I put a post on here a while back as I was having problems with my Dvd drive on my laptop.
I have now decied that I do need a new DVD drive and having a look around I can't find many sites, any suggestions
The sites I've looked at are
ebuyer
pc world
amazon
I have a fujitsu siemens, I know that i will need a slimline drive but do I have to be selective on which make or are all standard size
I need the drive to be DVD/CD - + DLRW
Any help would be great

Probably easier to list the Model / Brand of laptop, then people can tell you how to remove the drive.
Once the drive is out, then you can eBay the Part Number / compatable DVD drives.
Some may just slide out with the press of a button, some may require 1 or 2 small screws from beneath, some may require you to remove the keyboard etc to gain access.
They are pretty much easy to take apart with a little patience and a good guide..0 -

Ok here the info hope it helps, if I had my old desktop it wouldn't be a problem, but I've never had the need to take this apart
Make: Fujitsu Siemens
Product: Esprimo Mobile V5535
Model #: V5535
Hope this helps someone (please be kind if I need to take things apart as I'm not 100% confident)0 -
