hardware changes HP dv8315nr
I love this machine but it has its problems. I have had it not for about two years but now I am experiencing a few problems.
1. The keyboard has been a problem since it was new. HP told me that it was software and that I should make some software changes. However, I have bought a replacement keyboard and would like to replace it.
2. There is a space for a second drive. I would like to do that. I have a mounting bracket but would like some info of how to do it and make it as seamless as possible.
3. Last but not least, there are several lines through the display. I rebuilt the display in my old Vaio but would like some guideance to the process here in order to change it out.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to Sledgehammer70, I now know how to swap out the keyboard. The new keyboard cost me $40 however, if it solves the dropped character problem, it will be worth it. I have also used a standalone keyboard with my puter but whats the point. So I will go this route and let you know the results.
Everyone knows the biggest bottle neck in any pc is the hardrive. I'd go for it and see what happens. In the end if it doesn't work out all you'll need to do is return a hardrive and possibly loose a few bucks for shipping.
MY 2c... hopefully someone that is more knowledgeable about upgrading laptop harddrives will post up.
Not a bad deal, I think.
