    other than that you need to get a 1.8" PATA/ZIF drive. They are unfortunately pretty expensive for what you are getting, but they are also fairly plentiful on eBayhttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Dell-FNGD...

The VAIO VGN-T350 is a notebook computer designed and distributed by Sony.
The hard drive on your Sony VAIO VGN-T350, which is the unit that stores data, consists of many clusters of data that can be rewritten with new data.
If you are looking for a memory capacity upgrade, or if your old hard drive is having errors, it's time for an upgrade.
Upgrading the hard drive on your Sony VAIO will require the use of a screwdriver and will take you about 30 minutes to complete.

Turn off your Sony VAIO VGN-T350 and remove the power cord and any other peripheral components.
Turn over your Sony VAIO VGN-T350 and locate the hard drive chamber on the bottom of your laptop. It will be clearly labeled.

Use the screwdriver to remove the screw holding the lid in place.
Gently lift the hard drive and its cage away from your laptop and disconnect the data cord.
Remove the four screws located at the corners, and then remove your old hard drive from its cage.
Place your new internal laptop hard drive into the cage and replace the screws.
Connect the data cord to your new hard drive and place your new hard drive into its chamber.
Close the lid and replace the screw to complete the operation.

500GB Sata Hard Disk Hdd for Sony VAIO PCG-3H2L VGN-P530H VGN-SR410J/B

Testimonial: "I do thank you Brian for your effort... the real concern is compatability... regrettably, Sony does not provide any guidance as to determine wich drive could be suitable/compatible. You suggest a SATA drive whilst Toshiba MK6028GAL is a PATA drive with -of course- different connector. My concern is compatability of the drive, not to buy a good for nothing drive that would remain forgotten on a drawer... Again, many, many thanks for your effort!"

SOURCE: Hi, Brand : Imation Model : Apollo M250 Capacity

Hi, The hard drive Apollo M250 does not have any locking mechanism. It only has backup software. If your computer does not detect the HDD, it only means that the HDD is already broken.

I forgot my sony vaio bios password

Remove the battery, remove the power cord and start taking the laptop apart. You will need to remove the CMOS battery located on the motherboard and let it sit for an hour or two. Then but it all back together. The CMOS battery is a silver battery about the size of a nickel.
