An ageing hard drive can be a symptom of a slow or unbootable laptop as its error correction logic has to work harder and harder. Fitting a solid state drive (SSD) instead can make your laptop run faster even than when it was new.

When installing a replacement hard drive (or SSD), take care to attach the brackets to the drive the same way round as they were on the old drive otherwise the SATA connector won't mate.
Replace the 4 screws securing the brackets.
Replace the drive in the laptop and slide it into position, ensuring that the SATA connector is fully mated.
Replace the retaining screw holding the drive in position. Take care to insert it into the correct hole otherwise it will be impossible to insert the cover screws.
