Open Question: if have not used an HP photo smart printer in a few years..how likely is that will have to replace it?

as tried printing something..and it prints..but in a very very faint purplish color and then nothing..so maybe the ink cartridges are dried up? how likely also the printer head is not going to work?

how likely can refill the cartridges and how likely will have to replace them? or how likely even if replace them..that the printer head isnt going to work and why for that?

also, have heard that if you take the cartridges out and soak them in hot water that it will cause them to be unclogged..is this true? how well will work again? or just refill the ink?

any help appreciated.

Open Question: Can I replace my hard drive?

Yes as the previous person said you just need to buy a new hard drive
But in order to do this correctly you need to find out what type of hard drive you have
The two things you NEED to know are the type and size

SIZE:
Desktops hard drives are 3.5 inches

Laptops hard drive size is 2.5 inches

TYPES:
Sata. ata and so on

Google image serach and look for a hard drive that looks like yours three are only two types most commonly used in desktops/laptops sata or ata and you

most new laptops use asata witch are pretty cheap compared to the older laptop type.

Easy way to find out what type of hard drive is is to look on the paper tag the hard dive has. it should say something like sata or asata from there it will be easy for you to find the correct hard drive

The chances are next to nill. The cost, if it could be done, would cost you more than buying a new laptop set up for gaming.

Sorry.
