You may not find a bezel to make it look like the original lines but here, the DV6 and 7's look like they take a standard drive.
What it says, really
I have a spare laptop, an HP DV6, which I‘ve hooked up to my TV to watch films etc. The only thing I can’t manage is Blu-Ray disks, as the machine only has a DVD drive.
Now, eBay is full of used BR drives for laptops, but they’re for Acer, Lenovo etc. When I used to take laptops apart regularly years ago, I found that the optical drives were pretty much universal – you might have to change a little bracket at the back, and certainly the bezel at the front… then you were good to go.
So… if I buy an “Acer/Samsung/Fujitsu/etc” BR drive, will it definitely fit in my DV6 do you think?
