    replacing Optical Drive on laptops?

    Just wondering. are optical drives on laptops the same standard size?

    I know the exterior may be shaped aittle bit different but is it just a matter of getting a regular laptop optical drive and unscrewing any plastic casing and putting it in your new drive and slip back it back into the laptop?

    I don't want to pay the company 2x the price for the same drive if I can get one off newegg.com

    I hae a dell 700M and want to replace the dvd/cdrw with a DVD-+rw

    For the most part notebook burners are standard. However there are a few oddballs.

    This should suit your needs.

    Choices are avalable.
