Need drive caddy for 15 bw032wm

[Audio_Trevor]

I decided to upgrade the hard drive in my laptop to an SSD, so I pulled the computer apart, took out the original HD and ordered a new drive. While I was waiting, somehow the drive caddy/frame/whatever you call the aluminum piece that holds the drive in place disappeared and I need to order a new one. What is the part number for this piece? Once I have it, I can put the laptop back together.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for pointing in the right direction, but that wasn't the part I was referring to. However, in the "also viewed" section, I think I found the part I was looking for.

That one you can do without if you have the one I linked.

After finding the repair manual for this laptop online, and seeing the parts breakout, I think you're right. The reason I can't find the bracket is because I'm looking for the wrong part! I must have had another laptop in my head when I was trying to put this back together.

Thank you again for the link and assistance.

Certainly the square flat kind is more common but this one uses a simple bar type bracket. I can't even see 10 bucks in it but there you go.
