Hello,

Does anyone one know of any Apple Service centers in Seoul or Busan?

I know of UBASE near COEX but want some other options.

I need to replace a hard drive on my 12 inch powerbook
I spoke to UBASE and they'll do the labor but I have to buy the hard drive
elsewhere. They quoted me an 80GB drive and I'd like to get the largest I could get: This is what I want, would like to find it in Seoul

250GB 9.5mm 5400RPM Western Digital hard drive.

9.5 mm high drive for maximum capacity slimline portable applications
Specifications: Storage Capacity: 250GB. Interface: Ultra ATA 100: Form Factor: 2.5-inch x 9.5mm.

You should be able to find a replacement hard drive pretty much anywhere. but I think the best prices would probably be in Yongsan. I bought a replacement hard drive at an electronics store in Coex, but I got ripped off because I was in a hurry and couldn't shop around. It was a 2.5" drive that was actually packaged as an external harddrive. It looked something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J1HPXK?ie=UTF8&tag=metstadie-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000J1HPXK

I removed the hard drive itself from the shell (very easy) and got the guys at Ubase to install it in my MacBook.

Look under "Portable Products Service Provider".

I've only used UBase in Coex, so I'm not sure what these others are like.
