Replacing internal drive

[jos8ua]

Howdy folks.
I just got myself a new 160G internal HD to replace the 60G one that came with my '06 white Macbook. I'm wondering if it'll effect my Apple plan warranty or have any other negative side effects if I do the switcheroo myself, as in not using Apple tech. Any ideas?
Thanks!

jos8ua,

I can't confirm this for sure, but I would almost certainly say that this would void the warranty. Cracking open the case and replacing a hard drive yourself would surely be frowned upon. My advice would be to take it to a certified Apple store with experts/technicians, and they can give you the best course of action from there.

I would say the best option would be to take the drive and the comp to an apple store and let a genius tell you what to do, or he might even do it for you if it won't affect waranty or something.

Great advice.
