Laptop upgrade!
Hey guys,
My friend is looking to upgrade from DVD player to burner on his laptop. I have never really delt with laptops so I am not aware of any complications that could arise. Are there any compatibility problems or anything else that I should know.
thanks

of course, im only speaking from what ive seen and dealt with, im sure that the forum regulars know much more than i do.
neo' is on the right track. Unfortunately, unlike desktop computers, laptop computers are all proprietary architecture or form factor. Therefore, you must upgrade or repair the laptop with hardware that is made for that particular model laptop computer. Usually, you will have to go to the manufacturer for upgrades like the one you are talking about. Even so, an upgrade may or may not be available. As a general rule, the older the laptop (the longer it has been out of production) the lesser your chances are of being able to purchase replacement or upgrade parts from the manufacturer.
