There are many,many websites that sell HDD's,so the answer to your question would be the internet.

Those are just some of the sites i found on Google,there is also the option to buy of Ebay,you can get new or used there.


EDIT:
Thats actually if you are looking for a HDD,you arnt very clear on that.
If its the BD drive,you can replace the laser,there are sites like this one.

I need the whole thing not just a laser. My problem is I can't get it back together and have tried for hours. Where can I get the entire blu-ray player?

You could try you luck with one of these, http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/?_nkw=Fault...Parts&_osacat=0 or you could buy a replacement drive board and replacement Blu Ray lens,i dont really think there is a need to buy the whole drive.

My problem is when I try to put a disc in, it's blocked by two tabs. I have taken it a part, reset it, etc and still have the same problem. It's not a lense issue. Unless You know of a way, I'm screwed and new the entire unit.

Yeah, not sure about those. Any actual sites that sell new ones? Or a proper way of putting back together? I must have something out of align. The two grey pieces up front block the disc from going in. I held eject, taken it apart and followed guide. My issue is if I try to put it back together with a disc in the drive, it won't go together and I get the same result with the two plasic pieces up front.

Yeah I've done that. It's not too in depth though in that video. Doesn't say what to check when it doesn't go back together.
