Best website for selling/recycling old broken laptops?

Looks pretty easy to remove the hard drive, as it is accessible from the bottom of the laptop. See the last image on this page:

Ignore everything above it, you don't need to do that! I would think there's just a couple of screws underneath holding the drive in.

I suppose you could take it out, format it using a caddy, then put it back in?

I don't have easy access to a caddy, so I'm thinking I'll just keep the drive/bash it with a hammer.... a lot of potential hassle for how much extra? £10? :huh:

If it's a decent size drive, it might be useful in a caddy as a second drive to whatever you replace the laptop with. If not, enjoy destroying it!
