Hi

I have got it out of the enclosure and tried carefully to pull the adapter 
off the end.  It really doesn't look like it will move.  I have done a 
similar thing on a Dell laptop HD and it did look like a removable adapter 
but this look fixed.  Is that possible. I tried phoning Toshiba but they 
were no help.  Can I sendyou a photo of it?  I really appreciate you help as 
I live in Northern Scotland and a bit remote.
