On my 13 inch MBP, I just installed a new WD scorpio blue hard drive. I'm pretty sure I did everything right, but it wiggles around. What's wrong?
Got a tip for us?

Remove it from the Macbook and have a look at things that may of gone wrong like screws in the right place ect....
If you re fit it again and get the same issue i have a good youtube video for you i recently watched which is very good just to make sure your applying correctly

4 screws from the original? I only removed 2 to remove the original HD, the two black ones over the plastic "arm" that goes over the edge of the HD.

Take a look at the hard drive, which you removed. It should have 2 torx 6 screws screwed into either side (for a total of 4) of the hard drive. These 4 screws need to be removed and replaced on to the new hard drive prior to remounting.
x2, there are *four* torx screws that need to be transferred from the old drive to the new.
