ASUS G73Jh Hard Drive Bracket (caddy)

I'm looking for the hard drive bracket of an ASUS G73Jh.



Does anyone knows where can I find it? I need just one piece.



ASUS doesn't have it.

Are you sure? I thought you could just order it from them.

Nah, it's not available from them till approximately September. You can try asusparts.eu if you're up to it. I have one on the way from them but no telling if it's the right part or anything. I decided to give it a go.

I've heard any of the G series hard drive brackets work. Someone took out one from their G50 for their G73 without any difficulty.



Dunno though. I haven't tried myself so I couldn't tell you first hand.

Only person I heard this from didn't post any pics and didn't answer any of my other questions regarding it. Until I see some pics I wouldn't put too much effort into geting ahold of one of those brackets.

I just looked at the G50 bracket and it looks the same as the G73 one, with the exception of the screw braces coming off the far end from the connector (which you could remove anyway.

Spacing's off on it I believe. Seriously though, give it a whirl if you're up for it. There are a lot of people wanting to figure out a solution to this.

Not true. I have a G72 and my son has my old G50VT. Neither bracket fits in the G73. I just use a bit of foam like the G50VT BB version came with in the second drive bay.



Cheers,

Just got my caddy in from asusparts.eu which is currently (as far as I know) the only place to get them. Fits perfectly. What's funny is they order it from Asus and apparently Asus can't get it for you right now.

Thanks! I'm gonna try that store. Do you have the link for the bracket? I didn't find it there yet.
