I removed mine and the HDD >is practically a drop-in fit ... no pressure on the motherboard at all.< Maybe you've responded in a post I haven't gotten to, but I'll reply here anyway. Yeah Pres... I didn't realize anyone had had problems with dropping a 9.5mm drive into the L50s or L70s. You say above that the L50s were damaged "by HDD insertion." This implies to me that during the process of inserting and/or removing the drives, you damaged components on the the MB. I was always under the impression that as long as the spacers were taken out, that there would be no physical contact or heat problem.
