My hard disk died last night after the fan stopped working, and now I guess I gotta get a new laptop. I don’t know anything about computers, so I need some help finding something that can run Minecraft decently for $400 or less.
Also, might it be cheaper to just get it repaired? Is that a thing?
Yeah, wayyyy easier to replace the drive. Look up your laptop on ifixit. Drive bays tend to be easy to get to
Wasn’t able to find it there, but thanks for the suggestion! How about the fan? Is that hard to replace? I believe that was the reason for the drive failure in the first place.
It can depend on the fan a lot more. Sometimes they are accessible and standardized, other times not so much. And it is unlikely the fan is the reason for drive failures. If you had a spinning disk drive, heat might be a factor, but it would be minimal.
And you can also check youtube for videos on disassembly. 9 times out of 10, drive replacement is just removing the bottom casing and just taking the drive out. Super easy and hard to mess up
