Open VGN series

Hi guys,
I need some sort of a guide to open my VGN-A195EP and install a new hard drive cause my old one has passed out.
I would like to now if there will be any problems changing the old one (hitachi 4200rpm) with a (seagate 5400rpm)
If someone can help me please do so , I wouldn't like to damage my laptop.
Thank you!

This is a link to a guide for the A115B, but your notebook should have identical architecture. I assume that your computer is no longer in warranty?

There should be no problem with installing the Seagate drive as long as is has the same form factor as the Hitachi.

No warranty, I'll fix it by myself. Thanks a lot my friend!
