reply asap.
    Thanks
    Sri

    Hi,
    There can be multiple class types assigned to a material. You can view this in the classification tab in the material master transaction.
    You can pass the MATNR to OBJEK field of KSSK table after using neccessary converison Exit to get KLART(Class Type). It will return you a 3 digit Class type. You can find the description of the class from the class type master table TCLA.
    Hope this helps.

    You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

    I've bought used MacBooks off of eBay for my family, nine of them so far over the last 6 years. I've bought 8 batteries off of eBay sellers, just going with the cheapest. Only had one with a problem, it gave out after 6 cycles. That one was replaced under the warranty by the seller. The only other batteries that have been a problem were Apple branded batteries that started bulging. I've had two of those happen.
