Hi :) 

I own a laptop repair company and yes it does...

There are several fitments where it connects, plus you may have to use your outer cover on the replacement drive...

Take yours OUT and have a very close look at it and make SURE the replacement looks EXACTLY the same.. BEFORE YOU BUY IT...

All the best Brett :)

Hi :) 

Make does not matter...fittings do...

You will be limited in the makes you find anyway, this isn't like buying a dvd drive for a Pc...so buy whichever make FITS...

All the best Brett :)
