changing dvd-drive in vgn-a197

Hi,

is it possible to change the internal dvd-drive to sony's slot loading DL DVD+-RW (Sony DWQ78A13)?

If so, how?

Thanks,

Petteri

Go to Nextronics.com and look at the cross section break down of your model to determine the cd reader bay dimensions. If it is the same as the mashita or pioneer you have onboard then go for it. However a word of warning. More than any other complaint on this forum do you hear of errant optical drives. Especially dual layer units and a slot loader sounds even more fraught with potential failure. Also your warranty will be null and void by crikey
