I found a laptop that has a 512GB hard drive and has an extra slot for a 2.5 hard drive. I wanted to ask if the guarantee would be lost if I unscrewed the laptop and installed the extra hard drive or if I let someone do it
That depends entirely on the model and the manufacturer. If the notebook has a maintenance hatch so that you can install the additional HDD without having to dismantle half the device, then you don't need to worry.
In that case rather no, although the sealing of the screws does not work.
there's no overall change.
Usually not. Be careful not to break any warranty seals. If you avoid that, you usually still have a guarantee afterwards.
Of course, you shouldn't break anything else, but the hard drive connections are usually relatively easy to access anyway.
Hmm okay so with the youtube videos screw it down completely
Well with this youtube video they break it at 0:50 seconds
So even if the seal is broken, would the guarantee exist?
If this is a guarantee seal (Sorry, couldn't see it exactly), then the guarantee is of course gone.
I would see that you have increased the storage capacity, otherwise no change made.
Yes i thought so too… Why should they add an extra slot for another hard drive so that we can upgrade ourselves and then something like that
