Hey! I've got an ancient IBM Thinkpad and it looks like the hard disk has given up the ghost. Not in the market for anew laptop (yet!) and like this old behemoth, so anyone got an idea of where I might be able to locate such a thing?

For what it's worth, it's got a Model No. DTCA - 24090 and has a 4090 MB capability. Cheers for suggestions of shops, outlets which might have one!

Pantip Plaza is the obvious place. If you are in Bangkok?

Your notebook will no doubt take a number of different hard drives (a 2.5" IDE drive). The best bet is to take everything along to Pantip there is a reliable notebook shop on the ground floor (on the right side in the back), they will fit it, install software and test it. I bought a 5GB for my Toshiba and everything cost me 5000 (but that was nearly 2 years ago).

Cheers Jay. I was hoping to do it over the phone or by email if possible, as I don't v. often get down to BKK. So phone no's and email addresses of shops would be the most useful at this stage of looking.

Plachon, where are you. If you are in the North I can probably pick a drive up at Complaza for you if you are out of town.
