  1. Hello, My company is cycling through old computer hardware and put out a pile of old laptops. I picked up a 2570p with no hard drive and a broken screen as well as a couple of 2540's. The screen is dead, dead so I haven't seen the BIOS screen to begin to know what exactly is in it. So I thought I was doing pretty good. Until I talked to our IT director, and when I told her how old this model was, she suggested it could still be under warranty and she would have the screen replaced for free. I checked and it's got two weeks left! Boom! So I'm reading a bit about the modularity and durability of this unit and obviously I lucked out. There is so much to learn about this notebook (you guys are pushing the mods hard), I have just a couple of questions. I want to install an SSD where the hard drive used to be, and I'm thinking 240GB Samsung. Is that possible, and if so what format do I need to buy? I would prefer to leave the optical drive in place. My older HP has a 18.5v / 3.5A / 65W charger that plugs in. Is this safe to power the 2570p? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and answers. David
