Can I ask where you are?

If near me I can defluff for you.

Why not bring it to Long Itch for de-fluffing?

Acer 7750G defluffing on youtube

This is why I'm seeking recommendations for a defluffer.

I am in Rugby.

I upgraded my 2008 iMac with a 250G Samsung SSD about a year ago.  No problems with it.  Some low level manual defluffing was done at the same time.

Doing the upgrade required good close up vision, dexterity & 3 hands.  I think a laptop would be similar. In your case its probably best to get someone else to do it. Ask a local shop for a quote to supply & fit & ask them to defluff at the same time ?


I don't know enough about Blu ray drives to comment, but if you can get an external one which will interface to the laptop it sounds a lot less faff.

I prefer the internal drive swap mainly for the convenience of not having extra peripherals and psus to keep in order.

I'm erring towards a Crucial MX300 series SSD.  The idea of getting all the work done in one go by a 'professional' appeals greatly.
