Q. The DVD drive on my Asus laptop has stopped working and it no longer shows up in My Computer. Its been troublesome for a while and I think its finally given up the ghost. Is there anyway to replace the drive, or do I must get one from Asus? Ive a feeling that a replacement from Asus would be horribly expensive.
A. Its certainly possible to buy replacement laptop drives, but whether it would fit your particular model is another matter. What you must do is remove the drive, usually through pressing a button or moving a slider on the bottom of the laptop, as well as have a observe the shape of the drive. This is important, because not all drives are the same shape. You also must observe the interface, as there's two main kinds of connector. You may also must remove the bezel from your existing drive and put it on the replacement drive, to ensure it matches the chassis. A couple of places you can attempt for replacement drives are drivemylaptop.co.uk and laptopspares.co.uk.
