Question

DVD writer replacement

Oct 27, 2011 1:15AM PDT

I have to replace the defective DVD writer on my laptop and I don't know what product to buy.
The original device is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20L from LG, but I can't get one. So I must find an equivalent.
My laptop is an HP Compaq 6720s.
How can I be sure what DVD writer will work on it?
