    Hi

    My motherboard has broken (water damage) but my hdd is fine. Can i just purchase another acer a150 (same mo9del) and swap the hdd over ? Save me reinstalling windows/apps etc ?

    Cheers

    Yes, or you could image your old hard drive and write the image on your new one. No disassembly required.

    Thanks Jerryt

    I have never heard of that before, how is it done ?

    Is there a guide ??

    I could take an image of the hdd i have removed by plugging it into a portable 2.5" case i presume ? Although i have never taken an image of an entire drive only films, games etc How would i write that image to the new notebook though.

    Cheers
