[QUOTE="elma, post: 906883, member: 46759"] Ah, forgot to mention. While it's in bits should I replace the PRAM battery. Have tested it as per Apple guidelines. It does retain date and time when laptop is off without the battery or charger. However it is 5yrs old so can't be in peak condition. As I'm taking out the HD it seems a good point to replace it even with it functioning correctly. Does that sound wise? Also I will probably replace the superdrive whilst the laptop is in pieces. It's not broken, but it is very noisy nowadays. With this in mind I don't think that the PRAM will ever be easier to replace as I don't plan on opening it up ever again if I can get away with it.
