Can I replace DVD drive in Tosh Sat Pro A10

pealy

Is it easy to changre the CD/DVD drive on a laptop? I don't have any writing capability and I've seen a DVD burner on Scan for £59 which looks like good value. (Pioneer DVR-K05 Slimline Slot Loading x8x8 DVD + -R and x4 Dual Layer (Not Hoojum Compatible)

I tried undoing all the screws I could find on the base but it wouldn't come out. Can't find the manual in my drawer or on-line so some advice would be appreciated..

try the help labs from the manufacturer they usually are very helpfull in sorting out what scews etc to undo.

It can be quite tricky as you have to take the lappy completely apart
to get to the cradle/carriage, your better off getting an external drive.

....but that's probably v. good advice as I already have one in my desktop so I'd actually only need a USB caddy which I'm guessing will be cheaper than £60
